Commits: Wakefield’s Petittos will go separate ways

Brothers who are the same age always seem to be competing. But in the case of twins Mike and Matt Petitto (Wakefield, Mass.), one competition was pretty unique.

Teammates at Wakefield High School as freshmen and sophomores, while their games developed with the Fighting Clams, the two envisioned a scenario where they would play together at a high level in college.

That didn’t change when Matt relocated to California for his junior year, to live with their sister, who was running her own small business, something he wanted to learn.

“It’s something I want to pursue in college and after college,” he said.
