Danny Shaban is a heck of a player, I picked Barlow to win big because I knew Shaban would be run rough shod over the competition, like he has in almost every game this year.

How is this not happening already? Massachusetts high school Super Bowls are played at Gillette Stadium.

Yes they are, and Robert Kraft foots the bill. It was a thrill to watch my grandson and The Marblehead HS Magicians win the Super-Bowl last year at Gillette.
For the losers there’s heartbreak, but the sheer joy of playing in that Stadium with all of its bells and whistle, is huge for those kids. As for the winners, there was an ecstatic on field celebration followed by the return home of the team bus led by a police escort with sirens blaring, down several streets lined with townspeople cheering. And then later in the month, the players all received their championship rings. It’s not hyperbole to say that nothing galvanizes the spirit of a community like HS Football.

What’s even more encouraging was to hear the comments of players on what it all means to them. One of the seniors expressed it best.

"Marblehead football is a huge brotherhood, and there is no better way to learn many life lessons than being part of the team. It’s getting up early, going to school and practices, watching film, and playing against an opponent with people you love."

Kudos to Coach Mora for letting Connecticut HS players and the towns they represent experience the joy and heartbreak of playing for glory at the Rent,

He's a freak athlete. I'm sure exactly how good he is in comparison to FBS level players, but I would think he could translate to a linebacker at the next level. Kid is an extremely hard worker too
