Message: [QUOTE="Nostical, post: 4462299, member: 749"] 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, [/QUOTE]
