Kicking Off the Football Season

With last year’s record of 7-5, the football team is hoping for a greater success this year. Coached by Mark Ellis, the varsity football team has been preparing for the football season since mid-August. Graduating seniors Eric Thomas, Sam Silverman, Tucker Brady, Nick Mastrogiacomo, Rondell Clark, and Tyler Harwood will not be returning this year but the team will still play strong. As senior Captain Andrew Grant states, “We lost some key players from last year, but have a solid group coming back.” Besides Grant, seniors James Seatter, Zach Howe, Jake Holmes, Richard Sterndale, Dan Potts, and juniors Marc Berman and Tyler Haberkorn will be the strength to carry the team forward this season. There has always been an ongoing rivalry between Westborough and Algonquin when it comes to football, and senior captains Tony Silva, Grant, Brian Orlando, and Sam Nichols hope to lead the team to a three year in a row victory against the Tomahawks. The members of the team hope that with experience from last year, they will be able to finish the upcoming season with more wins. “After a successful season last year, we are looking to carry that momentum into this year. If we come together as a team, the wins will follow,” according to Grant. With their first win against Burncoat at Foley Stadium (29-20), team members and spectators look forward to the Rangers’ first home game against Saint John’s on September 24th.
