GHS 1961 Freshmen Football Team
The count I heard passing the Gloucester High School athletes going strong at summer conditioning… How many jumping push ups do they go up to?
Beautiful effort and gym
These coaches and kids show up Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays and really dig in. The Volunteer coaches today were Zach Smith and Kyle. Michael Lattoff (sp?) is retiring and started this boot camp 30+ years ago. I marvel at the dedication of volunteer coaches.
My piping plover watch shift overlaps with this session. Good Harbor Beach piping plovers are conditioning alongside these hardworking athletes. The birds have to be well and strong for migration; zipping about the beach is no picnic.
Tough drills start low and use the ocean, too
I tried to get a photo of all the kids on the team…did not quiet get all…here’s what I was able capture.
Beat Danvers!!
Gloucester High School Football Team enjoys a Thursday Night Dinner at one of the parents home every week.
This week Gloucester Hosts Beverly High Friday Night
Former GHS athletes Gilbert Brown and Michael Tomaino are two of four from their class at Gloucester that have been selected to be captains of their football teams at the college level this year. That is truly unbelievable! The other two are Jordan Shairs at Curry and Chris Unis at Merrimac. I have no knowledge of this ever happening before and all these young men, along with their parents and former coaches should be proud of what they have accomplished.
Gloucester Boys win in exciting close game with Lynn English 26-21… hard fought all the way. This one was not decided until the last moment.
GHS Football rolls over Danvers 49-22 in last game of a good season. A real team effort with six different players scoring touchdowns!!
GHS is eliminated from playoffs after tough loss to undefeated Tewksbury 28-25.
GHS defeats Swampscott in a double overtime thriller last Saturday.
GHS wins another close game against Lynn English
GHS wins the battle in impressive win for a great start for the team and the “new” Newell Stadium. More photos will follow in the next day or so.
