Our kids were incredible tonight when it mattered most. Big stop, after big stop on defense and finding a way to drive 76 yard with :28 remaining and no timeouts. Scoring on the final play and punching in the 2 point conversion for the win. Crazy finish in a great rivalry!
Our most important task each year as a team, is taking a silent walk to the Veteran’s park and each placing a flag in recognition of their service and sacrifice. I am so proud of our kids and coaches for carrying out this simple act of gratitude for those who give so much!
Wins and losses are a dime a dozen, but teaching our young men to do what’s right while displaying leadership, integrity, respect and discipline is our greatest responsibility! Honoring veterans like Mr. Simonian and Mr. Mcshehee at Chelmsford’s veterans park!
#thankyou
Junior OL/DL Griffin Hart continues to put in great effort from home to prepare for the fall. Can’t wait to see how he’s improved when we get on the field!

What an unbelievable effort by our kids today in an absolutely classic high school football game on Thanksgiving morning. Even though we drew the short straw I am so proud to lead this program and couldn’t be prouder of our kids. Happy Thanksgiving!
Captain Kyle Wilder was selected as the league’s Most Courageous Player.

Big things ahead for Thomas Brown on the football field and the wrestling mat! Winning the holiday tournament as a freshmen in the heavyweight division is absolutely unheard of! Congratulations Thomas! Unbelievable job.

My name is Nik Sperounis, I will lead this team by being vocal with motivation when I’m present and by holding players accountable for their actions. I also will lead this team by motivating players with my own fight.
When word got out that a young child in town wasn’t going to have as many guests attend his birthday party as they’d hoped, those who could sprung into action! Athletes from the football & soccer team partnered up with CPD/CFD to give this youngster the best party they could.

Coach Bill Tighe was not only one of the greatest coaches in MA high school football history. He was an unbelievable man, father and teacher. I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to build a friendship with him while coaching in Lexington. He will be missed.
Calling all Chelmsford football players, past present and future. Post your favorite photo of you in a Lions uniform and write a quick about what it meant to be a part of our program! So grateful to be a part of this program and community!
