Last week, head football coach Mike Redding brought together his 2010 Super Bowl Champions one last time and for good reason. Players, coaches, family and friends spent a few special hours reliving the highlights of their season and celebrating both individual and team accomplishments.
Varsity players were awarded their Championship Super Bowl rings emblazoned with the team motto: "Never Surrender," that came alive and led them to victory at for their last game. In addition to championship jackets which had previously been distributed, team plaques and award booklets were presented to each varsity player as mementos of a season well-played.
Seniors received T-shirts donated by Hudl. Jackets were obtained through . Rings were designed by Balfour. Allegra put together the awards booklet and Nally & Associates produced the team plaques. The Mansfield Gridiron Club enabled each varsity player to receive this wonderful package of items via a very generous donation.
