 Massachusetts High School Football Coaches Association Paul Costello Courageous Player Award Congratulations to Danny Lang and Stephen Sellner. Both have been selected as winners of the 2010 Paul Costello Courageous Player Award by the Massachusetts High School Football Coaches Association (MHSFCA) for the courage they have displayed playing football while dealing with diabetes. This award was created by Paul Costello; the longtime football coach and executive treasurer of the MHSFCA. This award is presented annually to senior players who have played while physically challenged, enduring a hardship, or in some way serving as an inspiration to their team. The players must have demonstrated – teamwork, spirit and sportsmanship. The award is for young men who have played "Above and Beyond" and merit special recognition. This year's statewide twelve recipients will be honored at a banquet at Lantana's in Randolph on April 25th. Red Rocketeers lose a heralded member of the Long Red Line. 
 The North Attleboro Community along with the Red Rocketeer football program wish to pass along our heartfelt condolences to the family of Kyle Van De Giesen. The tragic news of his passing has left a void in many lives, as not only was he a tremendous football player that wore the Big Red uniform proudly but more importantly he was a tremendous leader that stoically wore our country's uniform. Kyle's younger brother Ryan (above, right) will carry on the Van De Giesen name as he now prowls the sideline as an Assistant Coach for the Red Rocketeers. Our prayers and thoughts are with Ryan and his family as they begin the healing process. Kyle will be missed but never forgotten!

Complete Story Red Rocketeers give back to the Community When it comes to the support of a community, the Red Rocketeer High School football program can count their blessings every year. With the economy the way it is and so many North families needing assistance, the Monday Night Gridiron Club along with the coaches and players wanted to show their gratitude and give back to the community. Using the proceeds from the 50/50 raffle at this year's Mansfield game, the Red Rocketeers have made 2 donations to local charities. A $250 dollar donation to Lenore’s Pantry and a $250 dollar donation to Christmas is for Kids. These funds will be used to help restock the shelves with non-perishable goods for many North families and also provide toys to the hundreds of underprivileged children in our area. Happy Holidays to all from Big Red Football!
