We are saddened to hear of the sudden passing of former Blue Devil DC and former Fitchburg High DC, Charlie Raff. Charlie’s energy for the game, and passion for his players, and students, was so genuine, and so so special. He impacted so many. Rest easy Raff.

Thank you for recognizing
@tony_kendall_

It is always hard to pick a preseason all-state team because no games have been played yet.
That said, here is ours, and if you didn't make it, you can always play yourself on with a strong fall.
Enjoy, and have a great season!
