“To be successful at anything, the truth is you don’t have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren’t: consistent, determined and willing to work for it.” - Tom Brady 6/12/24

"Walk off" game winner today. Ryan Boyce runs a draw on final play of game down by 1 point. Runs it from our own 41, leaps a defender, lands and throws a lateral pass to Collin Falconer who runs it 35 yards for a TD as clock expires. Never give up!

Progress down at Lasell. These goal posts have seen a lot of success over the years! Big thanks to Tim Labrie and Josh Kaske from L&M landscaping, Coach and Jess Lachapelle and Steve and Dave Falconer for going out in the snow to get these down. Complete renovation and turf soon!
50 years of coaching football at NHS for Coach Lach.

Remarkable run and there are no signs of it stopping.
Stay tuned!
That's a wrap on the "Old Lasell Field" JV's go out with a 14-8 win over Uxbridge. Friends of Lasell and the Town of Northbridge are delivering a new turf complex for next season. Lots of great games and lots of blood, sweat and tears in that soil....
Going into our 125th year of Northbridge football Coach LaChapelle sits at

Five miles apart, two recent State Championships, one coaching tree with a lot of branches, a hundred plus years of experience and millions of angles to this brand new rivalry. Where will you be Saturday at 1 PM?
⚡Rams Alum Jake Wood takes two kicksoffs to the house last night in his debut after transferring to Nichols. Kid is lighting in a bottle, been making big plays as long as we have know him!
Just got off the phone with a RAM football alum who just earned the title Marine and is on a quick break before infantry/recon school. He credits HS athletics with preparing him to succeed. Our alumni are out doing great things and we love to hear about it. BMorgs is

The best traditions are tried and true: Horns have been earned and issued. 122nd season of RAMS football kicks off tomorrow night. Come out to Lasell Field at 7 and get LOUD.
Thanksgiving day games matter! Regardless of what season format is decided on going forward this is an absolute as far as we're concerned. RT if you agree!

122 years of football in Northbridge has seen plenty of our boys cross over to being men that serve in the armed forces. We're safe because of their choice to serve and sacrifice. Thank You for your service. 🇺🇸
4 years ago today we were the guests of both
@MassGovernor
and
@Muradian4Rep
celebrating our '15 State Championship. Now many of the young men in this picture are graduating from college under more difficult times with much less fanfare. Congratulations from all of us!

Amazing how thick these goal posts were. We're guessing the pipes came from the Whitin Machine Works. Best guess is that they were installed sometime around 1960. They would have stood for another 1,000 years easily.
Happy New Year! The 2020 football season at NHS will be the 125th. Can't think of a better way to celebrate this milestone than to open the season at home on a renovated Lasell Field complete with a new turf playing surface. Thank you all for you support!
We're hoping for a big crowd at Lasell field for our Thanksgiving day game vs Uxbridge.
This is our 125th year of football at NHS. At halftime we're going invite all NHS football alumni to the field for a brief presentation of a commemorative football to be displayed at NHS.
Lasell Field namesake.
Captain John Whitin Lasell, US Army.
Killed in Action WWII; Dec. 1, 1943
Rangoon, Yangon Region, Myanmar
He was flying a B-24 and the plane was hit by enemy fire.
Remember him and all that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
