Pops to Nic Dee Dant, 😂Hubby to Cheri❤️ NE, WC & FL Elite Clinic founder & CEO, "THE LEAGUE"👊 founder/CEO, former coach 😎of lots of great football Knights 🏈
Anyone else think it's time for the Catholic Conference (+LCC) to start playing the ISL Large (+Dex & Brooks) in some non-league play? There would be some GREAT games (ESPN worthy). Perfect for the region. It can happen! Catholics vs. publics is getting ridiculous...
We lost a NE FB legend this morning. Howie Vandersea passed away at the age of 81with his family present. He was a great man, coach, visionary and mentor to many coaches; NFL, NCAA, HS. This pic was him with his SC FB ALUM this spring. He had more fun than anyone that night.
Our great friend Lou Anarumo is going to the Super Bowl. His Bengals defense has been immense this entire postseason. Couldn’t be any happier for him. Great coach, the best guy 👑
The 28th annual New England Elite football clinic is in the books. What a great two days! Thanks to the 800+ players and 300+ coaches for making this event the premier high school football event in the country! Kids who love playing football, coaches who love coaching football 👊
Two of my best friends are going for their 200th win tonight. Couldn’t happen to two better guys and coaches. Good luck Bob and Al. Couldn’t be any prouder to call you my friends 🏈👊😂❤️🎉
When my brother Nick won his 300th game, I wrote his idol Coach Knight to ask him to send a congratulatory note. He responded by inviting him to spend preseason with him. Gift of a lifetime, from the absolute 🐐 of college basketball. He was a coach’s coach. RIP General 👊
Really excited to be partnering up with the New England Football Journal
@newftbj
. Just a bunch of guys who love New England football. Can’t wait to get started🏈👊
Congrats to BBN (Coach Willey), Dexter (Coach Day) and St Paul’s (Coach Vandersea) on their bowl game selections. We could see the potential this summer at NE ELITE. You guys finished! You’re bowling. LFG👊👊👊
Wow! Very fired up to be apart of the football community. So many coaches reached out to try to help us! We will now be playing The Avalon School (MD)
@TyreeSpinner
is a class act and we are greatful for him and his team to come up to play us at Russell field this Sunday at 6 pm
Thank you to all players and coaches who took part in New England Elite these past two days! It was great to see players learning and competing with some of the finest coaches around

What do Choate, Bbn, Dexter, St Paul’s and Stoneham HS have in common? They’re all Bowl Champions and they all send big groups to the NE ELITE.
#successisnotbyaccident
Having the NEFJ with us today was tremendous. No one does a better job covering NE football; from the pros to HS. Well done Adam and John. Much appreciated
How's This for a "Match up Weekend:" All Regional:
DEX-CM
Milton-BCH
BBN-XBHS
Brooks-LLC
GOVS-SJP
LA-SJS
Great talent every game. Wouldn't be a lot of 41-7 halftime scores, either way....
Can you imagine playing football your whole life and dreaming of your last game? Well that dream died for a bunch of seniors today. I can’t believe it. Disgusting. Irresponsible. Just plain sickening.
#noexcusespossible
Second signing day We already celebrated Brett Elliott's commitment to Duke in Dec and we got a chance to celebrate: Brian Brennan- Princeton, Henry Machnik - Williams, Jack Kelley- Trinity, Tyler Blum -RPI today! We will have more as the rest of the guys finalize their decisions
1100 NE Elite shirts getting prepped for next week’s clinic. Every guy gets a numbered shirt so he can get noticed while drilling, showcasing & playing

Honored to get a shoutout from the 🐐 Pat McAfee
@PatMcAfeeShow
. Not possible without former Knight LB Connor Campbell
@BostonConnr
gettin' it done! The guy just keeps making things happen✊
It was about time
@coachpapas1
got his ESPN shoutout. From the ISL to the NFL, his connections are unmatched.
All those early morning phone calls to the members of the coaching tree are paying off!!

In my 50+ years of watching/coaching MASS HS FB, I'm not sure I've seen an OL as BIG, talented and accomplished as this one. DEX will be fun to watch this season
#MILTONACADEMYFOOTBALL
would like to thank the
#ISL
and all the coaches for renaming the
#LinemanOfTheYear
award The Healey Lineman Of The Year. It's wonderful to know that Coach Healey will forever be remembered for his contribution to our league.

So proud of the BBN Knights winning the Papas Bowl. Typical Knights win; grind-it-out, gritty, tough/tough/tough!!! Special shout-out to Bo. One of the ALL TIME GREAT BBN PLAYERS…and there’s been a bunch of them 👊
Ballgame.
Bo MacCormack goes off for 430 yards rushing, 8 TD and a TD pass, as BB&N earns a 63-43 win in the John Papas Bowl. Incredible performance from a special player.
For the second time in three weeks two NE Elite legends will square off. Coach Almeida (Stoneham) vs coach Costabile (Shawsheen) in the Dsix North semi’s. Loser work the snack bar with Louis Anarumo (Bengals)
#nolosers
Day 1- West Coast Elite Football Clinic. Great crowd, Great talent, Great coaching staff. Guys competing in real padded football drills, getting coached, getting recruited. Perfect 👊

THE LEAGUE is back this year and expanding throughout New England. Current HS & D3 college coaches, former HS and college coaches, we're looking to fill staffs. If you love football, this is for you. You coach ball & we pay our coaches. DM us and we will get you the details!
Huge congrats to NEPSAC Champions BBN, Choate, Dexter and St Pauls. All send multiple players to our NE Elite Clinic. Hard work pays off!

The best “feel good story” in MASS football in 2020. From a defunct St Clements program to the Naval Academy Football team. “Never Ever Give Up”. Should be a movie someday.
Wow! Coach Civetti and the entire Jumbo community rolled out the red carpet yesterday for our NE ELITE Clinic. Just blown away by this great site. Can’t wait for Day 2!
Logged 35k steps, that’s 17 miles, today as we hosted

@TuftsFootball
to share our amazing school with so many others. Can’t wait for tomorrow!
It is with a heavy heart and fond memories that I inform you of Ashleigh Davenport’s passing. He was a great guy with a heart of gold, a wonderful colleague and a friend to all. We had too many tremendous times to count. God bless the Great Coach D🙏🏽 🐐
Good luck to the 112 NE Elite Clinic players playing in Saturday’s NEPSAC Bowl games. Every team has at least one NEE player on it. Great to see our guys achieve

We are always looking for qualified students that want a high level of education along with a high level of athletics. If you are a 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th or 11th grader and want to find out more, DM me.
For the spread coaches Pro means the guy next to the OT is called the tight end and the guy behind the QB is a Fullback. Used to work well back in the day
#oldschool
There is nothing like senior night at BBN. Plenty of tears. Tears of joy, tears of sadness. That’s what great teams consist of; great young men with passion. Lots of great ones have done that final winner. Proud of the 2023 seNIORS. Let’s finish this season strong.

Three coaches from the NE Elite Staff will be in the NFL playoffs this weekend. Lou Anarumo, defensive coordinator, Cincinnati Bengals. Joe Philbin, offensive line, Dallas Cowboys. Chris Shea, VP, Kansas City Chiefs. Dreams do come true! Let’s go boys👊
Joe Burrow's advice to kids: Don't get sucked into social media. "Work in silence. Don't show anyone what you're doing. Let your performance on Friday and Saturday night speak for it."
Love the new decor over in the knights athletic center! 10 bowl games in the last 19 seasons is awesome! This one being the John Papas Bowl in honor of our hall of fame coach makes it that much sweeter!
