Last night the football team was honored at the Western Massachusetts Football Officials Association Banquet. Only the captains, Coaches, and Athletic Director Last night the football team was honored at the Western Massachusetts Football Officials Association Banquet. Only the captains, Coaches, and Athletic Director were allowed to attend. Today our principal got a nice surprise visit from the entire team and the coaches. Yes, it is true they all fit in Mr. Blain’s office. What a great surprise… It might smell like a locker room now, but he actually loves it. Congrats to the players and coaches. Winning teams with great sportsmanship are hard to find, and Agawam can be proud that we have the right combination.
