Area high school football coaches recall Hall of Fame Ceremony

Selflessness was a key theme of the service. 
 
The three coaches connected to the local area, who were on Sunday inducted into the Massachusetts High School Football Coaches Association (MHSFCA) Hall of Fame, skipped any recognition and heaped all the credit to their families, assistant coaches, players, and parents. 
 
“Any man that thinks himself to be a head coach who can manage without other assistances simply is sadly mistaken,” Phil Marchegiani said adding later on, “And the same thing applies to all parents.  Without parents, there would simply no players; without players, no coaches. ”
 
Marchegiani, for instance, the former long-time Marian High coach who led them to a record three championships, was chosen as one of the seven inductees who were welcomed at the DoubleTree Hotel in Milford during the ceremony. Mahoney, Marlborough’s 20-year head coach, along with Gary Doherty of Framingham and Chris Lindstrom of Shepherd Hill were inducted as well.  Doherty’s said colleague Sean Mulcahy was enshrined along with Dom Savio/Dennis-Yarmouth’s Reggie Lanciani and North Attleborough’s Paul Sullivan. 
 
Marco’s wife Janet and his son Tyler were the ones who shouldered the burden of altered schedules and long hours that took him away from the family home , as pointed out in Marchegiani’s speech on that event. 
 
First and foremost, the initial sacrifice my family members pledged to make allowed to happen the Sunday event.  “No commitment,” my father said to the Daily News by phone, “means no event, no show. ”
 
Lifelong learner and former student of Ms.  Scheumann, Shero obtained coach job at Marian U High in 1974, where she worked for 22 years and earned 11 consecutive Eastern M. S championships. Having won Super Bowl titles in 1992, 2001 and 2002.

He was the school's head coach for 46 seasons, where he achieved 145 wins and 10 titles of the Catholic Central championship at the school, which closed its doors in 2018. Marchegiani did not coach only in that specific school as his coaching career is also a part of the Ayer-Shirley history. 
 
Another theme which is brought to my attention by Marchegiani is his mentors.  His tennis brother Jerry , and the longtime high school Connecticut coach of his by the name of Jude Kelly are some of his teachers.  Although, the man who hired him to Marian in 1988 was the athletic director Bill Howland. 
 
Besides the men right beside him, each of them got their rewards as well. 
 
He said “You’re going to be successful not in your decision-making capability, but only to the extent your assistant coaches are. ” Clearly the number of people who helped was much . 
 
Number one was Joe Beveridge, who has long served as Westborough’s present coach. 
 
Marchegiani, who was Beveridge’s seventh-grade science teacher also at JFK Middle School in Hudson, revisited Beveridge when he was serving as substitute teacher at JFK in 2001.   Through him, she recommended Beveridge for the assistant coach position at Marian. 
 
He was the 1st person to invest and offered a lot of his time teaching me all about the game.  "I felt as if he was my mentor," I assured him. 
 
Be her ever focused and accuracy minded assistant! The season started off bad for Marian, as she began a various kinds of problems in the writing, and Marchegiani studied the colleges in the US to learn who had fumbled the least. The great one, a guy known to most of us as Carroll “Cadrillac” Williams and Ronnie Brown from the Auburn Tigers team, both had 1,000-yard NFL seasons at one point in time. 
 
“(Pruzzo) apparently got the phone number of the ball head coach at Auburn and he had called him in order to find out what they had done in order to prevent fumbling,” Beveryidge told us he said.  “We had zero fumbles the rest of the season. ””
 
Crediting Marlborough’s Sean Mahoney’s general manager as ‘the best in town’ is owed to ‘tireless work ethic’. 
 
Beside, approaching Mahoney through the aspect of himself is the hard belief. On the other hand, let me tell you that these people were the ones who did that for him. 
 
It has been 15 seasons since Mahoney, who was hired at Marlborough in 2004 and who already claims his 150th career win has been the coach of the Panthers. 
 
“Sean’s although having changed the last decade, he is crippling this with superb work ethics,” said the director of all athletics in Marlborough, Jeff Rudzinsky. This is not an exaggeration: there is not a day in his life that he wouldn’t be gluing onto a football movie Learnig new methods for shaping the attack or defense they can use, based on their squad and abilities. 
 
“Some people think that the best coaches or myself stick with the same strategies” ‘what we do’, but Sean changes the strategies according to the skills of his athletes players he has. 
 
Despite his suggestion that people might think him bonkers, Mahoney actually contributed a great deal in a way that few might realize. 
 
“I just couldn’t do this alone.  It is also everyone who coached and everyone who wore the orange and the black at Marlborough for the last 20 years, it is theirs as well,” he wrote in a text. 
 
Gary Doherty: 'It didn’t belong to us. 
 
From 1963 until 1982, Doherty conventional at Framingham and had won only six cases. But his seven victories over their traditional Thanksgiving arch-rival Natick, and the only Super Bowl that they ever won (in 2000) were all in the history of the Flyers. 
 
In 2009, he made a debut at Framingham Middle School where he was also the athletic director before his appointment as the head coach at Bishop Feehan in 2017. He already is an assistant for youth development program in the Taunton High. His dad, John Doherty a. k. a.  “Duffy,” a baseball player was drafted into the Mass. Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1992 along with fellow Norwood all-time greats, for his role in leading the team to two Super Bowl championships. 
 
According to Gary Doherty he didn’t share this news with many people, except for a few closest ones.  It also didn’t escape him that his brother John, who lived in the U. S. , would accompany his whole family on first short visit in many years. Last but not least, a Virginia resident brother of theirs named Kevin and the Florida resident sister Christine both made it for the flight. 
 
Sometimes, when I talk about it, I get a little shaky inside.  I prefer to think of myself as a coach for the whole team.  It would not be right to distort this. Whenever the topic revolves around the children, team, it is certainly the team and the kids that matter most. 
 
“Nobody’s so far got into the team.  That’s where you belong”.
