Talking Massachusetts Statewide High School Football Playoffs on Thursday Night

High School Football America

Join me Thursday night on High School Football America when I talk with former Fitchburg head football coach Ray Consenza about a proposal for a statewide playoff system in Massachusetts.

Consenza, who also served as the president of the Massachusetts High School Football Coaches Association, will discuss the plan that will be put to a vote of the entire Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association membership.

Two years ago, the membership voted 190-114 against a proposal that would have changed the current league structures, plus taken away Thanksgiving Day games, in order to create a statewide playoff system.  The new system will maintain the league structure and not touch the Turkey Day games.

Cosenza, who is Fitchburg's athletic director, retired at the end of the 2011 season with a lifetime record of 194-116-1 with three Super Bowl victories.
