“A home run” for Leominster-Fitchburg rivalry

Teams to play annual football game at Fenway Park


By NICK MALLARD | nmallard@sentinelandenterprise.com | Sentinel & Enterprise

PUBLISHED: September 20, 2023 at 4:24 p.m.

There’s a story that plenty of athletes and residents of Fitchburg have heard, though its validity has been up for debate for years now.

It’s long been said that Babe Ruth visited a newly-opened Crocker Field sometime in 1918, marveling at the venue alongside legendary Fitchburg coach Clarence N. Amiott.

Some 105 years later, the Red Raiders will get a chance to take in the sights at one of the ballparks formerly called home by Ruth and the rest of Boston’s all-time greats.

It became official on Tuesday morning that the Fitchburg High football team will host its annual Thanksgiving rivalry game against Leominster High at Fenway Park. With the change of venue also comes a change in time and date; the game will be played on Thanksgiving Eve at 6:30 p.m., rather than the traditional Thursday morning kickoff.

The longstanding rivalry game is one of four contests to be played at the hallowed Boston ballpark during the runup to Thanksgiving. TechBoston and Brighton will open things on Tuesday with a game at 5 p.m., followed by King Philip vs. Franklin at 7:30 p.m. On Wednesday, the action opens with Chelmsford squaring off with Billerica at 4 p.m. before the 143rd meeting between the Blue Devils and Red Raiders closes the festivities, moving east from the originally scheduled game at Crocker.

Fenway Park hosted high school football games in its infancy in 1912 and continued to do so until 1935. High school gridiron action returned in 2015 and has been ongoing since then. It also has played host to college football and various concerts.

Bringing the Twin Cities rivalry to Boston had been discussed twice before, according to Fitchburg athletic director Todd Robbins, but each time things fell through.

“The most important thing we’ve stressed through this entire process is that it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. We’ve been saying that over and over,” Robbins said Wednesday. “It’s been floated out there a couple time before, but it would be one school disagreeing or the other

“This year, there’s been massive construction going on around Crocker Field and with the turf still being natural grass, it probably wouldn’t be in the best shape by the time Thanksgiving rolled around. The student-athletes wanted to do it and the administration has supported it every step of the way.”

David Palazzi, Robbins’ counterpart at Leominster High School, said Wednesday that this season felt like the right time to play at Fenway.

“It’s really exciting for the kids and times are changing. I think both cities are open to accepting a move like this for a really special experience,” the Leominster AD said. “I really didn’t put it out there to too many people, but I talked to a few guys I played with and they thought it was a great idea.

“It’s a historic ballpark and will give these kids an experience they’ll carry with them for the rest of their lives. … It’s a home run for both communities.”

The idea to take the 117th edition of the Thanksgiving game to Fenway was waiting for Robbins when he started his first season as AD at Fitchburg in August. And prior to plans being set into motion on his first day on the job, Robbins and Palazzi had discussed the possibility of playing in Boston.

“David and I had made calls to each other even before and I let him know if the chance came around, he’d have a dancing partner,” Robbins said. “My first day on the job, there was an email from the organizers at Fenway who had been emailing (Palazzi) asking who to get in touch with at Fitchburg High. Two days later, we had our first video meeting with the people at Fenway.

“We had been talking a lot already, so it wasn’t too much of a process. We’re working with a great team at Fenway and they’ve made this pretty painless.”

The organizers at Fenway Park are a team that work on non-baseball events like college football games and concerts, Robbins said.

“It should be an exciting night,” Palazzi said. “It’s about the kids and the seniors and the experience. Overwhelmingly, they all wanted to play (at Fenway).”

Tickets for the game will be available through the Red Sox website. Free tickets will be made available to students, with details to come from schools, according to Robbins.

And moving to one of the nation’s oldest and most revered ballparks should provide a remarkable for one of the state’s oldest football rivalries on top of being a unique opportunity.

“We want it to be accessible for everyone,” Robbins said. “This is more than a football game; it’s a community event. It’s an event to celebrate the Twin Cities.”

Good Afternoon Fitchburg High School Families: 

Thank you for a great week of school. 

Thank you for making our first Open House a great event. 

Please check the daily announcements section on our website for some exciting accomplishments for Fitchburg High School students and some exciting news about a guest speaker we had this past week. 

We had our first advisory this past Friday. Students watched a brief video about an after school program around leadership being offered through the United Way Youth Venture. Additionally, students identified their morning and afternoon buses. This will help us identify any overcrowded buses and work with the transportation company to make adjustments. 

Students did an excellent job with our first lock down drill this past week. 

Communication for all drills and emergency protocols will be communicated directly to all families, as well as posted on the daily announcements section of our website.

Please email our front office secretaries with updated contact information, if you are not receiving our communications.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2023

Karen St. Germain is thrilled to be home.

But she’s even more excited that she was able to share her passion to the students at Fitchburg High School on Friday.

St. Germain, a 1983 FHS graduate, is the Director of Earth Science for NASA, and came back home to her alma mater and gave two extremely informative science presentations in the auditorium.

“I really believe in public service,” said St. Germain, who holds a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from Union College (1987) and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Massachusetts (1993). “One of the things I love most about my job is that it is both very cool science and it makes a huge difference in peoples’ lives. The work we do advances the state of knowledge, but it is also enormously practical. We help farmers produce more food. We help first responders fight wildfires and manage disasters. We help leaders - from mayors to governors to presidents - plan for challenges like flooding, heat emergencies and clean water. The power of science is really unleashed when it is in the hands of people who need to to make better decisions.”

According to St. Germain, her job is to run the part of NASA that uses the unique vantage point of space to study our home planet.

“Most people don’t know that the planet NASA studies the most is Earth,” St. Germain said. “I hope to show the students how we see the Earth from space, how the Earth works as a system and how we do the science that gives us confidence in that understanding. I also hope to inspire the students to consider careers in STEM and help to meet the challenges humanity is facing. I also hope to inspire confidence in them that they can do it. I also know that when I speak with students, I am always inspired by their curiosity and drive so I benefit too.”

St. Germain’s advice to the students is pretty simple.

“I encourage students to pursue a field that is interesting and important to them,” she said. “Then, just keep going. I think it is important to help other people and ask for help when you need it. We spend an awful lot of our lives working. If you can spend that time doing something that you find engaging and you get to do it with a community of people, it feels a lot less like work.”

St. Germain, who also attended Memorial, says that she is a proud graduate of Fitchburg High and the Fitchburg school system.

“Fitchburg teachers and the community invested in me and inspired me, and I am deeply grateful for that,” she said. “My work has taken me around the country and around the world, but Fitchburg will always be my home.” #NASA

Good morning,

A faulty fire detector was activated at Fitchburg High School this morning. 

Students exited the building and then reentered the building after the alarm was reset. 

We also entered into a medical hold after students entered the building. 

All students and staff members are safe. Thank you.

Regards,

FHS Administration

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2023

This message is to inform parents and guardians that Fitchburg High School conducted a modified lockdown drill in partnership with Fitchburg Police at approximately 9:40a. 

The purpose of this drill was to focus on planning to ensure that every member of our school community is safe in the event that we need to secure the building.

Fitchburg High School students and staff have been using strategies that also provide flexibility to the lockdown scenario including evacuating, securing doors of a classroom, and other methods to counter a potential threat.

Safety is the primary responsibility of the administration, faculty, and staff, and we take our preparation for unforeseen events with great seriousness. 

Remember this is only a drill. 

If you have any questions, please contact a school administrator directly, and I thank you very much.

Dr. Braga

Students at Fitchburg High School earned academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Programs. These programs celebrate students' hard work in high school and showcase their strong academic performance. The academic honors for rural area, Black, Indigenous, and/or Latino students are an opportunity for students to share their strong academic achievements with colleges and scholarship programs that are seeking to recruit diverse talent.

 

Congratulations to the following Fitchburg High students:


• Class of 2025 Alexander Fey: (National Rural and Small Town Award) 

• Class of 2024 Estella LeBlanc: (National Rural and Small Town Award) 

• Class of 2024 Kevin Borges: (National Hispanic Recognition Award) 

• Class of 2025 Theopoula Awad: (National African American Recognition Award)

 

“We’re thrilled to celebrate our students and recognize them for the great work they’ve been doing. We’re proud of their strong academic performance in the classroom and on College Board assessments like the PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, and AP exams,” said Fitchburg High Principal John Braga. “There’s so much that makes our students unique, and receiving this honor reinforces this as an asset for their future.”


“These awards are a validation of each student's dedication to their academics,” said FHS Guidance Counselor Michele Houle.

 

The criteria for eligible students include:

• GPA of 3.5 or higher.

• PSAT/NMSQT or PSAT 10 assessment scores that are within the top 10% of assessment takers in

   each state for each award program or earned a score of 3 or higher on 2 or more AP Exams in 9th and 10th grade.

• Attend school in a rural area or small town, or identify as African American/Black, Hispanic

American/Latino, or Indigenous/Native.

Eligible students are invited to apply on BigFuture during their sophomore or junior year and are awarded at the start of the next school year in time to share their achievements in high school as they plan for the future. At the same time, colleges and organizations using College Board’s Student Search Service™ can connect directly with awardees during the recruitment process.

 

“It’s becoming increasingly hard for students to be ‘seen’ during the college recruitment process. We’re exceptionally proud of the National Recognition Programs for celebrating students who are at times overlooked but have shown their outstanding academic abilities,” said Tarlin Ray, senior vice president of BigFuture at College Board. “This is a benefit not only for students, but also for colleges and universities committed to recruiting diverse and talented students.”
