Weekly Message From Coach Mazzola & The Medway Coaching Staff
Good Morning Mustangs!
Week 1 is upon us and I know we all can’t wait for Game Day. Despite not playing under the lights, we know it will be a great atmosphere regardless. Kickoff is at 11 am vs Westwood!
We had our Kickoff BBQ last week and it was a blast! Thank you to the Gridiron Club and Parents who volunteered and contributed to the event.
A couple of reminders:
1. We are in need of a chain crew (4 People), preferable the same 4 for all the home games. This is the best seat in the house. We can also use someone who would be dedicated to filming games (1 Person). We have a camera, just need a volunteer. We usually use ineligible players, but I would rather them be on the sideline focused on the game. Please email me @coachmazzola@gmail.com ASAP if you are interested in volunteering.
2. This weekend kicks off Gridiron Discount Club Card Sales. Good luck to all the Teams.! This is a great fundraiser to help our program.
3. Now that school is in full swing, please remind your athletes to communicate with me if they are in need of extra academic support after school. We do not start until 3:30, so there is plenty of time to meet with teacher’s and get some work done.
4. This weekend is the parent social (9/14 @ 7 pm at the Thayer Homestead). Looking forward to a great event!
As always, thank you for your support and Go Stangs!!

Good Morning,
Football season is here. Some of the upperclassmen just finished a three-day camp in Ashland where they were able to get a taste of new expectations moving forward as well as compete versus some solid programs. They did great and worked very hard. We definitely improved over the three days.
Today is media day (picture day). Photos will be taken of the payers in their Blue Jersey’s with khakis or khaki shorts. If your athlete does not have a blue game jersey please plan to arrive at the school around 3:30 to be issued a jersey. THERE WILL NOT BE PARENT MEETING FOLLOWING MEDIA DAY. MONDAY AUGUST 19 THERE IS AN ATHLETIC MEETING FOR ALL ATHLETES @ 6 pm.
Friday kicks off the pre-season. Freshman who has not received equipment will be issued equipment on Friday @ 3 pm and Coach Shumaker will hold a brief Team meeting for all freshman football players as well immediately following equipment issue.
If any varsity players have not been issued equipment, the should plan on arriving at the school around 2:30. Also, if you have not turned in an updated physical to Mr. Parcells, please do so prior to Friday. Athletes will not be able to participate without an updated physical on file. If you have any questions please reach out to Mr. Parcells jparcells@medwayschools.org
Please refer to the school athletic website for schedules. If there is a change, a message will go out through HUDL to all the athletes and it will also be reflected on the school website.Important Links:
