NORTH ATTLEBORO - The Sun Chronicle's Mark Farinella, who has spent the past three decades covering a variety of sports at all levels of competition, will be the the honorary inductee when the Attleboro Area Football Hall of Fame conducts its 39th annual banquet and induction ceremonies Nov. 24 at the Attleboro Lodge of Elks.

Farinella, a product of Mansfield High School and Northwestern University, inks twice-weekly columns for the Sun Chronicle, while providing insightful coverage for thousands of area high school football players, coaches, and fans.

This year's inductees from Attleboro High School are Eric Buckley '95, Nick Bosh '98 and Louie DiBacco '99. Representing representing Bishop Feehan High are Ryan Cherry '96, Mike Cataldo '98, and Tyler King '99. The Rocketeers from North Attleboro High set for induction include Nate Weeman '94, John Sawyer '95, Joe DiGeorge '98 and Pat Kelleher '98.

This most unique tradition honors players, coaches, and supporters from the three rival high school football programs of Attleboro, North Attleboro, and Bishop Feehan, bringing together fiercely competitive opponents from the present and past to share in an evening of camaraderie and mutual respect.

The proceeds from this year's banquet will again be used to continue our annual Hall of Fame scholarship donations that will be awarded to select senior football players from each high school who exhibit an outstanding commitment to football, great leadership skills, and sportsmanship. To obtain tickets for the Hall of Fame Banquet (tickets are $40 each), please contact Jim Johnson at 695-3748, Chris Servant at 226-7411, or Steve Houle at 639-9557.
