Coach James Kelliher of the AHS Football team will be an honoree at the All- American Football Foundation’s (AAFF) 88th Banquet of Champions. It will be held at the Marriot Hotel in Newton, MA. Coach Kell will receive the President Gerald R. Ford All-American High School Coach Award. Armond Colombo, the coach of the Brockton High School football team, will also be honored.



The Banquet is dedicated to the coaches, players, and sports administrators of New England. It takes place on Thursday, December 6, 2007. The reception starts at 6:00 P.M. and the dinner starts at 6:45. This ceremony will almost certainly be a day he will never forget.

Coach Kell isn’t the only person accepting awards. Jonathan Kraft owner of the New England Patriots will be presented with the Lamar Hunt Pro Football Executive Award. Tom Brady, on the other hand, will receive the Charlie Conerly Outstanding Pro Football Player Award.

When Coach Kell was asked how he felt about receiving this prominent award he replied, “It’s an award that is not something I accomplished, but my past players and coaches did. Yeah, I’m the coach, but it’s their accomplishment. I feel gracious receiving the award on behalf of Greenwave Football and Abington High School.”

When asked how he felt to be at this event with other football greats, Coach Jim Kelliher said “he’s looking forward to getting his photo taken with Brady and Kraft of the New England Patriots.”

Congratulations Coach Kell and Greenwave Football!
