The Attleboro Area Football Hall of Fame will hold its 54th annual banquet and induction ceremonies on Tuesday, November 24th at 6:00 PM at the Attleboro Lodge of Elks on South Main Street in Attleboro. This most unique tradition honors players, coaches, and supporters from the three rival high school football programs of Attleboro, North Attleboro, and Bishop Feehan. This bringing together of fiercely competitive opponents from the present and past to share in an evening of camaraderie and mutual respect has been a highlight of the Thanksgiving holiday since 1971.

This year’s inductees from Attleboro are Nick Evans ‘19, Jason Weir ‘20, and Michael Strachan Jr. ‘21; representing Bishop Feehan are Justin Brunell ‘03, Andrew Murphy ‘12, and CJ Herson ‘17; and from North Attleboro, Jason Feid ‘91, Nate Danho ‘04, and Tyler DeMattio ‘22. The 2026 Honorary Inductee is Patti Johnson from North Attleboro.

Proceeds from this year’s banquet will again be used to continue our annual Hall of Fame scholarships. The selection of the scholarship recipients reflects their outstanding commitment to football, great leadership skills, and sportsmanship they displayed during their four years of high school. Since 2001, the Hall of Fame, in partnership with the L.G. Balfour Foundation, has recognized 362 student-athletes and awarded $375,000 in total scholarship money.

Since 2001 the Hall has now recognized 347 high school senior players with awarding over $360,000 in total scholarship money.

This year’s scholarship recipients (‘25 graduates) from Attleboro are Austin Bessette, Hunter Camara, Mikey Huntington, Kelan Jones, and Shaun Maher; representing Bishop Feehan are Tommy Cairns, Dan Castano, Max Certuse, Sean Hickey, and Anthony Pinabell; and from North Attleboro, Ryan Bannon, Lucas Crovo, Chase Frisoli, Patrick Hamilton, and Brady Paradis.
