On the Attleboro side Dennis Walsh began as a game day volunteer for AHS football in 1991 under former head coach Cliff Sherman. He additionally served as a volunteer overnight chaperone at AHS Football Camp and was a long time and one of the original members of the AHS Gridiron Club.

In addition to the 13 individual inductees, the Hall of Fame will be honoring the 50th Anniversary of the 1966 Bishop Feehan Team that went undefeated.
