I think we have some of the ingredients to contend for a Super Bowl, but it s way too early for us to say. Deep down inside, however, Cosenza wanted nothing more than to raise that Super Bowl trophy.<BR>On Saturday, December 2, 2000, Cosenza and his Red Raiders would get that opportunity. Entering the game 11-0, Fitchburg beat Springfield Central, at Worcester State College, to win the Central-Western Division I Super Bowl Championship, and finish the year with a school-record twelve wins.<BR>All the hard work had finally paid off. Twomley and McDonald had followed through with their two-year promise to bring Coach Cosenza and the entire City of Fitchburg that Super Bowl Championship. With their efforts, combined with those of their teammates and outstanding coaching staff, they could now bring closure to the vision of all those who had dreamed of finishing  Twelve and 0 . With their storybook season, they had not only accomplished their goals, but had also become the greatest football team in Fitchburg High School history, a storied tradition of over one hundred years.ain and  AA for the All-American Chain. For example, an athlete who does 185 pounds plus the Varsity Chain would record <br>185 VC.<br>The BFS Lifting Chains will make a difference. Our easy-on/off collar makes their use extremely effective and safe. Have fun with them and get new maxes quicker than ever before! before a game, the squad is introduced as the Hornet Football Team and all the players come running onto the field as a unit. Likewise, a team flag was created; and following each win, a victory ribbon is attached and the entire squad accompanies the flag as it is carried in front of the fans. <br>The players have taken on a sense of ownership in the football program. Next season, at their request, the weight room will have squad leaders. The squad leaders will be seniors. Each squad will be made up of ninth through twelfth graders. The squad leaders will mentor and assist younger athletes. The goal is to get even more participation in the weight room and create an incentive for athletes to learn the BFS system so well that they may become squad leades in the future. Our football players focu on helping teammates because it feels great and because it will ultimately help the team. <br>Helping others goes beyond the field and weight room. At the suggestion of Kathy Harris, Coach Harris wife, a reading program was established. On Fridays game days varsity players, dressed in their game shirts, travel to the elementary schools. There they spend 30 to 45 minutes reading to the elementary students, kindergarten through sixth grade. This is a major endeavor requiring coordination and cooperation of administration, high school faculty and staff, elementary teachers, coaching staff and the players. One glance at the expression on the younger students faces as they listen tells the tory: the results are worth the effort. <br>It would be wonderful to conclude the Hornets story with a picture of a 2002 state championship trophy, but we didn t reach that goal. We did make the playoffs, a substantial achievement for a team that was 0-9 a couple of seasons earlier. More important, however, are the lessons we learned and the individual contributions
