Scouting Stanton on the basketball court his senior year at North Quincy High, Massachusetts Maritime Academy football coach Jeremy Cameron took note of his relentless competitiveness. Stanton had directed a Wing-T attack at North Quincy. At Mass. Maritime, he was being asked to quarterback a no-huddle attack, taking few snaps under center Sat, 29 Sep 2012 04:00:00 GMT https://www.mascac.com/sports/fball/2012-13/releases/MMA_Globe_Stanton https://www.mascac.com/sports/fball/2012-13/releases/Westfield_Rich_NEFC Tim Rich's collegiate debut at quarterback was memorable as the Westfield State University junior was selected the offensive player of the week in the 16-team New England Football Conference Sun, 02 Sep 2012 04:00:00 GMT https://www.mascac.com/sports/fball/2012-13/releases/Westfield_Rich_NEFC https://www.mascac.com/sports/fball/2012-13/releases/Maritime_Herald_Stanton Even on a sun-splashed afternoon the wind can blow hard in Buzzards Bay at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy.

The Lancers return only four starters on offense and five on defense. The good news is the backups last season played for the best WSU team in nearly a decade. They probably would have started for a lot of other Lancers teams Mon, 27 Aug 2012 04:00:00 GMT https://www.mascac.com/sports/fball/2012-13/releases/Worcester_Football_Preview https://www.mascac.com/sports/fball/2012-13/releases/Framingham_Metrowest_Preview Earning success can be a long and arduous process. For the Framingham State football program, that long process is finally starting to pay off. Coming off its first Bogan Division title last season and a heartbreaking loss in the New England Football Conference title game to Western New England University, expectations are high as this season gets underway September 1 against Endicott.
