All day yesterday, Dec. 5, 2009, the stage belonged to Massachusetts High School Teams vying for a Super Bowl victory. Being on a stage this big is alone a great feat, but to be able to be playing at major Football venues makes these games really special. It gives the players a feel for what it is like to play on the same field as some of their favorite players that they watch every Sunday or Saturday even.

The Patriots, a few years back, reconstructed their football field. It was honestly such an eye sore from week to week. It would have a strip down the middle of the field were the grass just could not grow¹ due to the constant use of the facility by the Patriots and New England Revolution. I mention this because, last year was the first year Gillette Stadium was able to host any Super Bowl games for High School players.

With a revamped field, Gillette Stadium opened its doors to those Super Bowl games for High School football players. I think it is awesome for these young players to be able to participate in these games at this type of facility. It makes the games being played that much more fun and exciting for each player.

Here are the scores² and also some video recaps of the games that were played this past Saturday.
