The coverage has started.

This morning’s Lowell Sun Sports is headlined by a discussion by local football coaches regarding Dracut’s chances in this weekend’s game.

After last week’s win against Brockton, Dracut is ready to take on the Crimson Tide. Many plan to take the trip down to Everett for the game (including former coach Murphy).

According to the Dracut HS Sports webpage, a note from Athletic Director Tim Woods says that a fan bus available as well:

There will be a fan bus available for those who would like to see Dracut High Middies Vs. Everett on September 20th. The game is at 2:00 P.M. and the fan bus will depart at 12:30 P.M. from the Dracut High football field.

Tickets must be purchased in advance and are on sale starting Monday, 9/15 from 11:00 P.M. to 12:00 P.M. in the school cafeteria or at Athletic Department Office until 2:00 P.M. daily.

Update: The Lowell Sun reminds us:

There will be a live video stream of this game on http://www.lowellsun.com for those of you who cannot attend.

Another Update: The Band is Attending

Dracut’s High School Marching Band was not planning on attending this game for lack of funds for transportation.

Everett would have none of that.

In a surprise gesture, Everett is paying the transportation costs to bring our band down to participate in a town parade, as well as the half time show during the game.

Press Coverage continues.

Athletic Director Tim Woods tells me that he has been dealing with press people non-stop all week. The Lowell Sun, The Boston Globe, The Boston Herald, WBOS Radio, 980 WCAP, a local Everett Newspaper and Radio station…

He has also been contacted by Fox 25 News, who want to cover the October 10th game against St Johns Prep as well.
