School committee tackles stands, football coach

NORTH ATTLEBORO - Will the high’s school Raymond E. Beaupre Jr. Field have bleachers when the fall sports season kicks off for Red Rocketeers’ athletic teams in September?

It’s the $2.5 million question fans want answered.

The timeline was a topic when members of the school committee held their monthly meeting Monday night at the Woodcock School Administration Building.

While it is uncertain if the high school’s football team will be opening up their 2022 season at the Beaupre Field, there WILL be a new head coach.

Donnie Johnson announced last month that he was stepping down after 39 years on the sideline, the last 13 as the Red Rocketeers’ head coach.

School committee chairman Ethan Hamilton, a former Red Rocketeer standout, asked superintendent Dr. John Antonucci about the process for hiring a new head coach.
