The Blue Raiders, who have come a long way since the beginning of the season, are primed for an upset against Dedham The Blue Raiders are coached by Roger Smith, Bob DeFlaminis, and Tony Grinavic. The team uses a straight “T” attack with several variations. The attack is built around Gerry McTer-nany and David Thomas and both of these backs can expect to show the fans plenty of hard running.
Tony Sederwicz can be expected to give the Dedham secondary trouble all afternoon.
The Dedham Bearcats “B” team is coached by John Dillon, Buster Wier and Joe Sears. They use a “T” attack. The Bearcats, the top team of the “B” team league, are currently one game ahead of the Blue Raiders. So both teams will be shooting for top spot.
The Bearcats are one of three “B” teams of the fine Dedham Pop Warner program, where over 120 boys play football.
The Norwood “B” attack is built around B. Moan, C. Kelly, F. Ravens, E Kelly, and J. Lawrie, while the quarterback duties are shared by J. Curran and T. Gugliotta. The defense has featured a strong forward wall with W. Denzer, K. Cavanaugh, P. Nolan, and B. Anderson stopping many an opposing back.
