A note from the Zonghetti family
Matthew Zonghetti Memorial
....
KINDNESS, GOODNESS, THOUGHTFULNESS. Last night (9/28/2020), to continue to honor Matt's legacy, a beautiful bench, overlooking Alumni Field, was installed.
Jane Maher, with the help of Mike Redding, Mary Watkins and Michael Trowbridge led the charge to gain approval for the bench.
MHS's Physical Education department brought the bench to its location and Chris Colby with the help of his family installed the concrete pad and the bench.
The bench is perfect. The location is perfect. Matt is proud.
Thank you to those mentioned above and to so many of you who helped to fund the bench.
We say it so often.... we live in such an incredible and caring town whose residents continue to support us by keeping Matt's memory alive. #LiveLikeZ

Be enthusiastic role models for younger student athletes by example.
Become involved in school and community activities.
Volunteer your time to help others who are less able or less fortunate.

Leadership Training
The Mansfield coaching staff runs a leadership training seminar once a month for members of the football team.
During these sessions a verity of subjects are covered:
1-Goal setting (Personal life goals, scholastic goals and athletic goals)
2-Handling problem social situations.
3-Involvement in community activities.
4-Honoring the traditions established by their predecessors.
5-Proper nutrition/healthy lifestyles.
6-Team building activities.
These and many other subjects are discussed. Attendance is voluntary.
The object of these seminars is to help make the students a more responsible member of the school and community at large.
The coaching staff believes that it is our responsibility to engage these student athletes in a leadership curriculum. We believe that our student athletes are members of the community first and football players second.
By developing the character of our players we believe they will become life-long contributing members of the community.
