As the historian for the HOWE/BMHS football team, I can tell you, what won it for Billerica that year was the fact that THREE of the nine games were against Class C teams. St. Charles (Waltham) now closed, Lexington and Maynard. Billerica (Howe) went 9-0-0 that year beating St. Charles (13-0); Dracut (27-0); Somerville Voke/Trade (27-0); Lexington (13-6); Fairhaven (39-20); Tewskbury (26-0); Maynard (14-6); Ayer (14-6) and CHELMSFORD (19-0).
