A fond farewell to the Vermont Academy football program. I’m surprised my horrible defensive tackle play (shown above in the middle in white, getting completely blocked out of the play  by #68) didn’t cause the demise sooner. I didn’t do the Wildcat football tradition any justice, but always sad to see the end of a team with history going back to the early 1900’s.

All of us here at Vermont Academy are proud of our storied football history. We will always cherish that very special tradition and honor alumni who played on those great teams. Vermont Academy has been blessed with great coaches – such as John Lucy, Bob Harrington and others – and players over the years, but like all individuals and institutions that look to grow and develop, we have to make this decision at this time.
