Cassell's Corner

Lincoln-Sudbury football coach Tom Lopez and junior quarterback Braden O'Connell join host Tommy Cassell for this episode. The team is preparing to make their first Super Bowl appearance since 2011. “It’s a game the players are never going to forget,” Lopez told Cassell. L-S is 11-0 after a win over Newton South on Thanksgiving Day. They will be playing 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 1, in the Division 2 Super Bowl against King Philip at Gillette Stadium. Behind O'Connell, a first-year starter at QB, and Lopez, the 40-year coach for the Warriors, the L-S offense has scored a total of 468 points this season – with a whooping 77 points coming against a regular season win over Cambridge Rindge & Latin. Lopez was a longtime assistant principal at a middle school in Sudbury and O'Connell also plays lacrosse for the three-time defending L-S boys lacrosse team.
