The first day of August means only one thing—football season is right around the corner!  Enthusiasm and excitement are building for the 2011 edition of Massachusetts Maritime Football, as Head Coach Jeremy Cameron’s Buccaneers return over 50 letterwinners and 15 starters from a squad that posted the program’s highest win total in 10 seasons last fall, including a 23-7 Cranberry Bowl victory over rival Bridgewater State to end the year as well as 23-16 triumph over rival Coast Guard last September.

Cameron’s crew will play a nine-game schedule during the 2011 season, which begins on Saturday, September 10^th when Massachusetts Maritime hosts Western New England in a non-league clash at Clean Harbors Stadium that kicks off at Noon.  The Buccaneers will be along the banks of the Cape Cod Canal for four of their first five contests this fall, including a Homecoming date with MIT on Saturday, September 17^th as well as New England Football Conference Bogan Division match-ups with Framingham State (Saturday, October 1^st) and Worcester State (Saturday, October 8^th).
