Presenting high school football awards: The K&J Sports Show Ep. 15
Hosts Jason Snow and Chris McDaniel give a final send-off to the 2023 high school football season.
The Carver High football team will have a new head coach this fall.
Ben Shuffain announced his resignation from the position on X on Monday after two seasons leading the Crusaders, the latest featured the team’s first winning season since 2015 and a Division 8 Super Bowl appearance.
“I have resigned as Head Football Coach of Carver,” Shuffain wrote in his social media post. “I wish the coaches and players years of continued success.”
A formal announcement from the school is expected on Wednesday. Shuffain could not immediately be reached for further comment.
Bouncing back after a 3-8 season in 2022, Carver went undefeated against league competition this fall and earned its first South Shore League Tobin Division crown since 2000. Led by the school’s all-time leading passer, Tyler Lennox, a UMass Dartmouth commit, the offense posted 40-plus points in 10 of 12 games (excluding a 56-0 loss to Middleboro on Thanksgiving in which the starters rested ahead of the Super Bowl).
Shuffain was named the New England Patriots Coach of the Week in October after Carver’s 42-39 overtime win over Cohasset, a thriller that snapped a 17-year losing skid against the rival Skippers.
The Crusaders finished the season with a 41-7 loss to top-seeded West Boylston in the Div. 8 Super Bowl at Gillette Stadium in December.
Shuffain doubles as the Crusaders’ baseball coach, a position he took over this spring, and has been a teacher at the school since taking control of the football program in 2022.
