Assabet will be in the crosshairs.Byline: Bill Marsh MARLBORO Marlboro or Marlborough (märl`bərō), city (1990 pop. 31,813), Middlesex co., E Mass.; settled on the site of a Native American village 1657, inc. as a city 1890. - Every high school football team's ultimate goal is to win a Super Bowl. Assabet Valley Regional did just that last year, defeating Easthampton 24-16 to capture the Division 3A Super Bowl. In order to advance to the bowl last December, Assabet beat Groton-Dunstable in a semifinal playoff game Noun 1. playoff game - one game in the series of games constituting a playoff game - a single play of a sport or other contest; "the game lasted two hours" playoff - any final competition to determine a championship . The Aztecs finished the 2008 season with an 11-2 overall record. It was the first time in 25 years that Assabet had won a Super Bowl. Prior to last season, the last time the Aztecs experienced victory at a Super Bowl was in 1983 when they defeated Northbridge 21-20 under legendary Aztec coach Gerry Pastner. Last year was a super season for the Aztecs and coach Rob McCann, who is in his sixth year as head coach and ninth year with the program. McCann, who has guided his team to the postseason in three of the last five years, is looking forward to another good season on the gridiron. "Like anything else in life, it is hard to repeat," McCann said. "We are circled (on the schedule) as the team to beat by every other team. "Other teams will be trying to knock us off, but all we can do is take one game at a time," he said.

Alvarez was named the Division 3 East Most Valuable Player on offense last year. "He (Alvarez) can run," McCann said. "We'll be looking to get him the ball." In order to have an effective running game, a football team must have a strong offensive line. Three key members of the line this season are seniors Andy Kurtzonkowski and Shawn Tollis, of Clinton, and senior Marlon Batista, of Sterling, who was a Division 3 East all-star last season. Kurtzonkowski is the center, while Tollis will see action at tackle. Batista is the starting right tackle. `He (Kurtzonkowski) took a year off, but we are happy he is back," McCann said. "He can really help us out this year. "He (Tollis) is a good offensive tackle, and he should be a big help too," he said. "Right now, he is a backup tackle, but he has been progressing every day."
