Plymouth Regional’s Kyle McAuliffe received a giant bear hug from the football program’s biggest Bobcat, head coach Chuck Lenahan, during yesterday’s New Hampshire Union Leader Parade of Champions.
The reason Lenahan wrapped up the senior standout inside the Event Center at C.R. Sparks in Bedford: McAuliffe, 18, won the statewide newspaper’s prestigious Robert A. “Red” Rolfe Male Athlete of the Year Award.
“I’m pretty proud of him. That’s for sure,” Lenahan said. “He’s an outstanding young guy.”
Visibly stunned while stepping to the podium, the modest McAuliffe told the 261 attendees that he owed his success “to my parents and all my coaches, (in) every sport. Without them, there’s no way I’d be here.”
McAuliffe was eligible for Male Athlete of the Year honors because he won the November (2009) Athlete of the Month Award for his powerful postseason on the high school gridiron.
But it was his 12-month resume — which included impressive statistics playing varsity basketball last winter, and doubling up to play varsity baseball and boys’ lacrosse last spring — that helped him outlast seven other Male Athletes of the Month to secure Male AoY honors.
Here are McAuliffe’s 2009 statistics playing four varsity sports:
– As a guard for the boys’ basketball team, he averaged five points, four rebounds and two steals in 13 minutes. He was also the defensive stopper, providing aggressive play as the point man in the team’s 1-3-1 full-court press, which forced many turnovers.
– In baseball, as a middle- and late-relief pitcher, he went 3-2 and allowed 11 hits in 23 1/3 innings pitched. He struck out 31 batters and walked six. As an outfielder, he hit .308 and connected for two game-winning, seventh-inning hits.
– In lacrosse, he scored a team-leading 26 goals as an attackman. He also posted five assists to rank second on the team in points with 31.
– This fall, he led the Bobcats to an 11-0 record, unprecedented fifth straight state title, nation-best 55-game win streak, and No. 4 ranking in the final Union Leader/WGAM/WMUR Power Poll.
As a running back, he rushed for a program-record 1,738 yards on 172 carries (10.1-yard average) to smash the previous mark, established in 1996, by 448 yards. He scored 20 touchdowns. As a linebacker, he had 64 tackles, 61 assisted tackles, six quarterback sacks, six blocked passes and three fumble recoveries.
Yet for all the eye-popping statistics, McAuliffe’s greatest contribution (and strength) is leadership, Lenahan said.
So, where does Lenahan, a Plymouth fixture for nearly four decades, rank McAuliffe among Plymouth’s all-time leaders?
The coach was hesitant to engage in the exercise. But he did say this:
“He’s as good as any,” Lenahan said. “He doesn’t have to take a back seat to anyone.”

Sports Radio WGAM “The Game” (1250-AM Manchester, 900-AM Nashua) had its eighth annual Friday Night Lights “Mr. Football” award ceremony last night, Wednesday, Dec. 9, at the Hilton Garden Inn in Manchester.
This year’s winner: Souhegan of Amherst senior Steven Jellison.
Here’s a portion of the press release from on-air personality Mike Mutnansky, one of the six voters in the Union Leader/WGAM/WMUR Power Poll.
Jellison was the the leading vote-getter in both the first and final rounds of voting for the award. His 31 touchdowns and ferocious play on defense garnered attention from coaches, players and media all season as the Sabers won another Division III championship.
Previous Mr. Football winners include:
2002: Jeff Farrington (Souhegan)
2003: Mike Boyle (Plymouth)
2004: David Philistin (Manchester Central)
2005: John Sughrue (Pinkerton Academy of Derry)
2006: Mark Spinney (Bishop Guertin)
2007: Alex Theodhosi (Londonderry)
2008: David Zocco (Nashua South)

It’s mighty difficult to bring silence to a room filled with football coaches. But that’s just what happened — for a brief moment — last night at Sweeney Post 2 in Manchester.
When Plymouth Regional was recognized for winning its 18th state title, and unprecedented fifth in a row, during the “Jeff Francoeur Coaches’ Huddle,” the program’s current 55-game win streak was mentioned. And it was clear many coaches were unaware the Bobcats now boast the nation’s longest active win streak in 11-man high school football.
As I wrote for the New Hampshire Union Leader today (Friday, Dec. 4), this is according to PrepNation.com, whose weekly National Prep Poll has been distributed by the Associated Press for a decade.
Plymouth vaulted to the top of the list because Smith Center, Kan., lost the Class 2-1A title game on Nov. 28. The Redmen entered the game with a 79-game win streak. They lost to Centralia/Wetmore, 20-12.
“We’ll start off (next season) as we always do. Our goal will be to make the playoffs, improve every week, and go from there,” Plymouth head coach Chuck Lenahan said at last night’s season-ending event of the Joe Yukica New Hampshire Chapter of the National Football Foundation. “We’re not going to let (the streak) dominate us. It really isn’t the most important thing. It’s nice to have, believe me. But I’m sure the other teams … can’t wait (to play Plymouth).”
According to PrepNation.com founder and editor Jamie DeMoney, these are the top five longest active win streaks in the country:
1. Plymouth Regional — 55
2. Reidsville (North Carolina) — 45
3. Lake Travis (Texas) — 43
4. Solon (Iowa) — 41
5. Peoria Centennial (Arizona) — 39
De La Salle High School in Concord, Calif., owns the national record for longest win streak, according to this Nov. 23 Associated Press story . The program won 151 consecutive games from 1992-2003.

Sports Radio WGAM “The Game” (1250-AM Manchester, 900-AM Nashua) announced today (Friday, Dec. 4) that its eighth annual Friday Night Lights “Mr. Football” award ceremony will take place Wednesday, Dec. 9 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Manchester. The ceremony starts at 5 p.m.
The award recipient is determined by votes of WGAM’s Friday Night Light’s staff and other members of the New Hampshire media, myself included.
This year’s finalists will be featured on “The Home Team,” WGAM’s local afternoon talk show, which will broadcast live from the Hilton Garden between 5 and 6 p.m. on Dec. 9.
The 2009 finalists, in alphabetical order, are:
Mike Cavanaugh (Div. I Man. Central) — senior RB/DB
Max Jacques (Div. I Salem) — junior RB/DB
Steven Jellison (Div. III Souhegan of Amherst) — senior RB/LB
Kyle McAuliffe (Div. IV Plymouth) — senior RB/LB
Andre Williams (Div. I Nashua North) — junior RB/DB
Previous Mr. Football winners include:
2002: Jeff Farrington (Souhegan)
2003: Mike Boyle (Plymouth)
2004: David Philistin (Manchester Central)
2005: John Sughrue (Pinkerton Academy of Derry)
2006: Mark Spinney (Bishop Guertin)
2007: Alex Theodhosi (Londonderry)
2008: David Zocco (Nashua South)
Also, the process of putting together the 2009 New Hampshire Union Leader All-State football team is under way. Later this month, you’ll find the selections for the Granite State’s top high school football players — taking into consideration athletes from all six divisions — in print.
Fifty-seven teams fielded varsity squads this season. Make no mistake. As postseason awards go, for my money, there’s nothing tougher than securing a spot on this true all-star team.
And, of course, the All-State roster will include the 2009 Player and Coach of the Year.
Who makes the cut?
