FOXBOROUGH – Regardless of what happened Saturday, Marblehead coach Jim Rudloff couldn’t be prouder of his players – not just for what they accomplished in 2009, but overall in their careers with the Magicians.”This group of kids,” said Rudloff, after the team’s 12-6 loss to Bishop Feehan Saturday in the Division 3 Super Bowl, “should have their names enshrined in Marblehead.”Just think about what they accomplished, and how much they had to persevere,” he said. “They went all through youth football watching a team that didn’t have successful records. Then, they had to listen to all the talk questioning the toughness of the program.”Here, they had to deal with all the uncertainty of the coaching situations, including what happened with (Doug) Chernovetz (who was fired amid controversy at the end of last season),” he said.”It made them stronger,” Rudloff said. “These kids banded together and made all this (a Northeastern Conference/South championship and a trip to the Super Bowl) happen.”Nowhere was that more evident than with the two captains – linebackers Matt Evans and Evan Comeau.”That’s one thing I think we can be proud of,” said Evans, who along with Comeau and quarterback Hayes Richardson, were the inspirational leaders of the team that stormed up the field with time running out to beat Swampscott on Thanksgiving.”We all came together,” he said. “And it’s a real good feeling to be able to say we were a part of what turned Marblehead football around.”Comeau agreed.”But I don’t think it was just us,” he said. “It was everybody on the team.”Comeau feels that the tumult of the previous two years with the Chernovetz situation made the Magicians tougher.”We just all came together,” he said. “We were really unified team, and everyone did his part.”It really was a great season,” he said, “and it was great to be a part of it. I just wish we’d won one more game to make it complete. It was only a matter of a couple of plays. That was all.”When Evans and Comeau were sophomores, Chernovetz was taken to court by a family that accused him of harassing their son in the high school. During their junior year – the year the program began its turnaround – they had to withstand he suspension of two key players for a Thanksgiving Day game that would have given them, had they won, a league championship.This year, with no distractions, they were fortunate enough to be in the same position on Thanksgiving, and this time, they won – thanks to a pass in the last two minutes from Richardson to receiver Alex Haigis. Then, the defense – which proved to be the backbone of the Magicians all year – had to withstand a furious Swampscott rush up field before being able to claim victory.Now, says Rudloff, it’s up to the people Comeau, Richardson and Evans leave behind, to pick up the mantle.”It’s up to them,” Rudloff said. “What we can’t have are kids who come to Marblehead High and just assume that if they play here, they’re going to go to a Super Bowl. They’re going to have to work the way these kids worked.”Rudloff feels it’s possible that the future for Marblehead football can remain bright.”Our youth program is strong – one of the biggest in the Cape Ann League,” he said. “And I hope, for example, that a lot of kids went to the field these last two seasons, saw Hayes Richardson, and decided that they wanted to play quarterback for Marblehead High. As the coach – and I admit for selfish reasons – I’d like that.”
