Missing from the photo is Danny Shea. By Dom Nicastro T he Saugus High School football team has simply made great inroads this season. A team that won a combined one game the last two seasons won five this season with one to go — Thanksgiving Day at Peabody (10 a.m.). The Sachems are 5-5. Beating Peabody, a Division 2 postseason team that is 9-1 coming into the game, would surely make their season. The Saugus Advocate caught up with each captain of the Saugus football team and shared the following questions. Below are their responses: Advocate questions: 1. Tell me about your personal season and how you feel you’ve contributed this year. 2. To what do you attribute this dramatic turnaround this season, going from one win the last two seasons to five this year? 3. What has it meant to you to be a captain and what is your advice to next year’s captains?
