Kessaris, Dick Batchelder, and Bob Carr, have spent many hours researching, and organizing

This is a great book for fans of local schoolboy football and a great resource to end
arguments regarding scores and "who was on which team in which year, etc."
Images of team members and coaches spanning more than 100 years.
"About 1873, only eight years after the
Civil War, the seed was planted that would eventually grow into the first football team in
the history of Beverly High School... and, as they say, the rest is history."

The book contains pictures of all the teams from
the 1900 season to the 1999 season, (except 1918, no season due to WWI) plus the names and
images of most of the players, the coaches, action shots, team scores, the season records,
and much, much more. All Beverly High School attendees will find photos of friends
or relatives in this great new book. A great trip down memory lane and a great gift
for all former Beverly High School alumni.
