BROCKTON--Save Our Sports, a non-profit organization that supports Brockton schools sports program, will host a " Night of Champions II," Saturday, Jan. 15 with this year's celebration highlighting the Brockton High School 1970 football team that went 9-0 for the season and the first year Coach Armond Colombo took over the team and began an era of Boxers' success.
Brockton High Athletic Director Thomas Kenney said attendees will be in for a treat during the night when the group unveils the first showing of a DVD presentation made from old 16mm film Coach Colombo took that depicts opening activities at the high school in 1970.
"It really takes you right back to that time. I've watched it three or four times now," Kenney said.
When the 1970 football team went undefeated, Kenney said, there was no high school Super Bowl, but when it was enacted in 1972, the team was unstoppable.
"Brockton won the first two Super Bowls," Kenney said.
The event takes place this Saturday, Jan. 15 at Joe Angelo's Cafe beginning at 6 p.m.
There will be a buffet and all who attend will receive a DVD copy of the commemorative video as a souvenir.
Tickets are $20 and can be purchased in advance by calling 508-580-7540 or they can be purchased at the door.
