Leominster High School - Athletics

Athletics

Leominster High School is a participant in Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association. The varsity football squad represented Central Massachusetts in the Division 1 Super Bowl in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2011 and 2012 losing the first three games to the Lancers of Longmeadow, they however beat Saint Johns Prep in 2011 ending off the season with a 1 game winning streak . The football team also participates yearly in the Thanksgiving Day Game against Fitchburg. This annual rivalry is the second oldest high school Thanksgiving rivalry in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Thanksgiving high school rivalry of Wellsey & Needham being older by two years. Doyle Field, the school's sports complex located in downtown Leominster, underwent a major renovation from 2005-2006.

In addition to football, the school offers cross country, girls field hockey, girls and boys soccer, volleyball, girls and boys basketball, ice hockey, girls and boys swimming, indoor track, outdoor track, girls and boys lacrosse, girls and boys tennis, softball, and baseball. Leominster High also is the home to the Marching Blue Devils.

Most of Leominster's athletic teams play their home games at the high school itself or at the Doyle Field complex. The ice hockey team plays its home games in neighboring Fitchburg at the Wallace Civic Center.

Recent renovations have occurred at Doyle Field. The track is not being resurfaced and will be torn up in the next few years. This will leave the Leominster High School track team, which already cannot have home meets because of the poor condition of the track, without a practice track.

The athletic director of Leominster High School is Christopher Young, who took over the program in 2000 after teaching history at Northwest Middle School
