FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – After starting off the season with a 3-0 record, Randolph Blue Devils Head Coach Jon Marshall and his team showed grit and continued their perfect streak with a 27-14 win against Mashpee. As a testament to his team's success to begin the year, Coach Marshall has been named the New England Patriots Coach of the Week.
Randolph dominated in the trenches, a pride that Coach Marshall has instilled in his program. Explosive runs littered the game, with senior running back Mekhi White scoring a 53-yard touchdown and senior Alin Norisca adding in a 34-yard touchdown on the ground as well. Overall, the team gained over 250 rushing yards on the ground and scored four times in a complete game running the ball.
NFL Hall of Fame linebacker Andre Tippett, who presently holds the role of Executive Director of Community Affairs for the New England Patriots, had a meeting with the Blue Devils on Tuesday at Randolph High School. During the meeting, he presented a generous donation of $1,000 to the football program on behalf of the Kraft family and the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation. The acknowledgment pays homage to Coach Marshall's commitment to the development of the next generation.
"Coach Marshall and the Blue Devils proved that history doesn't dictate destiny," said Tippett. "After four straight losses to Mashpee, they came together, stayed the course and earned a 27–14 win that spoke volumes about belief, preparation and pride in Randolph football."
The visit and donation presentation will be showcased on the Patriots' weekly television program, "Patriots All Access." You can catch the episode on Friday night at 7 p.m. on WBZ-TV in Boston, and it will also be available for immediate viewing on Patriots.com. The acknowledgment and support underscore the Patriots' dedication to community engagement and the recognition of exceptional individuals, exemplified by Coach Marshall.
This is the 30th year in which the Patriots have joined the National Football League in conducting the High School Coach of the Week program, which recognizes outstanding high school coaches and promotes youth football throughout New England. The 2025 season marks the 15th year that Tippett has taken the award on the road to visit the schools that benefit from the program. At the conclusion of the fall, one of the weekly winners will be named the New England Patriots High School Coach of the Year and will receive an additional $2,000 contribution towards the school's football program.
