One last time to shine for Agganis athletes<br />
By Anne Marie Tobin<br />
With the summer season officially<br />
underway, that means only<br />
one thing to some 800 recently-graduated<br />
student-athletes;<br />
it’s time for the annual Agganis<br />
Games, and one final time to play<br />
at the high school level.<br />
This year’s games begin<br />
Sunday morning at Manning<br />
Field in Lynn with the Awards<br />
ceremony at 10, at which time<br />
this year’s Agganis scholars and<br />
Hall of Fame honorees will be<br />
recognized and the participating<br />
athletes will be announced.<br />
The Agganis All-Star Classics<br />
are a sports lover’s delight featuring<br />
some of the region’s best<br />
athletes who will compete in<br />
baseball, basketball, lacrosse,<br />
soccer, softball and, of course, the<br />
granddaddy of them all, football.<br />
For its first 40 years, the<br />
Agganis Football Classic was<br />
the primary fundraiser for the<br />
Agganis Foundation. In 1995, the<br />
Foundation began branching out<br />
into other sports when baseball<br />
was added. It was an appropriate<br />
new addition, considering Harry<br />
Agganis was a first baseman for<br />
the Boston Red Sox. Agganis<br />
starred in football and baseball<br />
at Lynn Classical and Boston<br />
University. He died at the age of<br />
26 in 1955.<br />
The Agganis Games now includes<br />
nine all-star games, jampacked<br />
into a five-day stretch.<br />
But the Agganis All-Star<br />
Classics are more than just<br />
games; they are the major fundraising<br />
vehicle for the Agganis<br />
Foundation’s scholarship pro-<br />
We are proud to offer treatment options<br />
tailored specifically to you and your teeth<br />
in the most comprehensive, caring and<br />
relaxed setting. Come explore and build<br />
your healthy beautiful smile with us.<br />
