Cappuccio selected to Boston Herald Preseason Eastern Mass All-Star Team

By Cary Shuman

Winthrop High senior running back Nick Cappuccio has been selected to the Boston Herald Preseason Eastern Mass. All-Star Team.

Cappuccio received recognition to the Second Team Offense meaning that Boston Herald high school sportswriter Danny Ventura and his staff regard Cappuccio as one of the top five running backs in eastern Massachusetts.

Cappuccio rushed for 982 yards and scored 19 touchdowns last season. He was a Boston Herald and Boston Globe All-Scholastic selection. During the spring track season, Cappuccio was the Division 5 state champion in the 100 meters, 200 meters, and long jump.

“Nick is a tremendous player, and this is a well-deserved honor,” said Winthrop head football coach Jon Cadigan. “I’m happy for him, but excited for his senior year. He’s growing into a leadership role on our team, and I think he’s going to take his game to another level this year.”

A three-year starter, Cappuccio is a candidate for one of the captain’s positions for the Vikings. Cadigan said he will announce the captains before the annual Blue and Gold Scrimmage.
