Winning a high school football championship is great, but winning one on an NFL turf takes things to another level.
Wednesday through Friday, eight Massachusetts high school football teams will get to hoist a Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association Super Bowl trophy in Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots.
This marks the 14th year that Gillette Stadium will host the MIAA championship games. It’s the fourth time that all state championship games will be played in Foxborough.
The Super Bowls, as they are known in Massachusetts, drop the curtain on the 2021 season. The 16 participating schools and their fans will be treated to an NFL-caliber game presentation with music and replays on Gillette’s high-definition video boards.

Last week, the Patriots hosted their annual MIAA Football State Championships breakfast with captains, coaches, and administrators from each of the teams.
One of the highlights at the breakfast was a talk by Pro Football Hall-of-Famer Andre Tippett, who currently is part of the Patriots’ front office.
