Boston Independents

Boston Independents:

The Boston Football Club has been around since 1915 when the NEFC originally came together. Since then they have become one of the most successful teams in the Atlantic. They won 16 of the 30 championships in the NEFC in its history. After a stretch of 7 in a row, the club decided to try and go to a better league and they became an independent club. This lasted 7 years, but when WWII came up the team returned to the NEFC for stability and won several more championships. While the club was always just known as Boston Football Club, they were nicknamed the “independents” during their time as an independent club. With the merger into the NAAF, the club officially deemed its team name the Boston Independents. They play at Richardson Stadium which holds 46,245 in which they have full rights.  

The current owner of the Independents is Glen Harris, who purchased the club in 1919. His leadership and ambition were a major factor as to why the team went independent. He has always been looking for a bigger and more competitive competition to be a part of and the NAAF was intriguing to him. Harris became a major factor for the entire NEFC to join the NAAF.  

The Independents are easily the best team in the NAAF. They hold the best Offence and second-best defence. They are led by QB Larry Larson, who is the best in the league. Alongside him are offensive weapons RB Joel Bonner, and WRs Ethan Walters and Samuel Floyd. They also have a strong O-line led by C Malachi Knowles. Safety Michael O’Brian leads the defence with other well-rounded players like LB Carlos Bennet and DL Jon Lewis. The coach is longtime Head Coach Peter McDuffin. One of the best coaches in the league, McDuffin, is an aggressive and competitive coach that loves to win. It’s a good thing he’s good at it. McDuffin has a lot of confidence heading into the first season of the NAAF.
