Ashland High School Football Looks Ahead After Record‑Breaking 2025 Campaign

Twenty‑one seniors paved the way for a deep playoff run, and the 2026 slate promises more MetroWest showdowns

A season defined by senior leadership

The 2025 campaign will be remembered for its nine victories and a run to the Division 4 quarterfinal, achievements that were powered by a senior‑heavy roster of twenty‑one players, seven of whom earned Tri‑Valley League All‑Star honors. Among them, running back Kevin Ozulumba set new school records for rushing yards, while lineman/linebacker Patrick St. Peter contributed heavily on both sides of the ball.

2026 schedule leans heavily on local rivals

The upcoming season opens with a home matchup against Westborough on September 11, followed by a road test at Wayland a week later. October brings a trio of home games against Algonquin, Medfield and the league opener versus Holliston, after which the team will embark on three consecutive home contests before league play intensifies. The traditional Thanksgiving contest against Hopkinton is slated for November 26, rounding out a schedule that keeps travel within the MetroWest and greater Milford region.

With the senior core having moved on, the junior class now steps into the spotlight, tasked with preserving the program’s recent momentum. Coaches expect the younger players to build on the foundation laid by the 2025 seniors, delivering another competitive season anchored by familiar local opponents.
