With nearly 60 letterwinners and 14 starters returning from the most successful season in 11 years, enthusiasm is running high for the 2012 edition of Massachusetts Maritime Football.  Head Coach Jeremy Cameron enters his seventh campaign in Buzzards Bay after notching 10 victories over the last two seasons combined, and the Buccaneers are ready to tackle a nine-game schedule during their final year in the New England Football Conference.

The Bucs will play three of their final four regular season games alongside Cape Cod Canal, including a Homecoming date with Fitchburg State on Saturday, October 13^th and a league affair with Westfield State on Saturday, October 27^th that sandwiches their final road trip of the year, a visit to Maine Maritime for the 40^th Annual Admiral’s Cup.  Massachusetts Maritime closes out the 2012 regular season on Saturday, November 3^rd by entertaining Bridgewater State in the 34^th Annual Cranberry Bowl Presented By Ocean Spray, and the Bogan Division champion will host the NEFC Championship game on Saturday, November 10^th.
