David Wade, a 17-year-old senior at Stoughton High and lineman on the SHS football team, died after being shot on Saturday, Sept. 29. The Black Knights capped an emotional week with a 20-0 win over Foxborough High School Friday night in Stoughton.
As Stoughton High football senior captains Mike Connelly, Adam Leonard, Andrew Kelly and Aaron Mack made their way to midfield for the coin toss prior to the start of Friday's home game against Foxborough, Leonard and Kelly held a black #56 jersey, belonging to classmate David Wade, a lineman on the team who tragically died last Saturday.
