In its first six games of the season, the Barrington Pop Warner 14U football team has outscored its opponents 144-26, en route to a 6-0 record.

Barrington Head Coach Ty Paup said the team has shown great resilience, discipline and heart. He said the Eagles have also done a great job handling the adversity that a season can often present. 

“Every week, we preach the importance of execution, staying humble, and understanding the task at hand. We’re not just focused on winning each game, but on getting better as a complete team — offensively, defensively, and on special teams,” Paup said. 

The disciplined approach has yielded success. Barrington has defeated East Bay, Portsmouth, Dartmouth, Old Rochester, and New Bedford. In fact the Eagles shut out Portsmouth and Dartmouth and knocked off New Bedford twice. 

“Our offensive line deserves a ton of credit,” Paup said. “They’ve been the anchor, giving our backs and quarterbacks the protection they need to make the big plays. The way they’ve dominated in the trenches has really opened up the game for our skill positions. The running backs have played unbelievable, have shown great vision and toughness, and our quarterbacks have been smart, making plays when we need them the most. We’ve been able to bring a firestorm offensively, and it’s all because we’re executing together as one unit.”

The Barrington defense has also played great, allowing their opponents to score just four touchdowns through the first six games. 

“Our defense has been fierce. They’ve embraced a mentality of swarming to the ball and playing with relentless energy,” Paup said. “The turnovers have been huge for us, and that’s a testament to the pressure we’re creating up front and the awareness of our secondary. They’ve really stepped up in key moments. We always talk about playing with discipline and aggression, and they’ve delivered.”

The Eagles aim to continue their hard-working approach as they lead toward the postseason. 

“Our message is stay humble and keep executing,” said Paup. “We’ve had a great start, but we can’t let that get to our heads. Our focus is always on the next game and getting better every day. It’s about understanding that we haven’t accomplished the ultimate goal yet. I remind the guys constantly that it takes a full team effort, every practice and every play. We’re in this together, and that’s how we’ll continue to succeed every yard. Every play.”

Paup also praised the work of the coaching staff, which includes Pete Romano, Bill Hanley, Dave Currie and Dave Jewell.
