Suozzo, Laham, Bellmont Named to All-New England Team

BOSTON, MA – James Suozzo (Everett, MA), Chris Laham (Westwood, MA) and David Bellmont (Melrose, MA) were named to the 2009 New England Football Writers Division II/III All-New England Team.

All three were also Northeast-10 All-Conference first team selections in 2009, leading Merrimack to a share of the 2009 Northeast-10 Championship.

Suozzo, the Northeast-10 Most Valuable Player, anchored an offense ranked sixth in the nation, tops in the region with 23 passing touchdowns and 15 rushing scores. He averaged 325.1 total yards per game, tops in the league and rushed for 95.4 yards per game, third in the league and tops among quarterbacks. A two-time Northeast-10 Player of the Week, Suozzo also received the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston Gold Helmet award as the top Division II/III player in New England following a 42-21 win over Stonehill.

Laham, now a two-time all-conference and all-New England honoree, totaled 92.0 receiving yards per game and 13 touchdowns to lead the conference. He graduates as the all-time school leader in touchdowns (38), points (228), receiving touchdowns (36), and receiving yards (2,411).

Bellmont, a Preseason All-American by Consensus Draft Services, anchored an offensive line that allowed a league-low 11 sacks. Now a two-time all-conference honoree as a junior, Bellmont paved the way for Merrimack’s top-ranked offense.

Merrimack had three of the 12 players from the Northeast-10 selected.

The team will be honored at the New England Football Writers Banquet on December 10 at Casa di Fior in Wilmington.
