Former Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School assistant football coach Neil Estrella died early Wednesday morning after a two-year battle with pancreatic cancer. Head Football Coach Don Herman, who coached the 1991 state championship team with Estrella as a player on that team, and coached with Estrella from 2009 to 2013, wrote The Times that “in true Neil fashion, he fought to the very end.”
Coach Herman, football alumni, and the Touchdown Club will be selling $20 T shirts at all remaining home games, as well as on the ferry to the Island Cup, to raise money for a college fund for Estrella’s three children. The shirts, designed by Marisa Estrella, Neil’s sister, were donated by Derek Hull of Inkwell Clothing Company. All proceeds from the shirts will go to his family.
The MVRHS football team play Cape Cod Tech on Friday at their home field in Oak Bluffs.
Neil played on the 91 championship team. Sentence needs fixing. It appears to read the Donald Her an played on the 1991 team.
Thanks. We’ll get that fixed.
How can we order shirts from off island
