And the winner is ...

New Hampshire's Mr. Football for the 2007 season will be announced Thursday night during a banquet at the Hilton Garden Inn in Manchester. The announcement has been postponed twice because of bad weather and poor traveling conditions.

This year's finalists are Nashua South's Bill Ferriter, Pinkerton Academy's Josh Lane, Exeter's Brett McAllister, Londonderry's Alex Theodhosi and Pelham's Bruce Vieira.

The award is sponsored by WGAM (AM-1250 and AM-900) and WSMN (AM-1590). Each finalist has been scheduled for an interview that will air on those stations from 5 to 6 p.m. The Ferriter and Lane interviews will be conducted during the first segment, McAllister and Theodhosi will be interviewed during the second segment and Vieira's interview will be part of the third segment.

Voting for the award was conducted by New Hampshire media members.

Past Mr. Football winners are Jeff Farrington (Souhegan), Mike Boyle (Plymouth), Dave Philistin (Manchester Central), John Shurgrue (Pinkerton Academy) and Mark Spinney (Bishop Guertin).

New Hampshire Football Report will have a story on this 2007 winner shortly after 6 p.m.
