Iconic clip from our 1976 State Championship.

Played in the snow at Crisafi Field.

Steve Curtin 92 yards to the house.

Steve would go on to star at Brown & play for the Oakland Raiders.

Daniel Hand is one of the most accomplished small-town football programs in the country.

Since 1970:
- 76% win rate
- 30 league titles
- 15 state championships

The Tigers went 12-1 last season, won state title No. 15, and now look to kick off 2026 with a big out-of-state matchup vs defending Division 1 Champion Bishop Hendrickson (RI)
