Boston Globe North: "Former Fenwick star Bobby Tarr left heart and soul on field at Bentley"
Jason Mastrodonato, a sports correspondent for the Boston Globe North, wrote about Bentley running back Bobby Tarr, the 2012 recipient of the Nason Award for Senior Achievement from the New England Football Writers. Here's his article, which appeared in the Dec. 9 edition of the Boston Globe North section and online at www.boston.com.
Former Fenwick star receivesNason Award for 'hips and heart'
Bobby Tarr left Bishop Fenwick High as the third-leading rusher in state history. He will depart Bentley University as the program's fifth-leading rusher.
Two things made Tarr really special: hips and heart.
His hips: "Very fluid," said Bentley football coach Thom Boerman . "He's a slasher kind of back. He'll find the seam. He can move in a sliver as well as anybody. Slow to the hole, bursts through the hole — that's what he was."
His heart: "He had a huge game one Friday night," said Sean Walsh , who coaches the running backs at Bentley.
"Afterward, a reporter wanted to do an interview. Bobby wouldn't do it without the other running backs who had played that night. I'd never seen that. It sounds corny, but a guy who had that much talent — he dominated the game — but he knew the other guys helped make it possible and wanted them to get credit too."
