Welcome to B.M.C. Durfee High School of Fall River

Lavoie shared the Donald Travisano Trophy with Jim Feijo as Durfee’s most outstanding linemen during his senior season. A two-time All-Bristol County center and tackle, he went on to play football for Boston College, where he received a full scholarship and was a member of the unbeaten 1963 football team. Lavoie was also among the first members in Durfee’s wrestling program.

Massoud, a lineman for the Hilltopper football team, also won the Travisano Award and was All-Bristol County as a senior. Massoud was the MVP winner as a power-hitting first baseman in baseball and was on the Durfee wrestling team for two seasons.

Murray was a three-year starter in football. He also played for three years of baseball, where he was an in-fielder, and basketball, excelling in all three sports.

Ozug ran for the Hilltopper cross country team, where he was a captain and was a track standout in the half-mile, mile, and two-mile and was a long-time record holder in the two-mile, running a 10-minute, 25.8-seconds during the 1970 season.

Roque was among the best linebackers who ever played at Durfee High. He was awarded the Jake Reagan Memorial Trophy as Durfee’s most outstanding football player as a senior and twice named All-Bristol County. Roque also played baseball for the Hilltoppers, where he was a fierce competitor.
