South Portland High School football coach Aaron Filieo traded his usual Red Riots red for blue this week, to lead the West team in the 2025 Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl.
Prior to Saturday’s game at Lewiston High School, Filieo wore a microphone for warmups, giving a glimpse of what exactly a head coach says before the big game. For Filieo, there’s a lot of love and admiration for and with the squad of West players, and he hyped the team up with a speech reminding everyone just how special it is to be a part of the traditionally significant game.
