State Reps. Agree On High School Super Bowl Bet

Rep. Brad Jones, state rep for Lynnfield, bets Rep. Betty Poirier, state rep for North Attleboro, a $100 donation to local food pantry.

House Minority Leader Bradley H. Jones, Jr. (R-North Reading) and State Representative Elizabeth “Betty” Poirier (R-North Attleboro) recently entered into a friendly high school Super Bowl wager.

With a $100 donation to the winning town’s local food pantry on the line, the legislators have laid claim to their football team’s supremacy.  If Lynnfield wins, Representative Poirier will donate $100 to The Blessing Room Food Pantry in the Town of Lynnfield.  If Bishop Feehan wins, Representative Jones will donate $100 to the Hebron Food Pantry in the City of Attleboro.

“I commend Representative Poirier for entering into this wager,” said House Minority Leader Jones. “While I am sure that Bishop Feehan has a good football team, it is clear to me that the Lynnfield Pioneers will be victorious in the end and I know the Lynnfield food pantry will be able to put the donation to good use, particularly during this holiday season.”
