Henry Bumpus '12 had a career game in his final outing for Concord-Carlisle as the senior captain had two TD receptions and a leaping interception from his Defensive End position that set his second TD reception of the game. Concord-Carlisle defeated Oliver Ames 42-9 and capped off a perfect 13-0 undefeated 2011 season.

Bumpus rebounds and stars: Bumpus had a strong junior season for C-C last year but had a dropped ball in the end zone that would have been a score for Concord-Carlisle in their Super Bowl loss at Gillette Stadium to Duxbury last year.

“Last year was the worst day of my life,” Bumpus said. “I dropped a big catch that I should have had so this year I knew I had to make up for it. I think I did that today and it feels so good to get that off my back.”

The Dual County League MVP had the biggest game of his career on the biggest stage as the 6-foot-6 defensive end/ tight end had two catches for 34 yards and two touchdowns to go along with an interception where he leaped up and picked off a Schneider pass and returned it deep into Oliver Ames territory.

Bumpus is also the captain of the C-C basketball team as well as a starting defenseman for the Patriots lacrosse squad. He will attend Brown University next season along with teammate and two time DCL lineman of the year Andrew vanderWilden. Together they will team with Henry’s older brother John who was a 2009 captain for Concord-Carlisle.
