The team's defensive performance included four straight shutouts at the beginning of the 1937 campaign. The team allowed no more than six points in any game that season, and wound up undefeated and tied at 6-6 only by an inspired Attleboro team on Thanksgiving Day.

Besides his ability to turn running plays inside from his spot at right end, Lenny was a fine offensive performer, blocking effectively for the Halls and Jerry Bozzo and occasionally snaring a pass to help give the team the advantage of a versatile attack, one which ran up 27 points against Canton and 25 against Dartmouth.

A standout on a standout team, Lenny Driscoll deservedly takes his place among the excellent schoolboy linemen enshrined in the Greater Attleboro Hall of Fame. A two-year starter. he was described by a press observer as one of the indispensable members of the North Attleboro teams of that era.
