Penta was captain of the 1980 Haverhill High School football team and considered to be one of the best wrestlers in New England. He was killed two months after graduation in 1981 in a car crash. Since 1996, his friends have gathered on the second Friday in June to reminisce and recall their friend. Some $177,000 in scholarships have been awarded in Penta’s name to date.
