Scotty Mackin, who has served as a manager of the Hopkinton High School football team since he was a teenager and added baseball and basketball to his resume about 20 years ago, celebrated his 56th birthday Sunday morning with a drive-by celebration in front of the school.

The parade of well-wishers was led by vehicles from the town’s Police Department and Fire Department. Then coaches, current and former students and friends drove by with honks and waves.
