In our never-ending quest to bring you the best local sports coverage, here’s the debut of our newest feature…TheSunBlog Pigskin Party.
Each week, we’ll post some items about the previous weekend’s high school football games, a picture here or there, highlight outstanding performances, you know, stuff like that. You’ll also be able to see how your team is doing by visiting the standings page (to see them, just click on the “view full entry” link below.
But most of all, this is just another vehicle for you to show your school pride, boast about your team’s big victory, or just rag on your biggest rival. I expect those comments to fill up!
Stars of the week:
Ernie "The Fantasy Football Machine" Mello (Wilmington): In a 47-33 victory over Lawrence, Mello rushed the ball 41-times for 375-yards and 7...yes, I said 7...touchdowns. As if that wasn't enough of a workload, the senior running back also hauled in 2-receptions and returned two kicks. He now has 14-TD's on the season as Wilmington is off to a 3-0 start.
Derek "Catch this Sinkerball" Lowe (Tewksbury): A week after returning two kicks for touchdowns, Lowe broke loose for TD runs of 55 & 73 to lead Tewksbury to a big 23-3 win over Lowell. On the day, Lowe ran the ball 6-times for 156-yards and also caught 3-passes for 28-yards.
Questions of the week:
Can anyone stop the Bishop Guertin machine?
Is Billerica for real?
Can Tewksbury keep it going against Chelmsford?
