-The Game of the week saw Westford down Tyngsboro, 27-12, in a Dual County League showdown. The win keeps the Grey Ghosts alive in the DCL title hunt. Westford is in a 3-way tie for second place with a 3-1 conference record, a half game behind 4-1 Wayland.

-Acton-Boxboro, also 3-1 in the DCL, was knocked out of first place thanks to a 14-13 overtime home loss against Lincoln-Sudbury (3-1). The Colonials could have tied the game in OT with a PAT, but went for the 2-point conversion and were stuffed…a gutsy call by head coach Bill Maver that backfired.

-In games involving MVC teams, Billerica rebounded from a tough loss in Dracut by upending St. John’s Prep. The Indians (3-1) sit in 3rd place behind Chelmsford (4-0) and Andover (4-1).
