St. John's Shrewsbury fans came out in full-force to witness their Pioneers defeat No. 11 Shrewsbury.
Anyone who thought that St. John's Shrewsbury was going to go down without a fight in Div. 3 Central was proven to be mistaken on Saturday afternoon.
The Pioneers highlighted the week five slate with a 42-34 win over cross-town rival Shrewsbury with the dynamic duo of Colin Schofield and Jay Brunelle continuing to click on all cylinders. Colin Deso came through with the defensive play of the day, stuffing a Colonials' two-point attempt with Shrewsbury trailing by one late.
Elsewhere, No. 10 Needham continued its impressive play to begin the season. Taylor Reid rushed for a pair of scores, while Joe Anastasi, Mason Colwell, and Niall Dolan combined for eight sacks.
Holliston improved to 5-0 with a 28-7 win over Hopkinton, and No. 2 Xaverian put up another classic defensive performance with a 14-0 shutout of Brockton behind the play of Mike Masse.
Any thought of Duxbury relinquishing its decade hold on the Patriot League Keenan division was quickly squashed on Friday night. The No. 12 Dragons handled No. 13 Hingham from beginning to end to come away with a 38-20 victory.
Falmouth inched closer to clinching the ACL title outright with a huge win over Dennis-Yarmouth.
And if there was anyone thinking that its win over Lincoln-Sudbury was simply a fluke, No. 14 Acton-Boxboro put that to bed with a 30-14 win over Dracut.
