Hingham Heading Back to BU After Route of Beverly

By Jake Levin (@JakeLevin477)

NORWELL - Once again, the Hingham Harbormen are en route to Boston University.

To say Hingham has unfinished business would be a tremendous understatement, but the Division 2 South champs sure look up to the task of capturing the program’s first state title since 2002 following a 17-5 blowout of the Beverly Panthers on Wednesday night.

The Harbormen wasted little time making their statement, with Tommy Welch scoring just 14 seconds into the contest. Welch was one of 10 goal scorers for Hingham, which never trailed.

LOWELL, Mass. – The Beverly Panthers shocked the Massachusetts football community last weekend by scoring 19 unanswered points in a comeback win over Billerica, finding some good fortune along the way, but no amount of luck was going to get them past the Division 2 South champions.

Duxbury (11-0) jumped all over Beverly (8-3) at Lowell’s Cawley Stadium, scoring 27 points over the first eleven-and-a-half minutes of the game, and the Dragons never looked back on their way to a 41-14 victory.

“We knew coming in that [The Panthers] run the ball very well, so we knew we couldn’t fall behind early,” explained Duxbury head coach Dave Maimaron. “We figured it would be a lot easier to get out in front and play against that team with a lead, so thankfully we were able to do that.”

BILLERICA -- Sam Abate did it all, and a little bit more for Beverly in the second half last night against Billerica.

Abate’s three second-half touchdowns powered Beverly to 19 straight points in  and an improbable 19-18 come-from-behind victory over Billerica to win the Division 2 North title.

After not getting a single offensive touch in the first half, Abate took over in the final 22 minutes. He rushed the ball 10 times for 75 yards and two touchdowns and caught an 80-yard touchdown pass.
