Melrose Edges Marblehead For Third D4 North Title Over Last Four Years

By Brandon Chase (@BrandonNChase)

Melrose — Isaac Seide seemed like he was always in the right place at the right time for the Melrose football team.

Need a big play to energize a stagnant drive? No problem. Looking for a momentum-thwarting stop in a key situation? Seide will cover that, too.

The junior two-way threat was the focal point of the Red Raiders’ 28-20 win over Marblehead Friday night in the Division 4 North final. Behind Siede’s 244 yards rushing on 27 carries and three touchdowns, Melrose captured its third sectional title in four seasons.

Melrose Continues Hot Start With League Win Against Watertown

MELROSE - On a night full of defensive highlights, Melrose’s final one proved to be the most critical of them all.

With Melrose holding a 28-14 lead and under three minutes to play, Watertown marched down to the 16-yard line, hoping for one last gasp of life.

Melrose lineman Patrick Byrnes (3 sacks), however, came off the edge and stripped Watertown quarterback Nick McDermott. Michael Sickler recovered the fumble and Melrose (3-0) held on for a 28-14 Middlesex League win over the visiting Raiders (2-1) on a damp Friday night at Melrose High School.

The Red Raiders defense combined for nine sacks on the night, while forcing two fumbles and coming away with an interception.
