Everett Pulls Away from Xaverian for Back-to-Back Division 1 Titles

By Matt Feld (@mattyfeld612)

FOXBOROUGH - For Everett, Saturday night was a perfect ending to a perfect season.

Jake Willcox threw for 185 and two touchdowns while Anthony Norcia compiled 124 yards receiving as Everett defeated Xaverian, 35-10, to win the Division 1 Super Bowl at Gillette Stadium.

The Crimson Tide (12-0) went into the half holding their smallest halftime lead of the season at 14-10.

As it did all season long, Everett, in the blink of an eye, left its opponent in the dust.

FOXBOROUGH - For the first time this season, Everett failed to go into the half with a double-digit lead.

Early on in Saturday night's Division 1 state championship game at Gillette Stadium, Xaverian did a great job of running the ball, keeping Jake Willcox and the explosive Crimson Tide offense off the field for much of the first half.

Mashpee Outlasts Blackstone Valley Tech for Third Straight State Championship

By Brendan Hall (@BHallUFA)

FOXBOROUGH -Matt Triveri’s tenure at Mashpee High has been marked by transcendent running back production year-in and year-out. And, while he’s still got another year with a pretty good one in Devaun Ford, the coach didn’t hesitate to put him in the ranks with past legends.

“He’s right up there with Jordan [Keli’inui], DeShaun [Dias], Jared Taylor,” Triveri said of his workhorse back, who worked through some early injury to finish with a game-high 24 carries for 177 yards and a touchdown, and added three catches for 45 yards and another score in the Falcons’ 22-16 win over Blackstone Valley Tech. The win handed Mashpee the MIAA Division 7 State Championship at Gillette Stadium, the program's third state championship in a row.

“All those guys, he’s right there… He’s one of the smartest we’ve ever had here. He just gets it. He’s a complete player.”

The Falcons have now won three straight state-wide titles at Gillette Stadium, and four Super Bowls in the past seven seasons, dating back to Jared Taylor’s epic 308-yard masterpiece in their Division 4A Super Bowl rout of Cardinal Spellman in 2011.

But before Mashpee could bask in the luster of more championship hardware, and before Ford could permeate himself in the annals of the school’s all-time greats, the Falcons had to hold on for dear life.

Millis Dominates Hoosac Valley for D8 State Championship

By Ethan Winter (@Ewints)

FOXBOROUGH - After scoring 76 points against Nashoba Valley Tech in the Division 8 State semifinal, the Hoosac Valley Hurricanes vaunted offense was held scoreless by an impressive Millis Mohawks defense, as Millis was able to repeat as State Champions with a dominating 37-0 win.

“It’s an unbelievable feeling,” said Millis head coach, Dana Olson of winning back-to-back state championships. “We only dressed 28 guys and 17 of them were seniors, I knew we had an unbelievable preseason and unbelievable preparation for this game.”

After scoring 76 points against Nashoba Valley Tech in the state semifinal, it looked like Hoosac might be the best chance for a WMass team to capture a state title since the MIAA went to a state-wide tournament format in 2013.

However, that big number two weeks ago got the Millis defense excited to play a Hoosac offense that averaged over 47 points per game.

Xs & Os: Melrose Goes Iso to Unleash Seide

Melrose junior running back Issac Seide rushed for 184 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries in the Red Raiders 21-0 win Nashoba in the Division 4 Super Bowl.

The sturdy junior running back gained most of his 184 yards on a basic isolation play out of a pistol two-back formation. Let's take a look at two of the Red Raiders' pet plays.

Seide Carries Melrose Past Nashoba for Division 4 Championship

By Eamon Convey (@eamonconvey)

FOXBOROUGH - The Melrose Red Raiders (13-0) came to Gillette Stadium for the MIAA Division 4 Super Bowl with 24 seniors, all of whom hoped to avenge back-to-back Super Bowl losses at Gillette in 2014 and 2015 to the Dartmouth Indians.

Avenge they did, courtesy of a 21-0 shutout victory over the Nashoba Chieftains (10-2), in a game where the Red Raiders ran all over their opponent, and delivered their longtime head coach Tim Morris a Super Bowl trophy.

Middleboro Runs Away from Littleton to Capture D6 State Championship

Middleboro captured the D6 state title, and celebrated late assistant coach and teacher Scott Nelson with his old high school number 57 on a special Sachem jersey.

By John McGuirk (@patsfan1313)

FOXBOROUGH - There was nothing about Littleton that proved a conundrum to Middleboro. The Sachems took the Tigers' best punches early, but dished a considerable amount more during Saturday's 43-20 victory in the MIAA Division 6 state championship at Gillette Stadium.

Middleboro (10-3) earned its first state title since 1983, and fourth in school history as the Sachems put on an offensive clinic at the expense of Littleton (11-1).

Baker's Kick Lifts King Philip to Second Straight Title Against Lincoln-Sudbury

By Matt Feld (@mattyfeld612)

FOXBOROUGH -King Philip knew the game’s tense final moments would end in euphoria. After all, it was playing out eerily similar to other rock fights they had encountered along the improbable streak.

With less than two minutes to go, Cole Baker drilled a go-ahead 30-yard field to give King Philip a three-point lead. On Lincoln-Sudbury’s ensuing drive, KP’s secondary broke up a pair of passes, the last of which came courtesy of captains Shane Frommer and Andrew Dittrich, as King Philip defeated L-S, 10-7, in the Division 2 Super Bowl on Friday night at Gillette Stadium.

The win gives King Philip back-to-back championships and improves their winning streak to 25 games heading into next season.

St. John's (Shrewsbury) Hangs on for D3 State Championship Against North Attleboro

By Jake Levin (@JakeLevin09)

FOXBOROUGH - No huddle, no problem.

The St. John’s (Shrewsbury) Pioneers ran their high octane no-huddle offense to near perfection, which was just enough to outlast the North Attleboro Red Rocketeers, 35-33, to claim the Division 3 State Championship on Friday night.

The game had a distinctly Big 12 feel, particularly early on when the teams traded touchdowns throughout the first half. In the end, St. John’s kept its tempo up longer than North Attleboro, delivering the school its first Super Bowl title since 2010, and first championship in the new state-wide tournament.

Middleboro Hoping to "Win One for Nelly" this Saturday at Gillette

As they have all season, the Sachems will wear a sticker bearing longtime coach and teacher Scott Nelson's high school number of 57 when they take the field at Gillette.

By Eamon Convey (@eamonconvey)

Middleboro, Mass. - When the Middleboro Sachems (9-3) football team returned to the field for practices this past summer, there was a notable absence for the first time since 1981.

Lifelong Middleboro resident and proud Sachem, Scott Nelson, 59, passed away suddenly in June, just weeks after retiring from his positions as both a teacher and coach at Middleboro High School. The man referred to as “Nelly” by those close to him was not only the head of the science department, but also coached football, basketball, and softball at MHS.

Nelly worked under Middleboro Head Football Coach Pat Kingman as a receivers coach, and left an endearing mark on the program.
