Sachems rule at homecoming
The Middleboro Sachems scored two touchdowns in the first half, Friday, and held the Vineyard scoreless to claim a 14-0 win.
The first touchdown was a 50-yard return of an intercepted pass by Nick St.Germain. Delvin Bailey carried for two extra points. The second Middleboro score was a short plunge by fullback Ryan Muirhead after a 60-yard pass play.
Middleboro's Ryan Muirhead proved to be a durable runner who bulled his way for extra yardage.
This Friday MV takes on Blue Hills in its first Mayflower League contest. Last week Blue Hills shut out Nantucket, 14-0. Last year the Warriors topped MV, 22-6, on their way to the super bowl.
MV JVs win
The unbeaten MV junior varsity (3-0) won its game at Middleboro, Monday, 20-0. The game was scoreless until the final quarter when a Ben Rossi to Josh Paulson pass was good for 55 yards and six points. On the next possession Rossi found Paulson again for another TD. The final score was by Cooper Johnson on a three-yard plunge. Paulson also scored a PAT deuce.
The MV girls jumped to an early lead and were never challenged by the Aggies.
