FOXBOROUGH — The Gloucester football team had their bid for a second straight Division 2A Super Bowl derailed by Duxbury this afternoon. After a back and forth three quarters the Dragons took over the game in the fourth en route to a 46-26 win at Gillette Stadium.

Host Danvers may be a big underdog against NEC Large champion Gloucester, but they've won four of the last nine games between the two teams at Deering Stadium.

GLOUCESTER - The Gloucester football team is in a pretty familiar situation after last night's victory over Lynn English.

The Fishermen have clinched a share of the Northeastern Conference Large, and more importantly, their second straight trip to Division 2A playoffs after a 35-7 dismantling of the Bulldogs at Newell Stadium. Gloucester will begin their quest for a second straight Division 2A Super Bowl when they meet the winner of the Cape Ann League in the semi finals.

GLOUCESTER - In case anyone forgot what kind of dimension Taylor Burbine adds to the Gloucester High football team's offense, what happened on Friday night at Newell Stadium served as a reminder.

REVERE— The Gloucester Fishermen football team has to be happy that there are (at least) four quarters in every game.

For the second straight week, the Fishermen (6-1) came out flat in the first quarter, only to explode for a lopsided win, 30-12, at Revere’s Harry Della Russo Stadium. The game was much more one-sided than the final score would indicate.

This one ended up being a classic.

Last night’s Northeastern Conference showdown pitted defending NEC North and Division 2A Superbowl Champion Gloucester against defending NEC South and Division 3 Superbowl Champion Swampscott. The match-up also pitted two contrasting styles in Gloucester’s grind-it-out ball control offense and the Big Blue’s quick-strike spread attack.

GLOUCESTER - Gloucester head football coach Paul Ingram wanted his team to get an advantage early in yesterday's game with Beverly. With both teams coming into the game at 2-0, Ingram wanted to seize the momentum early and hope it carried throughout the game.

GLOUCESTER - There's two ways to look at the Gloucester High School football team's 20-13 victory over Masconomet on Friday night. On the one hand, upcoming opponents of the Fishermen may use footage of Friday night's game as proof that Gloucester may not be quite the juggernaut it was last year during its 13-0, Super Bowl championship season. The Fishermen were in an absolute battle with winless Masco (0-3) and held just a 14-13 lead with 10 minutes left in the contest. A far cry from 10 months ago, when the Fishermen steamrolled the Chieftains, 39-0, in the Division 2A semifinals.

GLOUCESTER— The Gloucester football team (2-0) found out pretty quickly that Masconomet was not the same team that they dominated 39-0 in the Division 2A semifinals last season. The Chieftains (0-3) came out hungry and gave the Fishermen all they could handle last night in their home opener at Newell Stadium.
