LAWRENCE - Granted the opportunity to start at linebacker, Central Catholic's Jimmy Haddad enthusiastically roamed sideline to sideline, attacking and destroying any Tewksbury player in his path.

ANDOVER — Steven LaFortune saw the play developing in front of him.

"It was a cover-1 so I had the first man out of the backfield," he said. "He was quicker than me, bit I made a good read, got my hands in the air and knocked the ball down.

TEWKSBURY — The first time Methuen ran the play, Mike Bartlett let the pass slip through his hands. The second time, there was no way the senior was going to drop it.

“It was a new play and I don’t know why I didn’t catch the ball the first time,” said Bartlett. “But I just got myself open again and I knew I would catch it this time. I brought it in and it was just total joy.”

TEWKSBURY — Just a week removed from a game in which it racked up over 330 yards on the ground, Haverhill could never quite get the offense going as the rain-slicked Doucette Stadium field kept them from gaining traction in yesterday’s 27-0 loss at Tewksbury.
