BILLERICA — It was a dominating performance by Billerica on Friday night, as the Indians blanked conference rival Lawrence 27-0.
The Indians relied heavily on their running game to set the tone early, as starting quarterback Justin Beck only dropped back to pass seven times throughout the entire game, and Billerica was able to use its size to get whatever it wanted on offense.
"They're good. We got to make plays against teams like this," said Lawrence head coach Mike Yameen. "We had a couple drives that stalled out, some mental mistakes, and I told the guys that they played harder and faster than us today. That can't happen against good teams like this."
Yameen and the Lancers could do nothing to stop running back Drew Laundry, who totaled 168 all purpose yards (147 rushing) to go along with two rushing touchdowns.
Billerica jumped out in front right away, methodically driving 66 yards on eight plays to score a touchdown on the opening drive of the game. The Lancers were hurt by star running back Kenny Richards missing his second straight week with a knee injury, and key defensive player Eddie Cabrera also had to watch the game from the sidelines for the Lancers due to an injury.
The Indians, meanwhile, utilized every call in their playbook in front of a good home crowd. With 6:25 left in the first half, Beck threw an out pass to wideout Dean Brooks who dropped back himself to zip a spiral to a wide open Jeff Trainor for a 40-yard pass.
"We shot ourselves in the foot a few times, and you just can't do that against a good team like this," said Yameen.
Though the score didn't show it, the Lancers showed great fight in the loss. The Lancer defense got up to make a huge fourth down goal line stop late in the third quarter that would have made the scoreboard look even more lopsided.
The trouble was the team couldn't get anything going on offense. Quarterback Ismael Jenkins was only 5-for-16 with 50 yards, and while. Darryl Munoz and Angel Abrue tried to pick up the workload on the ground for the Lancers, they couldn't get in the endzone.
"We got to finish off our drives, and get off the field on fourth down," Yameen said.
Lawrence, now 2-1, will gear up for its game against Haverhill next Friday night.
