NORTH READING - North Reading running back Matt McCarthy had another big day, burning Newburyport's defense for 113 first-half yards and three touchdowns on the ground en route to a 41-8 win.
North Reading (6-1) scored on its first five possessions, pulling ahead by four touchdowns before halftime.
The Hornets started by handing the ball to McCarthy four consecutive times, leading to a 31-yard field goal by Angelo Disanto. Then, North Reading put together a four-play, 91-yard drive which was capped off by a 2-yard McCarthy touchdown run.
"Matty (McCarthy) is phenomenal," said North Reading head coach Jeff Wall. "He's just a tremendous athlete and we are blessed to have him and David (Smith) as a 1-2 punch. It's not always coming down to us calling the right plays, Matt just makes things happen and he makes everyone around him better on both offense and defense."
The next three scoring drives by the Hornets were two more TD runs by McCarthy of 4 and 9 yards, respectively, before Smith ran one in from 5-yards out to put his team up 31-0 just before the break.
Disanto would add another 27-yard field goal before Ryan Edison plowed into the endzone for a 12-yard TD run to conclude the scoring.
