PELHAM — Things didn't quite start as planned for the Pelham football team Saturday night.
A fumble set up visiting Hollis-Brookline's with great field possession, and moments later Marc-Andre Thermitus scored the game's first touchdown on a 5-yard run.
The Pythons were trailing from the start, and actually found themselves down midway through the third quarter, but were always able to fight back to earn a gritty 20-15 win. Charlie Katin's 24-yard touchdown reception from Ian Hoey with 26 seconds left in the third gave the Pythons (3-2) the lead, and the defense held on in the fourth to secure the much-needed win.
"We played hard and stepped up when we had to in order to come away with the win," said Pelham coach Tom Babaian.
Hollis (3-2) to an 8-0 lead after its inital touchdown, but Pelham made it an 8-7 game at the half when Zach Jones scored on a 13-yard run.
After the break, Matt Muise put the Pythons up 14-8 after an 11-yard TD scamper. Hollis retook the lead thanks to a Sander Wimmer score, but Katin — who finished with a team-high 64 yards on 19 carries — made the big catch to give his team what ultimately was the final lead of the game.
Having now won two in a row, Pelham will look to keep it rolling at Souhegan on Friday (7 p.m.).
