PELHAM —Pelham's gameplan was simple Friday night.
Hand the ball off, line up, and then do it again.
The Pythons ran the ball 53 times for 288 yards, and the defense held strong in a 28-0 shutout of Merrimack Valley. Matt Muise led the way for the winners with 108 yards on 23 carries, and Colby Travis added 69 yards on eight carries.
Pelham (2-2) struck first when Jake Herrling barrelled in from a yard out late in the first quarter. The Pythons then broke the game open in the second half when Zach Jones (17 yards), Herrling (7) and Colby Travis (16) added touchdown runs of their own.
Besides his two scores, Herrling added 58 yards on the ground on 10 carries.
Pelham will try to keep the momentum going next Saturday when it hosts Hollis-Brookline (6 p.m.).
