BILLERICA — Trailing by six points with four minutes left in the game, Greater Lawrence forced a defensive stop, then drove to the Shawsheen 20-yard line as the clock ticked down.
 
With just seconds to go, the Reggies threw a Hail Mary that nearly fell into the hands of a receiver before — after a lengthly battle — it was pulled away for an interception. Shawsheen knelt once to defeat the Reggies 16-10.
 
“It was a heartbreaker,” said Reggies head coach Tony Sarkis. “It was a back-and-fourth game and our kids didn’t quit. That last pass was a fade into the end zone and our guy fought for the ball. But their guy was just able to come down with it.”
 
Behind 7-0 early, Greater Lawrence tied the game before halftime when QB Shamil Diaz took a keeper 70 yards for a touchdown. 
Trailing 16-7 early in the fourth quarter, Reggies kicker Kevin Matul cut into the deficit when he boomed a 35-yard field goal.
“That was a terrific kick,” said Sarkis. “He made it with room to spare. That kick put us back into the game and gave us a chance to win.”
The Greater Lawrence defense — led by Franklyn Espinal — managed a final stop. But the Reggies fell just short.
“Shawsheen did enough to win in the end,” said Sarkis. “But our kids played so hard. Christopher Tineo made some great catches. Shamil was great. But we made a few too many mistakes. We’ll see what we’re made of coming back from a loss.”
Greater Lawrence (2-2) will next travel to Essex Tech on Friday (7 p.m.)
