Danvers (0-5) is at home tonight (7) and will have its hands full against 2-3 Beverly. The Falcons dropped a 35-14 decision to Beverly last year, and it wasn't the great Pat Bailey (now at Tufts) who destroyed them. With Bailey injured, Greg Pierce ran wild against the Blue-and-White | and he's still around. Pierce went for a mere 191 yards and two touchdowns in Beverly's 13-6 win over Peabody last week.

"Pierce had 4 touchdowns (and 252 rushing yards) against us last year," said Danvers coach John Sullivan. "That kid is a touchdown waiting to happen."

Sullivan says his team isn't down right now. He's been getting outstanding play from the likes of Chris Martin (fullback/middle linebacker), Patrick Hennessey (tackle/defensive end) and John Gikas (guard/defensive tackle). The Falcons have to keep plugging and eliminate mistakes.

"The good part about this (the Northeastern Conference being split into Large and Small divisions) is that we're just starting our season," said Sullivan. "It's a new beginning for us. We're looking at it that way."
