LAWRENCE — Central Catholic’s Trae Musumarra never dreamt the ball would be coming his way.

“I was just supposed to block on the play,” said Musumarra. “Then, there was no one there to block and I just looked up and was staring at the football. I had no idea how I got out there.”

ANDOVER — At points in his career, Andover’s Jimmy Johnson has played everywhere from defensive line to defensive back. But on Friday, defensive coordinator Derrik Beasley had another plan.

ANDOVER — It took just 14 seconds for Andover to fall behind, and the Golden Warriors were never able to recover.

Andover allowed a touchdown on the opening kickoff, and despite a rally were never able to tie the score and fell to Merrimack Valley Conference large foe Billerica 35-14 last night.

METHUEN — All Methuen needed was three plays.

Quarterback draw right, left, and up the middle.

Working almost exclusively out of an old-fashion single-wing offense, Cal Carroll and his Rangers dominated the line of scrimmage on the way to downing red-hot Andover 14-7 last night.

DRACUT — After falling behind by 19 points midway through the second quarter, Andover cut the deficit to three late in the third quarter.

But that was as close as Andover would get, as Dracut poured on the points from there on in a 47-22 romp last night.

ANDOVER — Heading into the day, Andover’s Nick Price didn’t know if he’d see the field. He certainly didn’t know he’d be at the center of a win that snapped 10 years of misery.

ANDOVER — For the better part of 20 minutes, it was Haverhill that controlled the game. But then Jake Lebowitz struck.

“The quarterback kind of juggled the ball,” he said. “I pushed him out of the way, caught it and tried to get into the end zone. I didn’t but I feel like that kind of turned the game around.”

TEWKSBURY – Through two tough weeks, Andover receiver Jimmy Johnson knew it was only a matter of time until his team’s passing game would click.
