By Paul Vozzella NEFJ Staff WEYMOUTH — It was a battle of the Wildcats Friday night as the Weymouth Wildcats took on the Milton Wildcats in a Bay State Conference match. Weymouth was without starting running back Cam Aieta, but that did not stop them from running all over the place en route to a 28-21 victory. In the absence of Aieta, multiple Weymouth Wildcats stepped up, most notably senior……
Carl Russo/eagletribune.com By Bill Burt North of Boston Media Group Executive Sports Editor ANDOVER – Methuen High’s ascension to victory, 37-10, over Andover High had at least a half-dozen storyline nominees. Andover couldn’t run the football – 22 rushes, 56 yards. Andover couldn’t contain Shane Eason – 19 rushes, 151 yards, four TDs – arguably one of the top talents in Massachusetts. Methuen’s second-tier players, including Joshua Kwakye and Cristian……
By Jared Keene NEFJ Correspondent WESTWOOD – On a night when every single yard mattered, it was Xaverian’s defense that proved to be the hero. Leading by eight as time ticked away, the Hawks were going to have to lock in and make the necessary plays needed to beat a quality Central Catholic squad. Twice the Raiders had the ball in Xaverian territory with under 2 minutes remaining, but twice……
Not as many top games this week, but still a good slate. We are getting to the middle of the season, so the real strong teams are moving to the forefront. Let’s take a look. Wayland at Shawsheen — This actually might be the best game of the weekend. Wayland is off to a 3-0 start and has only allowed 12 points all season. Shawsheen is coming off a win……

The week of the upset as both New Canaan and Darien go down. As a result, both fall out of the top five in our poll this week. 1. Greenwich (3-0): Impressive interstate win over a good Bishop Hendricken team for the Cardinals. 2. Windsor (3-0): Statement win over one of the top programs in the state in Darien will move you up in any poll. 3. Staples (3-0): Grinded out a 28-21 win over Maloney. A big win for a Wreckers team that all of a sudden is looking like a favorite again in Class LL

Xaverian (2-1) 6…….
