FOXBORO — For a season in which Jack Martinelli won his 300th game, and capped it off with a D5 state title, the Foxboro coach had the perfect word for it.

“You know, it’s been storybook,” Martinelli said. “But, as I said early on, kids have personal goals. They have team goals. I never asked anything what they were. I said it always bears the truth at the end of the season, so I guess I know what their personal and team goals were.”

His team did so with a dominant, 48-21 thrashing of a good Hanover team to put the bow on a 12-1 season. Hanover ended at 11-2.

The Warriors ran the ball effectively all game, but the biggest key for Foxboro was converting Hanover turnovers into touchdowns. According to Martinelli, that was nothing new.

“We’ve done it all year,” Martinelli said. “We had, I go back to (King Philip) and say that (loss) was probably the best thing that happened to us. Our turnover and giveaway ratio has been tremendous this year. We had 15, maybe 16 interceptions this year.”

But it was Hanover that started fast. John McDonald took a wide receiver screen from Ben Scalzi, slipped into the secondary, and outraced everyone for a 66-yard touchdown. McDonald booted the PAT to give Hanover a 7-0 lead with 7:39 to play in the opening quarter.

Foxboro had an answer. The Warriors went on a seven-play, 68-yard drive that ended when Ryan Foley caught a 41-yard touchdown pass from Mike Marcucella (5 of 10 passing for 108 yards and a TD).

Things then began to fall apart for Hanover. Foxboro’s Shane Henri intercepted Scalzi, and after the Warriors could not convert, Trevor Palmer recovered a Hanover fumble at the Hawks’ 6-yard line. It only took one play for Ben Angelini (141 yards and two TD on 22 carries) to score from there.

Then, on the first play of the second quarter, Brandon Mazenkas-O’Grady returned a Hanover fumble 39 yards for a touchdown, as Foxboro held a 21-7 lead.

“We’ve been working hard,” Mazenkas-O’Grady said. “We’ve been wanting this. We wanted it so bad. We wanted it since last year. We wanted it more.”

The Hawks then had a negative-yardage punt, and Angelini made runs of 21 and 7 yards, the latter for a touchdown. That put the Warriors squarely in front, 28-7.

Hanover answered with a nice drive, as Sebastian Brown caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from Scalzi.

But the momentum did not last. Marcucella hit Eddie Feldman for a 46-yard gain into Hanover territory. Lincoln Moore finished the drive off with a 1-yard touchdown, and Foxboro went into the half with a 35-14 lead.

Troy Sulham added touchdown runs of 11 and 15 yards in the fourth quarter for Foxboro. Scalzi hit Vinny Mancini for a late touchdown for Hanover.

But this was Foxboro’s night, and Martinelli’s storybook season had an appropriate ending.
