Football Notebook: Rory Funke comes from a family of athletes. Only a sophomore, the Dexter Southfield (@DXSF_FB) standout chose to blaze his own trail at quarterback. He has now emerged as one of the top dual-threats in the NEPSAC ranks. Story here:

Avon Old Farms and Dexter Southfield played one of the best games of the year in the NEPSAC on Saturday. The Winged Beavers snuck out of Brookline with a one-point win in the battle of unbeatens. Story & photos by @tcrowley37: https://t.co/W1eg6eduF7 @newftbj @AOF_Football

There are no spaces left at the school, so fans are being urged to park elsewhere. This will serve as Dexter Southfield’s Homecoming game. @Murray_Jack_

Avon vs Dexter was the best game in New England… and it lived up to every bit of hype. Dexter put on a strong show and while they may not end the season undefeated, they took a giant step forward today as a program. Avon, looked every bit like one of the best teams in New

Funke with another QB keeper…and he is going to get away!!! It’s a 39-yard touchdown rush, and Dexter Southfield (@DXSF_FB) regains the lead! Unreal! Two-point rush fails, but it’s a 28-22 game with 2:38 to go. @Murray_Jack_

Quick handoff goes to Lamarri Sanchez-Coleman, and he tumbles into the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown run! Steven Joseph adds a two-point rush, and Dexter Southfield (@DXSF_FB) has come all the way back to take a 22-14 lead! 7:56 remaining in regulation. @Murray_Jack_

Funke decides to keep it again, and he rumbles up the field for a 30-yard gain! That is how the third quarter will conclude. Dexter Southfield (@DXSF_FB) has rallied from a two-score deficit, now deadlocked with Avon Old Farms at 14-all. @Murray_Jack_

Funke keeps it himself again in the red zone, and he dives across the goal line for a 15-yard touchdown run!!! The sophomore QB adds a two-point rush, and just like that, Dexter Southfield (@DXSF_FB) ties it at 14-all! 7:28 left in the third. @Murray_Jack_

Funke somehow dances away from pressure here, fires downfield…and he hits Braxton Day for a 36-yard gain! Dexter Southfield (@DXSF_FB) is in business, now at the Avon 14 with about eight minutes to go in the third! @Murray_Jack_

Funke decides to scramble on the final play of the second quarter, and he’s in!!! It’s a 3-yard touchdown scamper, and Dexter Southfield (@DXSF_FB) is on the board! Two-point rush fails, but that cuts it to a 14-6 game as we hit the half. @Murray_Jack_

Facing 4th down, Funke fires one downfield, and it is hauled in by Charles Hanafin for a 28-yard gain! Dexter Southfield (@DXSF_FB) is driving, now at the Avon 9 with 26 seconds left in the half. @Murray_Jack_

Dexter Southfield (@DXSF_FB) players take the field first for opening ceremonies, followed by Avon Old Farms (@AOF_Football). @Murray_Jack_
