As we enter a new MIAA season, I’m proud to announce that I will be penning the Boston Herald’s Football Notebook this fall. In today’s paper, you will find our Div. 1-2 preview. Which schools can we expect to compete for Super Bowl titles? Story: https://t.co/Sbug9yZ7wN

Donovan takes another shot…and Stelljes makes a contested catch. Then he shakes off three tacklers and gets free!!!! It’s a 91-yard touchdown strike, and Scituate (@ScitAthletics) regains the lead! It’s a 28-21 game with 10 seconds left in the third. @Murray_Jack_

Duxbury sees its drive stall in enemy territory, and punts facing 4th-and-long. Sailors will take over at their own 5 with 1:10 left in the third. Still 21-all. @Murray_Jack_

Scituate goes three-and-out, and punts it away. A great 51-yard punt by Foley gives Duxbury possession at its own 46. 4:46 left in the third. @Murray_Jack_

McNeil with another carry for Duxbury…and the ball is punched free! Scituate (@ScitAthletics) recovers at its own 3 with 7:19 left in the third. It remains a 21-21 game! @Murray_Jack_

Rams get their 2nd of the quarter and now lead the hornets 14-7. @Nrtranscript @globeschools @bostonheraldhs @globelars @bconn63

Halftime: No. 1 Scituate 21, No. 4 Duxbury 21. Fitting that we have an incredible bout between these two bitter rivals. It’s going to come down to the wire, and the winner will advance to the Div. 4 Super Bowl at Gillette. A classic so far. @Murray_Jack_

In the closing moments of the half, Rhinesmith heaves one to the end zone…and it is CAUGHT! Jack Carney corrals the pass for a 31-yard touchdown reception! Hammond hits the PAT, and Duxbury (@DuxHSFootball) ties it back up at 21-all! Six seconds left in the half. @Murray_Jack_

Final @WBMHSAthletics 42 @lee_wildcats 22 For the fourth straight year, West Boylston is going to Gillette! Lions run past Lee and will face the winner of No. 1 @NashobaTech and No. 4 Randolph. @EagleSportsZone @GlobeSchools

1:18 to go in the half.

On the very next play, the Sailors (@ScitAthletics) goes into its own bag of tricks with a wide receiver pass, and Stelljes hits Miller Shea in stride!! It’s a 61-yard touchdown strike, and Scituate (@ScitAthletics) punches right back to seize a 21-14 lead! @Murray_Jack_

Duxbury tries some trickery with a fake punt, and Rhinesmith’s pass attempt on 4th down falls incomplete! Scituate takes over at its own 39 with 1:29 left in the half. @Murray_Jack_

Jonny Donovan takes a deep shot on 3rd down…and he has a man!!! Tyler Stelljes hauls in the pass, and he is GONE for a 48-yard touchdown reception! The sophomore also adds a PAT, and Scituate (@ScitAthletics) ties it at 14-all! 3:28 left in the half. @Murray_Jack_

Handoff goes to Cole Barberia, and he gets away!! The senior sheds a tackle, and breaks off a 13-yard touchdown rush! Hammond adds the PAT, and Duxbury (@DuxHSFootball) has jumped in front, 14-7! 5:01 to go in the half. @Murray_Jack_

Scituate sees its drive stall out at its own 35. Then the ensuing punt attempt is blocked! Duxbury (@DuxHSFootball) has possession in enemy territory with just over seven minutes to go in the half! @Murray_Jack_

Facing 4th down, Brady Rhinesmith fires one up to the end zone, and the pass is broken up! Scituate (@ScitAthletics) forces a turnover on downs, and takes over at its 20 with 8:00 left in the half. @Murray_Jack_

End of 3 @WBMHSAthletics 35 @lee_wildcats 14 Huge conversion on 4&3 for Lee here. David Kirchner to Jaydee Reber. @EagleSportsZone @GlobeSchools

Matt Landolfi burns a timeout for Duxbury with 9:03 left in the first half. Dragons are driving, now at the Scituate 17. @Murray_Jack_

After a missed field goal the Hornets lead Shawsheen 7-0 at the half. @Nrtranscript @globeschools @bostonheraldhs @globelars @bconn63

Through one quarter, top-ranked Scituate (@ScitAthletics) & No. 4 Duxbury (@DuxHSFootball) are deadlocked at 7-all. @Murray_Jack_

Sailors go for it on 4th down, and Foley is taken down short of the line to gain! Duxbury (@DuxHSFootball) makes the stop, and takes over at its 31 with 11 seconds left in the first. @Murray_Jack_
