Who's up and who's down

Can't Touch This

Duxbury got a 35 - 23 win over Scituate last week, and a key reason for the win was junior Tim Landolfi. Landolfi earned three touchdowns and 153 yards rushing the ball. In fact, our algorithms singled out Landolfi as one of the top players in the power rankings for the week.

No Stoppin 'Em

After a timid seven display the game before, Central sure wasn't afraid to show off its offense last week. It took its game against St. John's by a confident 61 - 34 score. Central did have the odds in its favor, but the team did even better than the MaxPreps state rankings indicated. The combined 95-point effort made this the highest-scoring game in the power rankings for the week.

Game of Inches

The title of the most exciting match of the week goes to the clash between Tewksbury Memorial and Methuen. Tewksbury Memorial won an extremely close contest against Methuen with a final score of 31 - 30. Tewksbury Memorial and Methuen were a much more even match than Tewksbury Memorial's previous opponent, giving the fans a heck of a game.

Next Week's Big Game

If you are itching to watch a first-rate contest, no game is supposed to fit the bill better than the one between St. John's Prep (5th in the power rankings) and Everett (1st). Both teams are coming in hot off of wins in their previous games. Only one team will win this week, so we'll find out which team fails to repeat its success.
