Ariel Medina's Big Game Leads Woonsocket over Shea
Woonsocket's three-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Ariel Medina. Shea had no answer to Medina on Saturday as he rushed for 95 yards and two touchdowns. Woonsocket is 2-1 when Medina posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 0-3 otherwise.
On the season, Medina has averaged 17.3 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 5.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 86.33 rushing yards.

Peno Came Up Big in South Kingstown's 35-6 Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Dante Peno stepped things up a notch to give South Kingstown the 'W'. Peno turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 95 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries.
South Kingstown and Shea are set to duel on Friday. Peno will face off against Tyler Simmons, the Raiders' star running back. Will the matchup be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.
