Methuen have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. On Thursday they will take on Dracut at 10:00 AM. Methuen are expected to win -- but not by much -- so they will need to come into the contest prepared for a fight.
Methuen might have drawn first blood against Acton-Boxborough four weeks ago, but it was Acton-Boxborough who got the last laugh. Methuen fell to Acton-Boxborough 21-28. This was a playoff match, so the blow was especially dispiriting for Methuen.
Meanwhile, it was all tied up at the half for Dracut and Concord-Carlisle two weeks ago, but Dracut stepped up in the second half. Dracut took down Concord-Carlisle 34-14. This was a playoff game, so the win was all the more important for Dracut (and all the more bitter for Concord-Carlisle).
Dracut's victory lifted them to 5-4 while Methuen's defeat dropped them down to 6-3. In Dracut's victory, senior Allyn French rushed for 123 yards and 2 touchdowns on 13 carries and sophomore Jc Santiago picked up 61 yards on the ground on 2 carries and snatched 2 receiving TDs. We'll see if Methuen have a strategy for dealing with them or if they lead their team to another successful outing.
