Cohasset has enjoyed a three-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will head out to challenge the Mashpee Falcons at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Cohasset gave up the first points two weeks ago, but they didn't let that get them down. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 22-19 win over Carver.
Cohasset relied on the efforts of Michael Wildfire, who rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown, and Gus Greene, who gained 89 total yards and a touchdown. What's more, Greene also racked up 55 rushing yards, the mosthe's had since back in November of 2023.
He was just one part of a punishing run game: Cohasset was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 202 rushing yards. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 96.7 rushing yards per game earlier this season, but in their last three matches they've averaged 177.
One reason for the win was Cohasset's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for six sacks. Carver's QB won't forget Nicholas Askjaer anytime soon given he sacked him three times.
