The Fitchburg Red Raiders will challenge the West Boylston/Tahanto Lions at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Given that both suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
Fitchburg can't be to happy about their upcoming road contest considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home two weeks ago. They took a blow against North Middlesex Regional, falling 42-0. The Red Raiders' defeat continues a trend for the team, making it 12 in a row dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, after a string of 13 wins dating back to last season, West Boylston/Tahanto's good fortune finally ran out on Friday. They took a 36-28 hit to the loss column at the hands of Northbridge.
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Dominic Renzoni, who picked up 52 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 80 yards. Stephen Simpson also helped with two touchdowns in total.
Fitchburg was dealt a bruising 44-6 loss at the hands of West Boylston/Tahanto in their previous matchup back in September of 2023. Can Fitchburg avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
