Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:41:16 GMT

BURLINGTON — Amesbury attempted just one pass in its semifinal football matchup against Cohasset, but that does not mean the offense wasn’t explosive.The rushing attack, led by Max and Michael Sanchez, ran ragged on the Cohasset defense during a decisive 48-28 victory over the No. 2 seeded Skippers to advance to the Div. 7 state championship game.“(Reaching the state championship) is everyone’s goal,” Amesbury head coach Collin McQueen said. “These guys have earned every last bit of it. We want to be the team that we see ourselves as, that we believe we are. We want to play the best and we want to beat the best.”For Max Sanchez, who had 222 yards and three touchdowns on 12 carries, a mistake on the defensive side of the ball sparked his offensive outpouring.“I missed a tackle and they scored, and I got kind of angry,” Sanchez said. “I was annoyed about that and told myself it was time to work.”The Redhawks started with the ball and Michael Sanchez made his presence felt on the openi...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:41:16 GMT

LYNN — The Salem football team didn’t run a single offensive play in the first quarter of its Div. 6 semifinal against Stoneham on Friday at Manning Field. Normally that would probably result in the Witches having to play catch-up.That wasn’t the case, however, as Salem used big play after big play to overcome the Spartans ball-control attack.Stoneham ran 67 plays compared to Salem’s 29 but a pair of kick return touchdowns and a three-touchdown performance from Devante Ozuna propelled the Witches to their first Super Bowl appearance since 1999 with a 38-14 win.“I am so proud of these kids,” Salem coach Matt Bouchard said. “The COVID year was hell for these kids bit they were a bright light and that helped propel them to where they are now.”The question coming in was if Stoneham’s ball control could keep Salem’s high-powered offense off the field long enough to keep the score in check. Problem for Stoneham was that the Witches can beat you in many ways.That was shown on the opening k...
