SALEM, N.H. — There’s more to Timberlane than Derek Furey. A lot more.

This one ended up being a classic.

Last night’s Northeastern Conference showdown pitted defending NEC North and Division 2A Superbowl Champion Gloucester against defending NEC South and Division 3 Superbowl Champion Swampscott. The match-up also pitted two contrasting styles in Gloucester’s grind-it-out ball control offense and the Big Blue’s quick-strike spread attack.

He hauled in three touchdowns from John Hennessy and tallied career-highs in catches (7) and receiving yards (101). McConnell used his speed and agility, outmaneuvering or simply running past defenders.
