Through two games this fall, Anthony Plumb seems to be settling in quite nicely in his first year as starting quarterback for the Georgetown football team.

Friday night, the senior tossed four touchdown passes and rushed for another to lead the Royals to a convincing 44-8 victory over visiting Roxbury Prep. He finished his night 9-of-17 passing for 242 yards, and added another 39 yards on the ground on three carries. 

WINDHAM — Windham led by two scores heading into the fourth quarter, but defending Division 1 state champ Nashua North rallied for two late touchdowns to defeat the Jaguars 14-10 on Friday night.

METHUEN — For a few moments, it appeared a dramatic come-from-behind victory was nearly in Methuen's grasp.

Rangers quarterback Drew Eason hit Jason Silverio on a crossing pattern, the receiver was hit in the legs and somersaulted into the end zone for a 13-yard touchdown that gave Methuen a five-point lead with 5:41 left in the game.

PLAISTOW — Timberlane gave up its first points of the season ... but only after the Owls stormed to a 40-0 lead late in the first half. The 3-0 Owls performed a rarity with seven different players scoring one touchdown: four on the ground, one through the air, one on a punt return and one on an interception.

SALEM — Thanks in large part to senior With quarterback Nathan Campos, Pinkerton's football team put on a clinic Friday night.

A wing-T clinic.

With Campos running for three touchdowns while rushing for 81 yards on eight carries and passing for another, Pinkerton's offense was unstoppable in a surprising 49-21 pasting of host Salem.

NORTH SUTTON — Early in the first quarter Friday night, Kevin Bodenrader blocked a punt and Alex Carroll recovered it in the end zone for the touchdown. The onslaught had begun and Pelham led 52-0 early in the third quarter. The backups then got plenty of playing time as the Pythons (3-0) drubbed Kearsarge 52-8. Pelham carried 38 times for 193 yards and didn't attempt a single pass against the now 0-2 hosts. Jake Travis scored three times while Ethan Demmons scored twice. Pelham, which has outscored the opposition 154-21, hosts winless ConVal (0-3) Friday at 7 p.m. 

NASHUA — For the game's final five-plus minutes, Salem showed the offense that looked unstoppable just one week ago on the same field.

But, despite two late Aidan McDonald touchdowns, the Blue Devils couldn't overcome three costly turnovers inside the Bishop Guertin 25-yard line, falling to the Cardinals 17-14 on Saturday night at Stellos Stadium.

It may only be the first game of the season, but the Triton coaching staff already has their guys running the two-minute drill to perfection.

Trailing 20-15 with just under two minutes left in Friday night's season opener against Randolph, quarterback Max Ciaramitaro and the Vikings got the ball around their own 40-yard-line and started marching. The junior QB completed 5 of 8 passes on that final drive, and eventually connected with Ethan Tate on a 15-yard touchdown strike with 40 seconds left to put his team ahead.

ANDOVER — It was obvious to anybody watching Andover High football play last year that those two then-sophomore speeders, one at quarterback and the other at tailback, were on the verge of becoming very special.
