LAWRENCE — Central Catholic’s Trae Musumarra never dreamt the ball would be coming his way.

“I was just supposed to block on the play,” said Musumarra. “Then, there was no one there to block and I just looked up and was staring at the football. I had no idea how I got out there.”

LAWRENCE – Maybe it was all the emotion wrapped up in last week’s grudge match with Methuen.

Maybe it was just too much Nick LaSpada.

METHUEN - Emotion spurs greatness.

The Central Catholic-Methuen athletic rivalry has been forged on that premise.

Last night before a packed house of about 2,000 at Nicholson Stadium, Cal Carroll, Raudy Minaya and the Rangers chiseled out their own chapter in this history matchup, rally from nine points down in a frenzied final 12 minutes.

CHELMSFORD - If you took the time to slather some relish and mustard on your hot dog between quarters 1 and 2, you probably missed it.

Central Catholic's second quarter eruption was that quick and twice as lethal.

LAWRENCE - You get the feeling that when Mike Yameen rekindled this dormant intra city rivalry with Central Catholic five years ago, this kind of night was what he had in mind.

Great crowd of about 2,000, spirited student sections from both sides, vicious, clean hitting between the teams, just the football dream at Veterans Memorial Stadium.

LOWELL — Lowell did a good job scouting for last night’s Merrimack Valley Conference matchup with Central Catholic.

However, Central did a better job of adjusting, the result being a 21-0 shutout for the Raiders (5-1), who won their fifth straight game.

HAVERHILL — Before most of the fans had settled in their seats, Andrew Ouellette had all but closed out a victory for Central Catholic.

After just 4:14 of play, Ouellette had rushed for one touchdown and returned an interception for another, and he added a third score by the end of the first quarter as the Raiders downed Haverhill 44-14 last night.

TEWKSBURY- Over the first three weeks, Central Catholic football fans saw what the victor in the preseason quarterback battle, Andrew Ouellette, could do.
