GEORGETOWN — Eleven plays (10 on the ground by four different players), 60 yards, 6:45 off the clock. Those were the impressive numbers from Manchester Essex’s game-winning drive yesterday morning at Georgetown High School.

HAMILTON — Things can change in a heartbeat. 

After looking poised to score with just over a minute and a half left in the fourth quarter in a tie game against Hamilton Wenham, a costly Georgetown fumble gave the ball back to the Generals who marched down the field in just six plays to kick the game-winning field goal with just five seconds left.

GEORGETOWN — The Georgetown and Ipswich football teams met yesterday with a combined record of 0-11.

The Royals collected their first victory, posting a 28-13 victory at Georgetown High. Georgetown senior captain Chris Esposito notched his second straight game in which he had 100-plus yards rushing and 100-plus yards passing. He completed 9 of 20 passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns. He also had 19 carries for 100 yards and two rushing touchdowns.

PEABODY — Despite a career best game for Georgetown quarterback Chris Esposito, the Royals fell to a run-heavy Bishop Fenwick team 33-15. 

Although a Georgetown quarterback last named Esposito putting up impressive numbers is not new to the Georgetown faithful, it was the first name that was different against Fenwick. After playing fullback for two seasons behind his older brother Joe, Chris Esposito made the conversion to qb look easy as he threw for 99 yards and a touchdown pass on 10-14 passing while the fullback inside him came alive as well, bulling over defenders for 128 yards rushing most of them comming between the tackles.

AMESBURY — Amesbury stacked up Georgetown quarterback Chris Esposito inside the Amesbury 1-yard-line with 3:10 remaining in the fourth quarter, effectively sealing a 3-0 victory at Landry Stadium. “You can’t get any better than winning on a goal-line stand,” Amesbury coach Thom Connors said. “They pushed us right to the goal-line, but we did what we needed to do.” Amesbury (1-3) dominated possession in the first half, running 32 offensive plays to Georgetown’s 10. Amesbury opened the game with a nine-play, 40-yard drive, which ended when Nick Croce missed a 46-yard field goal attempt. Three plays later, the Royals (0-4) fumbled on their own 39.

GEORGETOWN — While improvement from a first week blowout was immediately evident, the final result was the same for Georgetown.

The Royals squandered a 13-point second-half advantage before dropping a non-league game 21-13 to Shawsheen yesterday afternoon. It was the first victory in three outings this season for the Rams.

GEORGETOWN — There just was not a lot to like through three quarters for Georgetown.
