ACTON — Driving for the potential winning score, Methuen turned the ball over and Acton-Boxboro marched for an insurance touchdown.
A-B won the non-playoff game 28-18.
"Our kids played very tough," said Methuen coach Tom Ryan.
But the turnover with about four minutes left at the A-B 25 was a killer.
Junior Kendrick DeNose had a big game with two touchdown runs and a 15-yard TD pass to Nick Comerford. DeNose rushed for 80 yards and Jake Amodio rushed for 75.
The defense held A-B in check most of the way and Methuen led 18-14 after three quarters.
"Sean Nickerson our middle linebacker played a great game," said Ryan.
Comerford anchored the line while Tim Michelini (interception) and Abimelec Gonzalez (fumble recovery) also earned praise.
Methuen (3-7) is off until Thanksgiving when it hosts Dracut.
