WAKEFIELD — Quarterback Shamil Diaz (21-259) and running back Maleek Dejesus (17-124) controlled the clock and Greater Lawrence earned a big season-opening win over Wakefield.
The Reggies had the clock approximately 10 minutes on a fourth-quarter drive which didn't result in points but sealed the win.
The senior Diaz scored in the second (21 runs) and added the game-winner in the third quarter, a 34-yard run to tie it and the winning rush. Earlier in the third, Franklyn Espinal's tackle in the end zone resulted in a safety.
Linebackers Espinal (sack, safety, 5 tackles) and Dejesus (4 tackles) and defensive end Jeremy Rizzo (sack, 4 tackles) led the defense.
The offensive line played a huge role. The big guys up front were center Adrian Javier, guards Nate Quirindongo and Rizzo, and tackles Benedict Nouel and Victor Cuesta.
The Reggies host North Reading Friday at 4 p.m.
