D4 State Final: Nashoba 31, Dighton-Rehoboth 0.
Game was more competitive than the final score indicates, but no denying Nashoba deserves a second state title in four years. @GlobeSchools @nashobaADby Nate Weitzer via twitter 11/30/2018 11:50:01 PM -

North Andover (11-0) vs. King Philip (9-2)
What: Division 2 Super Bowl.
When: Friday, 7:30 p.m.
Streaming: NFHS Network.com.
AN INSIDE LOOK
Coaches: North Andover — John Dubzinski (fourth season, 53-35); King Philip — Brian Lee (14th season, 97-16).
Scoring: North Andover — 38.5 ppg; King Philip — 20.7 ppg.
Defense: North Andover — 11.3 ppg; King Philip — 10.6 ppg.
The heavies up front: North Andover — Raphael Usuomon (6-3, 250); King Philip — Nolan Gunning (6-4, 250).
Stat check: The North Andover quartet of senior quarterback Jake McElroy, senior wideouts Gabe DeSouza and Darren Watson, and junior running back Freddy Gabin has fueled one of the top-scoring attacks in the state. The four have combined for 62 touchdowns this season. The key component behind King Philip’s back-to-back state championships is defense. KP is back at Gillette looking for the three-peat and will rely heavily on junior Ryan Halliday on both sides of the ball.
The captains: North Andover — RB/S Darren Watson (Sr.), QB/S Jake McElroy (Sr.), TE/LB Ryan Slattery (Sr.), WR/S/K Gabe DeSouza (Sr.), C/LB Matthew Samenuk (Sr.); King Philip — LB Jack Webster (Sr.), RB Conor Galvin(Sr.), WR David Morganelli (Sr.).
Seniors on the roster: North Andover — 20; King Philip — 25.
Last Bowl appearance: North Andover — 1996; King Philip — 2017.
OUTLOOK
The Warriors have leaned on their defense time and time again. Still featuring one of the top units in the state, KP runs into a Scarlet Knight team that has been on a mission since Week 1. North Andover is explosive, so KP will face its stiffest test of the three bowls. It could be a long game if the Warriors can’t control the clock.
PREDICTION
Defense wins championships, right? And it certainly will Friday night — along with a high-flying offense. The Scarlet Knights have been just as explosive on the defensive side of the ball throughout the year, and that will again spill over to their offensive attack.
North Andover 28, King Philip 13
