Xaverian overcame a 17-0 deficit to come back and defeat CM (25-17) in OT. Cooper DeVeau, who scores the game-winning TD, said: “We always say the Catholic Conference and D1 South runs through Clapboardtree St. We want to keep that going and prove we’re the best team every week.”

My recap tonight from Sudbury, where @FinnMurray11 and @VicOtero19 wrote their own chapter in one of the best-ever endings of one of the state's most storied football rivalries 👇
Regardless of what the ruling is, that was one hell of a play by Delvon Randall at the pylon to pick off Anthony Brown. Jackie Bradley Jr. couldn't have taken a better line to the ball.
7-7 Tempe. Ryquell Armstead sprints straight up the A-gap unscathed, breaks one arm tackle in the secondary and is off to the races for 75-yard TD. Have the feeling this could be a track meet. 7:58 1Q @FieldLevelMedia
BC elects to re-kick after Temple is offsides, immediately regrets it as they fumble away the kick off that Isaiah Graham-Mobley scoops up for a TD. They're reviewing it, but if this stands it would be 15th straight game for Temple with a non-offensive TD.
Brown finds Smith streaking across the middle of the field out of a bunch formation for a 16-yard TD, but the XP kick fails. Nothing's coming up Pollyanna for the Eagles' special teams unit today. 14-13 Temple 4:07 1Q @FieldLevelMedia
Remarkable catch by Ventrell Bryant, PI and all, to set up 1-yard plunge by Ryquell Armstead, his second of the day. 21-13 Temple, 6:46 2Q @FieldLevelMedia
Touchdown BC. AJ Dillon hits an outside gap on a stretch left and is off to the races for 52-yard score. 2-point pass to Tommy Sweeney, running a go out of a bunch, is good and we are all tied at 21 with 4:25 left in first half. @FieldLevelMedia
Gotta say one of my favorite traditions here at Alumni Stadium is when the student section sings "Mr. Brightside". You young bucks don't understand what an all-time banger that was in my college days. It was everywhere, 24/7. Halcyon days of youth.
BC's Taj-Amir Torres, pride of Amherst, with the interception and run-back to the Temple 9. Got absolutely lit up by Chris Myarick at end of play and now we're gonna have a targeting review, because Lord knows we haven't had enough of those this afternoon.
Touchdown BC. Dillon 2-yard plunge after Torres' interception return gave the Eagles first and goal at the 5 following targeting call. BC back ahead 28-21, 2:59 2Q @FieldLevelMedia
Gally with his second rushing touchdown of the day for Marblehead - this one from two yards out. Kick is good. 13-0 Magicians 3:59 left in the first half
Another Yeoman's afternoon for AJ Dillon. 25 car 147 yards 2 TD in the first half. Temple's Ryquell Armstead over the century mark (10 car 115 yd 2 TD) as well.
AJ Dillon is down, looks like something with his left ankle. Another significant loss for BC if he's out for an extended period of this game @FieldLevelMedia
