Mansfield, 14-3 (late)

By Chris Forsberg, Boston.com Staff

Mansfield's Mike Morrill scored on a 39-yard touchdown run off an inside reverse and the Hornets lead rival Foxboro, 7-3, late in the second quarter of their scrimmage at the Hockomock Jamboree.

Mansfield endured a pair of three-and-outs to start the game, but watched quarterback Mark Gilson complete a 13-yard pass to Davis Westhaver on third-and-10 from the Hornets' 30 to finally move the chains. Three plays later, Morrill streaked into the end zone.

Both teams have their second teams in now. The Hornets tacked on a short touchdown run after a long pass to increase their lead.

Foxboro dominated time of possession over the first 12 minutes of play and Ali Mourtada boomed a 34-yard field goal for a 3-0 advantage with 9:34 remaining in the scrimmage.

The Warriors, despite the deficit, have proven this is anything but a rebuilding year.
