We're uploading second-half scoring highlights and then postgame reaction from Tewksbury coach Brian Aylward. Click the link above to watch both clips as they become available.

Unbelievable effort by Tewksbury today. The offense looked as good as any we've seen this season (dare we call it, Patriot like) as the Redmen moved the ball into the end zone or red zone on its first four drives of the game and eight of their 10 possessions overall (scoring on six of them).

Unofficially, quarterback Chris Texiera finished 8 of 11 passing for 181 yards and 3 TDs. Derek Lowe added 118 yards on 20 carries and scored a pair of short-yardage touchdowns in the odd-numbered quarters.

The Tewksbury win leaves Chelmford with a two-game cushion atop the Merrimack Valley Conference. A triumph next week over Dracut puts the Lions through to the postseason and ensures sole possession of the conference crown (a victory over Billerica on Thanksgiving Day would do the same).

More highlights to come later today.

(Many thanks to our eagled-eye readers who spotted our mistake in the headline earlier. It was indeed Billerica that Tewksbury throttled, not Chelmsford.
