BC High leads St. John's Prep, 14-0, at the intermission here in Danvers.

The hosts had their scoring chances both early and late, but failed to put any points on the board.

In the first quarter, St. John's Prep took over at the BC High 47 after recovering a fumble, but turned the ball over on downs when BC High stopped sophomore George Sessoms on fourth-and-1.

BC High turned around and put points on the board immediately when Tom Duffy busted free on a 63-yard touchdown run for a 7-0 advantage with 1:47 to play in the first quarter.

BC High put together a 9-play, 69-yard scoring march in the second quarter that culminated with a 1-yard plunge by Kyle Ewanouski.

St. John's Prep advanced inside the BC High 10 with little more than three minutes to play in the half, but a dropped pass and a false start penalty helped short-circuit the drive. The hosts eventually turned the ball over on downs on an uncatchable pass to the back of the end zone.

Highlights are uploading of BC High's two scores.

More to come.
