Magicians end Beverly's hex
By Emily Wright, Globe Correspondent | November 2, 2008The Magicians' opening quarter wasn't an illusion, and the magic that followed broke long curse as Marblehead defeated Beverly for the first time in 18 years.
"I think it was our kids that finally realized we've had enough of four years with no one respecting us," Marblehead coach Doug Chernovetz said yesterday after his team's 33-30 victory. "They came out with an attitude to prove to this conference that they're a good football team. It was a great quarter for us."
Connor Carey, Hayes Richardson, and Sam Perlow each scored in the first quarter as Marblehead (5-3, 2-0 Northeastern Small) took a 21-0 lead.
The Panthers (6-2, 2-1) rallied in the fourth, scoring 23 points, but Marblehead hung on, scoring a touchdown and field goal to seal the win.
Beverly's Rashad Sims scored three touchdowns.

Look for updates from:
- Bob Holmes: A Reading resident (Go Rockets!) and Boston College graduate, Holmes is the Boston Globe High School Sports Editor. We remind you now that his weekly picks are often made in jest so everyone just calm down when he picks against Everett for 11 straight weeks.
- Mike Carraggi: An Everett native (Go Tide!), Mike attends Eastern Nazarene college and is entering his second year with the Globe. He'll focus on Division 1 this fall, which means he'll spend a lot of time in his hometown, which Forsberg thinks is cool because the Tide have that Fried Dough cart.
- Emily Wright: A Hyannis native (Go Barnstable Red Raiders!), Emily is a senior at Emerson College and has been with the Globe since the end of July. She'll cover Division 1A and will be the first intern we've trusted to navigate her way to Dennis-Yarmouth or any other school on the Cape.
- Mike Grossi: A Lexington native (Go Minutemen!), Mike attends Northeastern and has been with the Globe for two months. He'll cover Division 2 and 2A and unsuccessfully lobbied to include Lexington in the preseason Top 20.
- Jonathan Raymond: A native of Benicia, Calif. (a suburb of San Francisco), Jonathan attends Northeastern and has been working at the Globe since the end of June. He will be focusing on Division 3 and is likely woefully underprepared for covering a game in a foot of snow.
- David Carty: A native of West Bridgewater (Go Wildcats!), David is a senior at Emerson College and has been working at the Globe for a year. He'll cover Divisions 3A and 4 because, "small school ball is in my blood."
- The bench: You'll also catch updates from our regional contributors, including Globe North's Julian Benbow and South's Monique Walker. Correspondent Brendan Hall will have updates from the Globe West coverage area and will often try to sneak in Central Mass. news.
