Call it the calm before the storm. Welcome to Friday night football with great matchups across the state. Stick with us for:


1. Abington 21, Hull 7 final: Less than a minute into the quarter, senior captain Kristian LaPointe scored on a 1-yd run and kicked the extra point to put the Green Wave ahead, 7-0. And, with less than a minute until the half, senior Ian Campbell scores on a 9-yard run. LaPointe kicks the extra point for a 14-0 score at halftime. There was no scoring in the third quarter. An 80-yard drive by Hull results in a touchdown by Dan Shea in the fourth quarter. Mark Mainini kicks the extra point. 14-7, Abington. With a minute left to play Andrew Crosta hits LaPointe with a 15-yard pass in the back right corner of the endzone. LaPointe hits the extra, and the final score is 21-7 Abington.
2. Methuen 14, Andover 7 final: Two Cal Carroll scoring runs led the Rangers past host Andover.
3. Needham 18, Weymouth 8 final: Kevin Cray has all three touchdowns as the Rockets jumped out to a 18-0 lead after one half and never looked back.
4. Scituate 21, Whitman-Hanson 16 final: Morgan Billings had two touchdowns and the Sailors held on for the Patriot League win.
5. King Philip 28, North Attleboro 20 final: Brandon Howard's TD pass has KP on the board but Dylan Rayburg has answered for the Bombardiers. In the second quarter, Joe Kummer's TD pass gave NA the lead but KP came back to tie the score at the half on another Howard TD pass. In the second half Howard threw another TD pass and ran for the final score.
