Walpole 41, Needham 7 — Ryan Izzo scored five touchdowns as the Rebels won easily. The senior back is 4 points away from tying the state scoring record. Walpole plays unbeaten Natick next week.

What's more, Izzo pulled off the feat sick. He was allegedly puking on the sideline through the game.

Also, Doug Flutie stopped by to check out the game. He told the Globe his brother helps out with the Natick team.

Here's the scoring summary:

Walpole - 7 28 6 0 - 41
Needham - 0 7 0 0 - 7

First quarter
W - Ryan Izzo, 60 yard rush (Izzo kick)

Whittier 30, Manchester Essex 16 — A Nate Allen run followed by a fumble recovery in the endzone had Whittier on top, 16-0, after three quarters. A wild fourth quarter ended with Whittier a winner, 30-16.
