Video: Lawrence Academy beats BB&N
Highlights from Lawrence Academy's 28-26 win over BB&N.
Some quick notes about this game:
— It was a thriller. BB&N took it down to the final possession after scoring two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to come within two points (the final score of 28-26). They had an opportunity to win the game, with 2:28 left on the clock and the ball to make things interesting. After a couple of do-nothing plays and then a first down, the Knights were called for holding on a running play that would've given them a first down on third and 1. Knights coach John Papas exploded after the game about the call.
Here are the quotes taken by correspondent Brendan Hall after the game (You can read his game story here.):
It was the worst call I’ve ever seen in my 32 years of coaching. Number one the judgment, it was a holding call behind the play supposedly. Now that I’ve had chance, we immediately watched the tape, it was a 100-percent clean cut block by our left guard – 100 percent clean. I’ve been coaching for 32 years and I’ve never complained about a call publicly, but I will now. It was a disgrace – you can quote me – It’s a disgrace that a call like that took away our chance, our chance to win the football game. We are talking about the ISL championship. The kids had a chance to win. We’re not talking about a pass interference call, we’re talking about a backside supposed holding call. I am going go to (the) league commissioner about it. All the effort of these kids put in in their four years, and it comes down to a call like that. I take nothing away from Lawrence Academy. They are a fine, great football team who played well enough to win. We just wanted a chance at end to win.

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.
