More football headlines:

Latin Academy blanks Brighton

As the sunlight faded on a blustery day at White Stadium, so did Brighton’s chances of clinching a Boston South title and securing a trip to the playoffs.

Natick gets by Wildcats

The Weymouth Wildcats came out with a statement to make last night against undefeated and fifth-ranked Natick: they weren’t going down without a fight.

Cohasset moves step closer to crown

One step at a time. That’s Cohasset’s mind-set right now when it comes to clinching the South Shore League title.

LA, BB&N set for showdown

Belmont Hill was the only thing standing in the way of Lawrence Academy’s rematch with undefeated BB&N next week that will decide the ISL championship.

L-S spoils A-B celebration

Michael Sylvia missed school Wednesday and Thursday with a 100-degree fever, and was still feeling the effects of his illness yesterday at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional.

Dighton-Rehoboth passes Fairhaven test

After Fairhaven took an 8-0 lead with six minutes remaining in the first half last night, Dighton-Rehoboth coach Dave Driscoll knew the importance of his team’s next series.

Hawks topple Eagles

Last season’s No. 1 team gave this year’s top squad a run for its money, but in the end, a strong second-half performance by Xaverian resulted in a 14-6 Catholic Conference victory over BC High at Viola Stadium.

Abington has a fifth sense

A matchup of undefeated teams that feature explosive offenses, stout defenses, and game-changing running backs is compelling enough. Add in the fact that the winner has the inside track on the South Shore League title, and Abington’s trip to Cohasset tonight goes down as the teams’ biggest game of the season.

High 5 Miles Comeau, Blue Hills: The sophomore fullback provided all the scoring in the Warriors’ 12-0 Mayflower Large win over South Shore Voc-Tech, churning out 119 yards rushing and both touchdowns.

The goal was at the top of their priority list in the preseason: Win the Atlantic Coast League title.

Speed is key to Natick’s roaring 8-0 start

Natick High is playing with a swagger, not overly boisterous, but reflective of a team brimming with confidence and excelling week to week.

Whittier Regional hungry for a return to Div. 4 Super Bowl

When Whittier Regional Vocational Tech coach Kevin Bradley refers to the players on his offensive and defensive lines as “the babies,’’ he makes sure to clarify: He’s only referencing their age, not their play.

High Five

Mike Cross, Northeast: The senior linebacker turned in a dominating performance in the Golden Knights’ 20-0 win over the Minutemen, recording six sacks and 10 tackles.

A loss in court for Dorchester Pop Warner squad

Struggling to preserve their program and national prominence as a Pop Warner power, the Dorchester Eagles yesterday lost a preliminary legal effort to permit their undefeated Midget team to compete for local, regional, and national titles.

Results a treat for Halloween stars

The stars from a scary weekend. Division 1 Jon Williams, New Bedford - Williams scored four times, twice through the air and twice on the ground, in addition to rushing for 233 yards in the Whalers’ 39-12 win over Cambridge.

Whittier has common sense

HAVERHILL - The Commonwealth Athletic Conference had two of its best on display yesterday, but only one team was going to wake up this morning with dreams of an undefeated season intact.

Another test, another victory for Xaverian

WESTWOOD - Yesterday’s battle of Massachusetts superpowers was more than just a bout between two undefeated teams.

Izzo carries Rebels

Ryan Izzo returned to the football field yesterday, much to the disappointment of Braintree. After missing last week to rest an injured ankle, Walpole’s Izzo returned in a big way, running for 172 yards on 14 carries, scoring four touchdowns, and adding six extra points in a 42-7 win over Bay State rival Braintree. The 30 points gives him 643 ...

Natick drops Needham

NEEDHAM - The Natick offense steamrolled cross-division and conference rival Needham last night in a 35-0 victory. The Red and Blue managed to work the ball on both sides, scoring once on a Brian Lewis interception and getting set up at the Needham 12-yard line on another pick.

GLOUCESTER - The old saying states that offense wins games, but defense wins championships. Gloucester excelled at both last night at Newell Stadium, overwhelming Lynn English, 48-7, in a record-setting, pivotal Northeastern Conference Large showdown.
