Wins set up Masco-Gloucester showdown

Just five days before they meet in the playoffs, Masconomet and Gloucester had some business to take care of yesterday.

Gloucester dispatched Danvers, 37-10, with the running game powering the Fishermen. Ross Carlson had two touchdowns in the first half and another in the third. Conor Ressel and Taylor Burbine also scored.

Masconomet had a seemingly easy game against rival North Andover. However, the Chieftains found themselves trailing in the second quarter.

Evan Bunker got Masco on the board with a 20-yard touchdown rush, but after a Zac Iavonella 1-yard touchdown rush, the game was tied.

From that point, Masco took over. Nick Salvo booted a 43-yard field goal and Chris Splinter rushed for three scores and Masconomet won, 31-7.
