And now, with two games still remaining in the regular season, the Marshfield High football team can savor its league crown after an impressive 10-6 win over visiting Falmouth last Friday, which was, fittingly Senior Night.

The team has been led by its senior class, said Marshfield coach Lou Silva, particularly on the offensive line. Four seniors - tackles Pete Scanlon (left) and Tom Pearl, and guards Mike Maher (left) and Bob Driscoll - flank junior center Jeff Wallace.

The players “knew if we lost even one game we probably wouldn’t win it,’’ Silva said after his Rams improved to 6-2 overall, 5-0 in the ACL. (Two losses early in the season came against non-league foes Dracut and Bridgewater-Raynham.) “It feels great,’’ Silva said. “I’m really happy for the kids, for the way they’ve played and come through in the crunch. It’s great for them.

“They’ve been jelling. The coaches listen to those kids. They’re the ones in the trenches. Every time we get a chance to talk to them, we ask them, ‘What’s going? What can go? What are you thinking?’ They’re dead on.’’

Driscoll said the entire line is aware of the playmakers on the team, specifically the running backs. “If we can make a hole,’’ he said, “they’re gonna score.’’ In the front five, the 6-foot-1, 200-pound Maher is a first-year starter and the 6-1, 250-pound Pearl moved from his center position last year.

“I started playing freshman year,’’ Pearl said. “But these guys have been great. Some have been playing for eight or nine years and they’ve really helped me out.’’

“They’re experienced kids,’’ Silva said. “They had a lot of exposure last year in the big games. They’re really not rookies, but they’re new to the starting lineup. They have experience and that’s huge. We listen to them when they suggest something.’’

Pearl explained that while he and his linemen have a basic idea of what they will face from opposing defenses, they are able to adjust, when necessary, during a game.

“We just try to say, ‘OK, , I’ll watch for this guy, you watch for him,’ ’’ Pearl said. “Sometimes it can be kind of complicated, but it all works out.’’

Silva doesn’t want to look ahead to next year, when 80 percent of his starting line will have graduated.

“Next year, it’s all brand new up front, except for center,’’ he said. “Hopefully, the outgoing seniors have done a good job with their protégés. We like to have the older kids take the younger kids under their wing and teach them everything they know.’’

As the youngest on the line as a junior center, Wallace said sometimes he feels a little bit of extra pressure to perform well, but once he “makes that first hit in the game,’’ that feeling disappears.

The Rams have a bye this week before playing at Sandwich next week; while the time off will be useful to recover from nagging injuries, or sickness, Scanlon said the team plans no layoff.

“We’re going to keep practicing, working hard, and prepare for Sandwich,’’ Scanlon said.

“We were up by three touchdowns right away . . . that’s hard to overcome,’’ said Stevenson, whose top-ranked Hawks improved to 8-0 with a 42-14 win.

“We were playing pretty good offensively. They would really have had to shut us down. It was a little bit of a surprise, but we played very well. Hopefully, that’s a sign of things to come.’’

After jumping up front 21-0 in the first quarter the Hawks never looked back. Joe Colton had two of the six Hawks touchdowns, including a 23-yard rush.

Stevenson was also quick to credit senior quarterback Alex Phelan for his game management, calling audibles when necessary.

“The playoffs begin this week as we go into league play again against BC High,’’ he said. “We have to win each week in order to continue to move forward.’’

Tomorrow night the Hawks head to BC High for a 7 p.m. game.
