OUTLOOK
Holliston’s spread attack faces Austin Prep’s diverse ground game. The potent Panthers are led by quarterback Sean Mayo, who has 19 TD passes. The Cougars use a multitude of runners to get the job done. The key will be the performances by the defenses. Holliston has to make sure to get Austin Prep off the field and Austin Prep has to limit the Panthers’ big-play ability.
PREDICTION
The only question here is, will there be separate parades in Reading for each Super Bowl winning school, or just one big one? Austin Prep will shut down Holliston’s high-powered offense.
