Game Preview: Bristol-Plymouth (2-2), Friday 6:30

This Friday MV's Mayflower Large schedule kicks into gear with Bristol-Plymouth heading to the Rock. B-P hasn't defeated the Vineyarders in a decade, so they are always motivated to break that streak. B-P's record sits at 2-2 with wins over Greater New Bedford and Diman Voke. Losses were to Holbrook/Avon (12-2) and South Boston. It appears it's a rebuilding situation with new coach John Parris, as Bill Moan retired last year. They will have a totally different look on both sides of the ball.

The Craftsmen had a bizarre win last week against Diman - who thought they had the game won when time expired on the scoreboard clock with the Bengals ahead. Diman swarmed and celebrated heartily on the field - BUT the scoreboard was not the official clock, and B-P's Tim Rose scored two plays later to give the win to B-P. B-P had 233 yards offense in the first half, but also over 50 in penalties. They blocked a kick, and successfully recovered an onside kick. With a new program, the Craftsmen have nothing to lose and will be willing to take gambles.

Gametime is 6:30 at McCarthy Field. JV play a rare home game at 3:30.

This week's schedule:
Blue Hills @ Southeastern, Sat. - MLL matchup
Charlestown @ South Shore, Fri.
Bishop Connelly @ Cape Tech, Sat. - MLL matchup
Diman Voke @ Nantucket, Fri.

MV 28, Holbrook/Avon 14
OCT 3, HOLBROOK — Quarterback Mike McCarthy led the Vineyarders past Holbrook/Avon in a nonleague clash.

McCarthy sandwiched scoring runs of 20 and 2 yards around a score by the home side as the first quarter ended 14-6 in favor of MV (3-1).

McCarthy had a second-quarter score from the 6. He finished with 17 rushes for 152 yards, 135 in the first half.

The sun came out, but the third quarter was scoreless before the Bulldogs (2-1) pulled within a score with a 2-point conversion of its second touchdown of the day.

The Vineyard put it away by scoring on an option play. McCarthy went the first 15 yards down the sideline before pitching to Nick Gross, who finished the 49-yard scoring play. Brooks Billingham then kicked his fourth extra point.

The defense had a plethora of heroes (Cape Cod Times words - not webfoot's!) with Cody Brewer recording a sack and an interception to cap a great defensive day. He also assisted on nine tackles.

Erik Dolliver made seven unassisted tackles and assisted on six more. Matt Costello had four unassisted and three assisted tackles while breaking up four pass plays.
