Chelmsford, Tewksbury and Lexington Roll
Posted on September 17th 2010
Chelmsford 13 Acton Boxboro 0
The Chelmsford Lions used a heavy dose of running back Joe Gennaro and a stellar defensive effort to shutout the Acton-Boxboro Colonials Thursday night at home. The game was a low scoring defensive battle that suited Chelmsford just fine.
"I thought we played well. The offensive line really stepped it up this week and the defense played well. We played a complete game on both sides of the ball."Gennaro said.
Their all-leagyue defenders, DB Zach Hayes and LB Tim Joy, made the plays when it counted as Hayes (1 fumble return for TD and 1 INT) made the play of the game in the first half when he knocked the ball loose and picked it up for a score on the AB 1. Joy also made a huge interception in the third quarter as AB was starting to mount a drive. The junior Midlle Linebacker was all over the field as usual making countless tackles.
When asked about the impact the carries are taking on his body Gennaro explained, "I am a little sore but it is well worth it. I love coming out here everyday with these guys."
Gennaro and the Chelmsford Lions host Haverhill next Friday night at 7 p.m under the lights.
