New England Prep Stars Athlete of the Week:
Alex Eaton ‘12 Westford Academy (MA) Football

Posted: November 22 2011

Westford Academy running back Alex Eaton '12 has been a welcome addition this season for the Grey Ghosts. The senior ran for 261 yards and 4 TDs as Westford Academy defeated Boston Latin, 47-27, in a Dual County League football game last week.

The game was rescheduled during the Massachusetts high school football off week as a result of the storm a few weeks back.

Eaton scored on runs of 2, 70, 20 and 6 yards and now has rushed for 1,631 yards on the season.

Eaton and the Grey Ghosts will look to make it three games in a row on Turkey Day as they host Acton-Boxborough. Both teams are 6-4 on the season.

Eaton is also a star lacrosse player, who played the past three years at Bishop Guertin in Nashua, NH. The Westford native is committed to play lacrosse for Lehigh next year,
