One team comes in riding the wave of a dramatic win. The other is looking to bounce back following a tough loss.But when St. Mary’s and Saugus take the field on Saturday (11) at Stackpole Field in Saugus, those facts are probably going to go out the window.”It’s a nice little rivalry that we have,” Saugus coach Mike Broderick said. “There are a lot of Saugus kids on the St. Mary’s team, so there is still a lot of bragging rights in the town.”The Sachems come in on the back of a 35-32 win against a challenging Newburyport team last week. Saugus’ punishing ground attack accumulated 361 yards on 58 carries and accounted for all five touchdowns.Three of those scores came from Mike Dean, who won the Item’s Offensive Player of the Week award for his 136-yard effort. Dean may not be the biggest back in the Northeastern Conference, but according to Broderick, he gets all he can from that frame.”Mike is not a big kid, but he runs hard and is determined to get yards,” Broderick said.Quarterback Bret Reid also was immense, rushing for 82 yards and a touchdown. He also converted a fourth down in Sachem territory late in the game that allowed Saugus to run out the clock.But the biggest thing Broderick was pleased with last week is how his team reacted in a close game that went back and forth to the end.”This is the first time that we’ve had a senior-oriented team and they were able to weather the storm,” Broderick said. “We have a lot of veterans and they led us through.”Broderick also knows that the Spartans will be looking to get back on the right track after their tough loss to Classical.”It’s unfortunate for them that they had to open against Classical,” Broderick said. “We know that they have some talented kids and some skilled athletes. And Matt (Durgin) is one of the best coaches I had to go against when I was the defensive coordinator for Saugus.”St. Mary’s (0-1) will try to rebound from a loss to the Rams that saw them gain only 77 yards in total offense. And going against an option attack that can put up points in a hurry definitely has the attention of Durgin.”They are a true option team and (Reid) does a great job in that system,” Durgin said. “It’s assignment football and we have to be very disciplined and do a better job of tackling.”Durgin also knows that his team is going up against a club that many people see as contenders for the NEC South title.”They are physical on defense and will hit you,” Durgin said. “And you can’t have breakdowns against them on offense or they will take it to the house.”Classical at BeverlyAt Hurd Stadium (1), the Rams (0-1) got the Tim Phelps era off to a nice start as they rattled off 41 unanswered points to beat St. Mary’s in their opener. Six different players found the end zone as Classical racked up 388 yards of total offense.The Panthers (1-0) struggled to move the ball at times in their opening win against English, gaining 175 yards of offense, but it was the defense that was the story. Three times, Beverly was able to turn aside the Bulldogs in the red zone, while Rashad Sims rushed for 126 yards and the game’s only score in the second quarter.Revere at SwampscottAt Blocksidge Field (noon), the Big Blue (0-1) were in position to win late in the fourth quarter against Winchester, but the Sachems rallied for 13 unanswered points, capped by Matt Mangano’s two-yard run in the final seconds.Chris Cameron was outstanding in his first start at quarterback for Swampscott, throwing for 239 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing for 66 yards and another score. Steve Moran caught four balls for 108 yards and a score.Revere (1-0) used a 19-point second quarter to dispatch former Greater Boston League rival Medford, 26-6. Paul DiPlatzi showed the form that had him as one of the better backs in the NEC before being injured last season, rushing for a pair of scores.John Pedersen caught a touchdown pass and Trae Weathers added a touchdown run.Georgetown at LynnfieldAt Lynnfield Middle School (11), t
