LYNN – Youth served the St. Mary’s High football team well Saturday in a 30-6 win over Archbishop Williams at Manning Field.Freshmen accounted for three of the Spartans’ four touchdowns with running back Nick Day reeling in a 33-yard pass for one touchdown and running for 47 yards on another. Freshman Todd Collier also stepped up with a 17-yard touchdown run that put St. Mary’s on the board late in the first quarter.”This was a very good game for us to win,” St. Mary’s coach Matt Durgin said. ‘The young players really stepped up tonight. They made several big plays.”Junior running back Tim Ray also had a monster game, grinding out 133 yards rushing on nine carries, and the defense came up big, holding Williams to only 75 yards rushing on 23 carries and 76 yards passing on four receptions.”I thought the defense play well all night,” Durgin said. “This was our best defensive game of the year.”The Spartans are 4-4, 1-2 in the Catholic Central League.St. Mary’s got on the board first after Williams gambled and lost on fourth-and-seven from the St. Mary’s 42 on the first drive of the game. The Spartans took over on downs and marched 58 yards down field, the drive culminating in a 17-yard touchdown run by Collier. The Spartans tried to shoot themselves in the foot a couple of times along the way (three penalties set them back 20 yards), but LaMothe (4-for-6, 116 yards) offset the mistakes with a 47-yard pass to Day (2 catches for 80 yards) that put St. Mary’s on the Archbishop Williams 20. Three plays later, Collier scored and Ray ran in the conversion for a 8-0 lead.Archbishop Williams rolled out a couple of weapons on its next drive. Quarterback Dan Varasso took his team 58 yards down the field with a 12-yard pass to Zach DuRoss putting the Bishops into St. Mary’s territory. Three plays later, Varasso found DuRoss again with a 39-yard pass that DuRoss ran in for the touchdown. The conversion pass failed, but the Bishops had closed the gap to 8-6.The Spartans dodged a bullet on their next possession when they fumbled and DuRoss scooped up the ball and ran it back 50 yards. Day caught up with him just in time to save the touchdown, but the Bishops found themselvs sitting pretty on first-and-goal at the three.St. Mary’s came up with its best defensive stand of the night at that point, stopping Williams four times. Tim Carnevale slammed the door shut on the drive when he felled Sean Provenzano, the Bishops’ leading rusher, on fourth-and-goal at the two.The Spartans got the ball back and went four-and-out. Archbishop Williams did the same, but the punt rolled all the way to the two, burying St. Mary’s deep in its own territory with 3:33 left in the half.The Spartans might have been content to go into the lockerroom at the half with an 8-6 lead, but why settle? They steamrolled back into Williams territory with LaMothe’s 34-yard pass to Tim Morris chewing up the bulk of the real estate. LaMothe delivered his team to the 33, but he only had 9.7 seconds left to reach the end zone. Not a problem. With time running out, he threw a 33-yard pass to Day in the end zone, completing the 98-yard drive. The conversion pass failed, but St. Mary’s led 14-6 at the half.Ray supplied the juice in the second half, breaking a 60-yard run to put the Spartans on the 19-yard line. A couple of plays later, Day barreled in from four yards out and LaMothe ran in the conversion for a 22-6 lead.Ray did it again on the Spartans next drive with a 46-yard run that put the Spartans on the doorstep (the three) again. He capped the drive with a one-yard touchdown run and Ryan Barrows ran for two for the 30-6 final.Although happy with the win, Durgin said there are still plenty of things to work on.”There are a lot of things we have to clean up,” he said, referring to all the penalties. “We need to continue to improve.St. Mary’s rushed for 42 yards rushing 37 carries.
