Flyer 6th Grade Football Pounces on Weymouth

By Varun Tekur

Framingham’s defense came out with a bang to start the game by stifling the Wildcats in four plays.

The Flyers then took possession at the Weymouth 29-yard line but lost the ball on a fumble soon after.

Still, tough defense, including tackles by Timothy Sullivan and Jacques Cazeau, helped Framingham control the Weymouth offense. The tie was broken in late in the first quarter when Samuel Delaney had a 9-yard touchdown run for the Flyers.

Instead of allowing Weymouth to tie the game, Framingham executed a smart onside kick and regained possession. However, the Flyers couldn’t score during the rest of the half, and Weymouth’s touchdown pass late in the second quarter made the score 6-6 at halftime.

To begin the second half, Framingham had a drive that took lots of time off of the clock and resulted in a touchdown.

Running backs Cody Coleman and Joey Balboni ran through the Weymouth defense while the offensive line blocked well for them. Eventually, Coleman had a 47-yard touchdown run where he broke several tackles, making the score 13-6.

It wasn’t long before Framingham’s lead increased to 19-6 with the help of Jacques Cazeau’s 50-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown.

Marcus O’Brien also had a fumble recovery as the Flyer defense continued to dominate.

Later, Alexander Lopez had a long 20-yard run and a short 7-yard touchdown run to begin the 4th quarter.

The score remained the same for rest of the game and the Flyers won 25-6.
