A Number Of Ways To Look At Old Rochester Vs Stoneham

When Old Rochester and Stoneham kick off Saturday at 3:30 p.m. (give or take) in the Division 6 Super Bowl at Gillette, a number of factors could come into play. Here are some of those numbers.

Old Rochester (11-0) is rested and ready, having played just one game in the last three weeks. ORR is one of three undefeated teams left in state along with North Andover and Pope John.

Stoneham (11-1) had one shutout this fall, ORR had four, including three straight to open the season.

Spartans' senior running back Christos Argyropoulos scored 206 points on 32 TDs, combined with his seven conversion runs. He's the only player in the state who scored more than 200 points this fall.

Seth Russell is close behind with 142 points on 20 TDs and 11 conversion runs.

Desmond Dias leads ORR in scoring with 86 points including 14 touchdowns. Tyler Noe added 11 TDs and Will Garcia had 10, including three on Thanksgiving. Garcia missed six games with an ankle injury and if his 184 yards rushing on Thanksgiving mean anything he's fully healthy now. While Stoneham rarely kicks an extra point, ORR usually does with Ryan Thomas booting a Division 6 best 33 extra points.

Old Rochester is a running team but quarterback Cole McIntyre has thrown 11 touchdown passes, 8 to Noe. Stoneham is really, really, really a running team but the element of surprise has led to quarterback Deshaun Chase throwing five TD passes. ORR defensive backs can't fall asleep or Stoneham's coaches will notice and go for the home run to Russell.

Offensively the Bulldogs average 34.5 ppg. On defense, they allow 10.5 ppg.
