Tewksbury's Ground Game Does It Again [video]

Redmen prove they are for real with a convincing, 21-6 win over Central Catholic.

A week ago, it was a shocking upset. Maybe now, it's time for the rest of the Merrimack Valley Conference to take the Tewksbury High Redmen seriously. For the second straight week, the TMHS football team invited one of the MVC's super powers to visit Doucette Field on Saturday. And for the second straight week, they sent their guests home with their tails between their legs. This week's victim was Central Catholic High School, which brought a stingy defense and a 2-1 record to town, only to watch the Redmen roll up 237 yards rushing on their way to a convincing, 21-6 beat down of the Raiders.

Tewksbury's offense failed to muster even a single first down in the first two periods, while Lincoln-Sudbury systematically built a 14-0 halftime lead. The TMHS offense …

DCL Invitation Begs Many Questions

Tewksbury coaches react with mixed emotions to Dual County League acceptance.

The reality of Tewksbury High's impending move to the Dual County League started to sink in around Tewksbury High on Tuesday, and reactions were somewhat restrained in the face of numerous questions surrounding the move. Athletic directors from the 10 existing DCL schools will meet with athletic directors from the four new invitees -- Tewksbury, North Andover, Chelmsford and Billerica -- on May 23 to begin discussing how the transition will take place. "It's still a huge process for us in trying to figure it all out and make sure it's the right move and the right fit," said TMHS Athletic Director Brian Hickey.
