Three days after the fact, there's still a buzz going around the Doucette Field locker room about the Tewksbury High football team's unthinkable 38-28 upset win over previosuly unbeaten Andover High School this past Saturday. School records are hard to come by, but TMHS coach Brian Aylward is ranking senior running back Chris Bettano's 249-yard, three touchdown rushing effort as one of the best single-game performances he's ever seen in his 15 years as Tewksbury's head coach.

Halback Chris Bettano led a relentless attack for Tewksbury, carrying the ball 21 times for 249 yards and three touchdowns. He had seven runs of 15 yards or more and four of better than 25 yards.
