Bishop Fenwick’s football team fell behind early on Saturday and couldn’t claw its way back against host Bishop Feehan (Attleborough). The final score favored the Shamrocks, 31-7. Lincoln Dugan connected with wideout Jesse Timson for a 60-yard touchdown on a trick play to cut Feehan’s lead to 14-7 in the second half, but that would be it for the Crusaders.

The Tanners came out of the gates strong, scoring the first goal of the game thanks to a strike from Omar Mishal, assisted by Kacper Kowalczyk. The Panthers responded, however, and scored three unanswered goals before halftime to make it 3-1.
Mishal scored in the second half – this one from Jayden Lopez – to create a two-goal deficit. Unfortunately for Peabody, the gap was too big and Beverly walked away with the road win.
