Salmon runs for 4 TDS
The streak continues for the Nashoba Regional football team.
The Wolves made it 15 straight victories over Clinton on Thursday as the host Wolves cruised to a 47-19 victory over the Gaels on the annual Cataldi/tucker Classic in Bolton.
Nashoba ends the season riding a two-game win streak and finishes with a 5- 6 overall record while Clinton wraps up at 6-4.
“This is one of the toughest Clinton teams we’ve faced in quite a while, we knew it would be a tough game,” said Nashoba head coach Andy Leblanc. “Our boys were pumped up and ready to play today.”
Clinton had no answer for senior running back Connor Salmon. The Nashoba Most Valuable Player award recipient ran for four touchdowns in the contest as the Wolves opened a 13-7 lead after the first quarter and the hosts never looked back.
Nashoba enjoyed a 27-13 lead at the half and showed no signs of slowing down in the second half as it added three more touchdowns in the final 24 minutes to seal the deal.
Nashoba quarterback James Borsari was named offensive MVP for his two-touchdown performance. The senior signal caller tossed touchdown passes to teammates Michael Guthrie and Giorgio Didomenico to help Nashoba’s cause.
Wolves senior linebacker Malone Duhain was named Wolves defensive MVP for his impressive performance in Thursday’s victory.
