Resilient Adamo lifts Lynnfield
Tyler Adamo’s first pass attempt of the game was intercepted by Amesbury. As the host Redhawks celebrated the turnover, the Lynnfield quarterback retreated to the sideline and uttered a quick pep talk to himself.
From that point on, Adamo was practically flawless. The junior extended plays with his legs, slung passes around the field with his right arm, and rebounded from the early mistake to propel 20th-ranked Lynnfield into sole possession of first place in the Cape Ann League with a 24-14 road win over Amesbury on Friday night at chilly Landry Stadium. The Pioneers moved to 6-0 for the first time since 2014.
“I’m proud of what Tyler has done this year,” said Lynnfield coach Patrick Lamusta. “He continues to make plays with his legs and be a leader.”
Adamo completed 15 of 18 passes to six different receivers for 227 yards, tossing a pair of touchdown passes to Joey Cucciniello. For his encore, Adamo burst through the line of scrimmage and dove across the goal line for a 24-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.
