T2 WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 THANKSGIVING FOOTBALL This year was all about change By Anne Marie Tobin 2018 was all about change for the Tanners football team. With a new spread offense, there was plenty of room for optimism heading into the new season. But the year turned out be upand-down. Peabody managed to secure a spot in the North Division 2 playoffs, only to lose a clunker to Reading to fall back into the non-playoff rotation. Malden Catholic transfer quarterback Matt Jandrisevits led the offense to a 36-7 win over Somerville in the Tanners' opening game of the season at home in week one. Angel Paulino and Luis Guridys ran for two touchdowns each, while Jandrisevits also scored. Kyle Maglione converted two 2-point conversions and Austin Leggett tacked on two extra points. In week two, the Tanners traveled to Danvers to take on the Falcons. Dropped passes, costly penalties and a defense that couldn't keep up with the faster, quicker Falcons added up to an ugly night of football. By the time the dust settled, the Falcons walked away with a 30-3 win. The bright light for the Tanners was Leggett, who split the uprights from 40 yards out late in the first half to put Peabody's only points on the board. Peabody's offensive woes continued at Marblehead in week three. Brandon Caniff broke up a couple of Marblehead pass plays in the end zone to keep it a seven-point game at the half, but the Tanners did themselves in the second half with a boatload of penalties wiping out several long gains on runs by Paulino and Guridys and some costly defensive penalties and it all added up to a 28-7 Magicians' win. The Tanners’ only touchdown came late in the game when Alex DeNisco hit Dylan Peluso with a 43-yard strike. Week four went right down to the wire before Revere survived a wild final couple of minutes to hold on for a 27-25 win. Peabody dug a huge 20-6 hole for itself in the first half, thanks to a slew of costly penalties along with three ill-timed fumbles. "Mistakes killed us and we just couldn't make plays when we had opportunities," said Peabody coach Mark Bettencourt. "Things are not falling our way." But the Tanners battled back and closed to within 27-19 after a fumble recovery by Abe Kaba and a 3-yard run by Paulino made it 27-25 with 18 ticks on the clock. Joshua Tanzer recovered a Leggett onside kick at the Revere 43. But a bobbled snap on what might have a game-winning 52-yard field goal by Leggett sealed the Tanners' fate. The Tanners' three-game skid came to a halt in week five with a 21-6 win at Masconomet, thanks to a great defensive effort. "This was a game that we knew we needed after not getting it done last week against Revere," Peabody coach Mark Bettencourt said. "This was basically an all or nothing situation." Tanzer led Peabody with two sacks and a forced fumble. Colby Therrien added two rushing touchdowns, while Jandrisevits also scored. The Tanners made it two in a row with a 42-14 rout over visiting Malden in week six as the Tanners execution in all three phases of the game was nearly flawless. Paulino, Sousa, Therrien and Guridys scored rushing touchdowns, while Peluso and Caniff hauled in TD receptions from Jandrisevits. Defensively, Maglione (interception), and Colten Cole (fumble recovery) shined, while Leggett was a perfect 6-of-6 in extra points.

There was good news after the game when the Tanners learned their 3-4 record was good enough to clinch a spot in the North Division 2 playoffs. "They beat us up up-front," Bettencourt said. "They outplayed us in every facet of the game. We didn't show up at any phase of the game. They just outmanned us." Therrien scored Peabody's only touchdown late in the game on a 3-yard scamper. In week eight, the Tanners got off to a disastrous start in the quarterfinals of the North Division 2 playoffs at Reading. They battled to the end, but never recovered, falling to the Rockets, 35-21. The Rockets scored on their first three possessions to lead 21-0 after the first quarter and still led 28-0 late in the first half before Therrien broke the ice with a 5-yard run. Maglione ran a punt back 31 yards for a TD, while Declan Russell caught a 10-yard TD pass from DeNisco. Tyler Norman was a bright spot on defense filling if the injured Sousa at linebacker. In week nine, the Tanners took on a familiar foe in Haverhill and played with a heavy heart. The team honored beloved English teacher Lawrie Bertram, who died suddenly, with a moment of silence prior to the game and also wore back tape across the bulls logo on their uniforms. A defensive battle, the game turned in the fourth quarter when Joe Mastromatteo forced a fumble, recovered by Chris Glass, to set up a 6-yard TD run by Paulino (2 TDs). DeNisco, in his first varsity start, threw a TD pass to Jared Ridley. Dylan Peluso sealed the win with an interception as time wound down. In week 10, it was a battle for Tanner city bragging rights Friday at rain-drenched Coley Lee Field as the Peabody took on their Woburn Tanner counterparts. The game was back-andforth, but in the end, the Peabody Tanners came up short, 28-24. Guridys had a monster game with two TDs, the first on a 79-yard fumble recovery and the second on a 61-yard run, and also recovered a key onside kick to keep Peabody's hopes alive in the fourth quarter. Therrien (2-yard run) and Leggett (37-yard FG) also scored. Inside this special section you will see game-by-game accounts from the regular season.
