NOVEMBER 29, 2018 WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 11 Frigid Thanksgiving results in a loss By Anne Marie Tobin LYNNFIELD — On one of the coldest Thanksgiving Days ever, the Lynnfield Pioneers football team’s hopes to close out the season with a victory were gone with the wind at frigid Pioneer Stadium Thursday as visiting North Reading handed the Pioneers their worst loss of the season, 32-0. Truth be told, the only thing colder than the temperature and wind chill was the Pioneer offense, which made only two trips into North Reading territory the entire game and struggled all day to find any rhythm. “North Reading has a very, very sound defense and it was tough for us to get any kind of offensive drives going,” said first-year Lynnfield coach Pat Lamusta. “We needed a few big plays, but the bottom line it was tough for us throwing the ball, running the ball and catching the ball today. We kept telling the kids to block out the cold, but we just didn’t have it today. At the end of the day, you have to win the battle of the trenches and we just gave them too much room to run and with two solid running backs who run hard, we just had our hands full and couldn’t stop them.” The two backs referred to by Lamusta were senior captain Alex D’Ambrosio and junior Jack Keller who combined for nearly 200 yards of rushing yardage. D’Ambrosio was a one-man show in the first half, picking up 118 yards on 14 carries in the first half before finishing with a total of 139 yards on 23 carries. Keller was a two-way threat, picking up 57 yards on seven carries and also caught two passes for 16 yards. Keller’s second catch was a gamechanger, coming with just 10 seconds left in the half on a hook-and-ladder to break the game wide open and send the Hornets into halftime with a 20-0 lead.

A three-and-out on the opening drive of the game, resulted in Pioneer short punt that netted only three yards, handing the ball to North Reading at the Pioneer 29. Solecki needed only four plays to find the end zone on a quarterback keeper from 12 yards out (D’Ambrosio kick) to make it 7-0. After another Pioneer punt, North Reading drove 58 yards in four plays, capped by a 2-yard sprint by Solecki, to make it 13-0. After a scoreless third quarter, Lynnfield made its deepest trip into Hornet territory after a 30 yard strike from Clayton Marengi (4-of-12, 49 yards) to Jack Ford (2 catches, 39 yards) set the Pioneers up with 1st down at the Hornet 22 only to turn the ball over on downs after Marengi’s pass intended for John Lee (6 carries, 29 yards) in the end zone was incomplete. Three plays later Solecki hit Michael Mikula from 74 yards out to bump the lead to 26-0 with about 10 minutes to go. Three minutes later, Keller capped the scoring with a 46-yard burst. “I have to give credit to the team for fighting hard to the end, especially the seniors who were awesome this year,” Lamusta said. “All we can ask is that the younger players learn from the seniors and remember this feeling going forward and use it as fuel next year.” The senior group has been through a lot and had their share of adversity this year, but we have to remember that while we didn’t win this game, we still had three good wins this year and we got better with every game. Lamusta earned high praise from senior captains Hunter Allain and Leo Quinn. “He’s a young coach, but really was more like a brother to us,” said Allain. “He was always energetic and never called us out after a loss. He just told us to show up the next day and showed a lot of pride. He’s a great role model. “It was tough losing every week at the beginning of the season, but all coach told us was just to keep doing our jobs, like Bill Belichick,” said Quinn. “He just told us to keep grinding and that success would come our way, and it did especially defensively.” Ted Flaherty has been all around the league By Anne Marie Tobin LYNNFIELD — If there is anyone who knows what it's like to be a Cape Ann League Thanksgiving Day football junkie, it's Lynnfield line coach Ted Flaherty. Yesterday, at the annual Lynnfield-North Reading Thanksgiving Day football game, Flaherty accomplished an unusual milestone when it comes to Thanksgiving Day rivalries. From Masconomet-North Andover to Amesbury- Newburyport to Georgetown- Manchester Essex to Ipswich- Hamilton Wenham to Triton-Pentucket, and, finally, Lynnfield-North Reading, Flaherty has seen it all. He may be the only coach to lay claim to having experienced the highs and lows of at least one of each and every one of the Cape Ann League Thanksgiving Day rivalry games. "I don't know for sure, but I am told that nobody has ever done that before," said Flaherty. "I've now been on the sidelines for at least one Thanksgiving rivalry game involving every league team," Flaherty said. "The only rivalry game I had not coached was Lynnfield-North Reading, that is until today, so it completes the cycle. It was just last week when Pat (Lamusta) and I were talking Thanksgiving traditions starting with what Jim Pugh did at Masco, then some of the other teams I was a part of and I realized that Lynnfield-North Reading was the only rivalry I had not experienced." Since 1991, Flaherty has been the wild rover in the league, serving as an assistant coach or head coach of five different Cape Ann League football teams for all but two seasons. He started at Masconomet as an assistant in 1991. From there, Flaherty moved on in 1994 to Amesbury as an assistant from 1994-2001 and head coach from 1995- 2001, earning CAL Coach of the Year honors in 1998. Flaherty spent 2002 as an assistant at Georgetown, then defected to the Northeastern Conference at Beverly for two years as defensive coordinator. He returned to Ipswich in 2005 as head coach through 2012. He struck lightning in a bottle his second year, leading Ipswich to a Division 3A Super Bowl title in 2006. Flaherty's next stop was at Triton as a defensive coordinator under head coach and Lynnfield native and resident, Pat Sheehan, who currently is an assistant at Reading. 2 Large Cheese Pizzas $14.99 As far as his favorite Thanksgiving Day game memory goes, Flaherty says there are two. "As funny as it may sound, my junior year at Ipswich High we were playing Triton and we had a huge ice storm and the field was a skating rink," said Flaherty. "We couldn't wear our cleats and we were all sent up into the stands to borrow boots, so we played in snow boots. "But as a coach at Ipswich, the 2009 Thanksgiving game against Hamilton-Wenham is right up there," Flaherty said. "We won a Super Bowl in 2006 and then lost 33 straight games. We ended up winning 14-13, thanks to a late defensive stand on a two-point conversion and a recovery of an onside kick, then took three straight knees. Our kids had never taken a knee before. That moment when the game ended was the happiest moment, even better than the feeling we had after winning the Super Bowl."
