The Rams defeated the Methuen Rangers 35-0.

"Just to see the look in their eyes when we scored out first touchdown, just to see a good block or a good tackle, just to see the excitement of doing it somewhere else on a bigger stage."

"They'll see each other and remember this for the rest of their lives. Hopefully in 10-20 years from now, they'll be in our place, coaching kids and keeping that tradition going."
