Never ones to complain, the Wildcats bent but refused to break much in the early going. Once Randolph arrived, though, MarshallвЂ™s big, full-house offense began grinding on LeeвЂ™s rapidly depleting defensive corps. Blue Devils head coach Jon Marshall admitted, he had to use Google to find where Lee was on a map. We were playing for each other and I think we represented Berkshire County pretty well.вЂќДЄs a result of the new statewide tournament format, Randolph had to travel over 2 hours from south of Boston to the Berkshires.

вЂњBut we went out there and played every quarter like we wanted to be there. вЂњEast always kind of thinks theyвЂ™re going to come down here and walk all over us,вЂќ said senior captain Elliot Winston through a set of bloody lips. After falling behind by two scores late in the fourth quarter, DelVecchio grabbed a squib kick and ran headlong into contact, still looking to give his team the spark needed for an unlikely comeback. DelVecchioвЂ™s hard hit was the first of many delivered from both sides. 7 Lee took the field with something to prove. This was playoff football, and they grasped that, knew what was at stake and laid it all on the field tonight.вЂќДespite being the lower seed and hosting an opening-round contest against No. вЂњThey came out, you could see it in their eyes.

A lot of fight in our guys tonight,вЂќ said Lee coach Keith Thomson.
