   Lynch, who has committed to play for Boston College next fall, ran 17 times for 239 yards and scored on scampers of 47 and 77 yards. St. Francis coach Jerry Smith told The Buffalo News that Lynch may have suffered a high ankle sprain when a lineman fell on him.

   St. Joe's leads the Monsignor Martin Association series 46-30-3. "Joe Wolf was our athletic director for 50 years or something like that, and he was there when I played, and he always said that if you go 0-10 and you win this game, it's a successful season," second-year coach Dennis Gilbert said.

   MMA showdown: No. 20 Longwood won at No. 13 William Floyd for the first time, posting a 14-12 victory in a clash of state-ranked Class AA teams from Suffolk County.

   “It’s better than a playoff win,” cornerback Dave Bennett told the North Shore Sun after intercepting two passes. “This is a championship game right here.”

   The Lions smothered star tailback Stacey Bedell (13 carries, 67 yards) and held QB A.J. Otranto to 6-for-23 accuracy for 99 yards, one TD and two interceptions.
