WEEK 1 

O’Neil throws 4 touchdowns in debut; 

Marblehead routs Concord-Carlisle 25-6 

By Ryan Vermette 

Marblehead Weekly News 

Back in the preseason, senior wide receiver Zander 

Dandorth said that his team was not satisfied with last 

year’s Division Three Super Bowl Win. 

They proved it last Friday night. 

The Magicians put on quite the opening act in their 

season debut last Friday against Concord-Carlisle, taking 

down the Patriots by a final score of 25-6. 

The score was not indicative of how dominant 

Marblehead really was on both offense and defense 

throughout the night. Concord-Carlisle started the game 

with a first play pass by quarterback Holdon Miller that 

was thought to get Concord into Marblehead territory but 

was ruled an offensive pass interference. That first play 

of the game would shift the momentum as the Patriot’s 

offense went three and out and would not be able to get 

anything going offensively for the next three and a half 

quarters. 

After a Concord-Carlisle punt, junior quarterback 

Myles O’Neil stepped onto the field to make his debut as 

the Magicians starting signal caller. His first throw of the 

day was a completed nine yard slant to get it to second 

down and one. Marblehead would run the ball for the next 

few plays and advance the line of scrimmage up to the 

45 of Concord-Carlisle. After a couple of short gains and 

an incomplete pass, O’Neil’s offense found themselves 

in a fourth down and long from Concord-Carlisle’s 29 

yard line, and Coach Jim Rudloff decided to test his new 

quarterback’s nerves early, and it paid off big time. 

With three receivers lined up on his left side, O’Neil 

dropped back in the pocket, stepped up to avoid the 

pressure coming at him on the flank, and lobbed a ball 

towards the back left pylon in the endzone. Wide receiver 

Shane Keough was in a one on one matchup, with no safety 

help and had position on the defensive back. O’Neil put 

the ball directly in a spot where only Keough could come 

down with it as the receiver climbed the invisible ladder, 

grabbing the ball over the defending back, and holding on 

as he came to the ground. 

Touchdown Marblehead. 

Concord-Carlisle got the ball back with 6:32 left in 

the first quarter and went on a drive that lasted over ten 

minutes. The Magicians defense could not get off the field 

as they got the Patriots to multiple 3rd downs but couldn’t 

keep them from converting. Concord-Carlisle got up to the 

Marblehead 12 yard line and had a chance to tie the game 

but an incomplete pass brought up fourth down. With a 

fourth and goal from the 12 yard line, Head Coach Josh 

Reed liked what he had been seeing from his offense and

decided to roll the dice. Miller dropped back and attempted 

a back left corner throw into the endzone that sailed 5 

yards to far out of bounds, resulting in a turnover on downs 

for the Patriots. 

The Magicians made them pay quickly as they stormed 

down the field, scoring a touchdown in two plays. First, 

O’Neil ran with the ball outside and to the right, with 

Conner Cronin trailing him. Baiting the defender, O’Neil 

waited until the defensmen was about to tackle him before 

pitching the ball to Cronin, who exploded down field for 

34 yards. O’Neil would feed the ball to Cronin again on the 

very next play as the wide receiver ran about ten yards out 

before cutting towards the sideline when O’Neil slung a 

lead pass to Cronin. He made the catch and turned upfield, 

breaking tackles and trucking defenders on his way to a 29 

yard touchdown to put the Magicians up 13-0. 

“I knew my pattern, I mean I always get open cmon,” 

Cronin joked. “No one stopped me in the open field so I 

just lowered my head and got across the goal line.” 

In the third quarter, O’Neill threw a touchdown pass 

that might already be the play of the year. Doing his best 

Patrick Mahomes impression, O’Neil saw two defenders 

blitzing off the left side of his line and was able to slide 

right and start running up toward the line of scrimmage as 

he launched a ball from Concord-Carlisle’s forty yard line 

that found receiver Andy Palmer, who was wide open. 

“I saw a bunch of guys coming at me so I knew I had 

to get out of there,” O’Neil said. “I saw my receiver Andy 

Palmer, and he just caught it, I trusted him.” 

Marblehead impressed in the first half of their season 

opener, but it’s offense slowed in the second half, turning 

the ball over on fourth down multiple times and not being 

able to move the ball as effectively as they did in the first 

half. O’Neil noted that if they want the same outcome as 

last year, they will need to keep improving. 

“I thought we played a great first half, but second half 

I feel like we gotta pick it up more,” the quarterback said. 

“Coach was saying the same thing that I was saying, just 

because we’re up at halftime doesn’t mean we can slow 

down, we gotta keep the energy rolling.”

WEEK 2 

Lynnfield and Marblehead help 

remind us it’s more than a game 

By Ryan VeRmette 

maRBlehead Weekly neWs 

As quarterback Myles O’Neil knelt the 

ball for the final time, Marblehead players 

jumped up and down and put their hands in 

the air, letting out shouts of pure emotion as 

they ran towards their teammate 

Jack Scogland. 

Though not many in 

the stands at Piper 

Field knew it, the 

Magicians 

played 

with 

heavy hearts that evening. Earlier in the day, 

Scogland’s father passed away unexpectedly. 

The lineman’s father was a youth baseball 

and football coach for nearly all of the players 

on Marblehead’s roster. Lynnfield head coach 

Pat Lamusta found out just before kickoff 

and knew that after the game, win or lose, his 

team needed to be there for Scogland. 

After hands were shaken and everybody 

started to empty from the stands, Lamusta 

told his team to bring it in at midfield as 

Marblehead head coach Jim Rudloff 

did the same. Each coach spoke with 

the other team in the combined 

huddle before Lynnfield and 

Marblehead fists were raised

up into the air together for a breakdown. 

“Family on three… one, two, three, 

family,” both teams shouted. 

Though both teams may not have been 

familiar with each other or even know one 

another, everybody came together to support 

Scogland and lift him up because, as Lamusta 

notes, it’s bigger than football. 

“That’s tough to fight through; it’s an 

emotional rollercoaster for a team to go 

through,” Lamusta said. “They’re a very 

strong team, they’re going to make it through, 

but the point of the breakdown was to remind 

everyone that there’s something bigger here.” 

Though Lynnfield lost the game by a 

score of 26-18, Lamusta recognized that the 

outcome was secondary to everything else 

going on that night. There will always be 

more football games to be played, and though 

football is everything for these kids and 

coaches, the stats, the scores, and the wins 

and losses all become an afterthought on an 

emotional night such as this. 

Despite learning of his father’s passing 

hours before the game, Scogland, who is a 

lineman for Marblehead, told coach Rudloff 

that he was going to suit up. 

Not only was he available for the game, 

he ended up playing on both sides of the 

field in what was truly an amazing display of 

courage and determination. His play on both 

sides of the line of scrimmage was crucial 

in Marblehead’s victory that evening and 

he even proceeded to block a point after an 

attempt by Lynnfield. 

“Amazing kid, it was amazing that he was 

able to do that,” said Rudloff. “He’s one of 

the first guys in for us; oddly enough, the kid 

that plays in front of him was the first one 

hurt, so he goes in and plays both ways the 

whole game.” 

It was an incredible performance by 

Scogland, and after the game, Marblehead’s 

players yelled out in happiness, and in 

sorrow, and in joy, and in grief as they 

huddled around Scogland, each taking turns 

hugging him, and holding his helmet close to 

theirs. 

Football is family, not just to Marblehead, 

but to every team that they see standing on 

the other sideline, and the Pioneers recognize 

that. 

“We’re kind of a larger football family, 

and we wish them well as they navigate this 

difficult time,” Lamusta said. 

“A lot of class on the other side of 

the field,” Rudloff said in response to the 

Pioneers showing of support. “The Lynnfield 

kids were phenomenal, they played a great 

game but even more so, their behavior and 

their composure, and the way they just 

embraced us after the game, I’ll never forget 

that.” 

While the Pioneers fell to Marblehead,

quarterback Tyler Adamo had a decent 

showing through the air. Adamo was 15-24 

for 130 yards with a touchdown and an 

interception. Samuel Gazit led the Pioneers in 

receiving with 62 yards while Robert Marley 

III led the team in rushing with 86 yards. 

Lynnfield’s defense got the scoring started 

early in the first quarter with a pick-six off 

of Marblehead Quarterback Myles O’Neil. 

O’Neil got his team back in it quickly on the 

next drive with a 15-yard quarterback keeper 

for 15 yards. After he recovered his own 

fumble on a dropped snap on 2nd and goal, 

O’Neil rolled out to his right for a five-yard 

touchdown pass on third down to receiver 

Andy Palmer to give the Magicians a 7-6 

lead. 

Lynnfield answered with a 53-yard 

rumble by Marley lll that went for a 

touchdown. Marley was able to easily 

penetrate Marblehead’s defensive line thanks 

to help from Lynnfield’s run blockers and 

made his way up to the secondary when he 

bounced the run to the outside and cut up 

the sideline where no one was going to catch 

him. A failed two-point conversion gave, 

the Pioneers a slim 12-7 lead in the second 

quarter. 

Adamo capitalized off of a Marblehead 

turnover on downs with a 38-yard touchdown 

pass to Gazit. The point after attempt would 

get blocked, keeping Lynnfield’s lead at 11 

points. 

An interception by Adamo late in the 2nd 

quarter would prove costly for the Pioneers; 

however, as Marblehead’s offense was able to 

get up field for one last shot into the endzone 

before halftime. O’Neil shrugged off a 

blitzing defender and sent a bomb downfield 

that was caught by receiver Connor Cronin to 

cut the lead down to 18-13. 

Lynnfield wouldn’t score for the rest 

of the contest, and special teams was a big 

problem in the second half as the punting 

unit fumbled, resulting in a Shane Keough 

touchdown for Marblehead to take the lead. 

A blocked punt by Marblehead’s Baxter 

Jennings gave the Magicians the ball in 

Lynnfield territory as O’Neil threw for his 

third touchdown of the game, sealing the 

victory for Marblehead, 26-18. 

“I think our guys hung in and battled,” 

Lamusta said. “We definitely came out 

and played very intense, I’m very proud of 

how the defense played, and we had some 

explosive plays on offense.” 

It was a valiant effort for Lynnfield as 

their offensive duo of Adamo and Marley 

played well and gave Marblehead a run for 

their money. However, Marblehead’s rally 

around their teammate was powerful enough 

to lift them to victory, and both teams can be 

proud of not only their play on the field but 

their class in supporting one of their football 

brothers during the most difficult day in his 

life.


WEEK 3 

Magical run continues 

Win streak extends to 23 games thanks to strong defensive effort 

By anne maRIe tOBIn 

assIGnment edItOR 

NORTH ANDOVER — Behind 

a superlative defensive effort, the 

Marblehead High football team extended 

its win streak to 23 with a 12-7 win over 

non-league rival North Andover Friday 

night on a cold and wind-swept night at 

Walsh Stadium in North Andover. 

A 39-yard touchdown reception by 

senior wide receiver Connor Cronin from 

6’5” junior quarterback Miles O’Neill 

with only 23 seconds left in the first half 

was the difference. O’Neill finished the 

evening with 201 passing yards. 

Both teams excelled on defense for 

most of the game with all of the game’s 

scoring packed into a 95-second spurt at 

the end of the first half. 

North Andover struck first, taking a 7-0 

lead on a 29-yard touchdown reception 

by Cam Partridge, who fought off two 

Marblehead tacklers to hold onto the ball 

with 1:35 left in the second quarter. 

Marblehead responded with a 51- 

yard drive, all in the air, capped by a 

touchdown pass from O’Neill to Ryan 

Commoss that made it 7-6 (extra point 

was blocked). A long kickoff return by 

Connor Cronin to the Marblehead 49-yard 

line set up the drive, giving the Magicians 

a short field. O’Neill took full advantage, 

completing five of seven passes on the 

drive. 

North Andover fumbled the ensuing 

kickoff, allowing Marblehead a couple of 

chances to punch it in but the Magicians 

squandered the opportunity after a North 

Andover interception in the end zone. 

A superlative defensive stop gave the 

Magicians another chance. Cronin hauled 

in what turned out to be the game-winning 

score to give Marblehead a 12-7 lead (pass 

failed) with 23 seconds left in the half. 

“North Andover was able to get 

the stops when they needed and take 

advantage early,” said Head Coach Jim 

Rudloff following Friday’s game. “We 

just really finally strung a couple of plays 

together where everyone was on the same 

page.” 

Both teams stepped up defensively in 

the second half. 

With 4:33 left in the game, a 

Magicians’ fumble gave North Andover 

a last shot to steal the game, only to be 

denied. But the Magicians’ defense stood 

strong, anchored by junior Christian 

Pacheco, who came up with several key 

plays to thwart the Knights’ final drive. 

The Magicians were able to squeak out 

the win, but Rudloff notes that his offense 

will have to clean it up moving forward. 

“We played very sloppy on offense all 

night,” said Rudloff about the game. “We 

have a tremendous amount of work to 

do if we expect to be successful moving 

forward.” 

Marblehead’s Connor Croninn breaks out of 

coverage and goes on to score.

WEEK 4 

Tanners stun Magicians at home 

MARBLEHEAD— The 

Tanners shocked the Marblehead 

Magicians at home last Friday, 

giving them their first loss in three 

years, and ending their incredible 

win streak at 23. 

Perhaps the most stunning part 

about Peabody’s victory? The game 

wasn’t even close. 

Peabody’s offense had been 

rolling all season, but it looked 

like they would be tested against a 

strong Magician defense. However, 

Tanner’s Quarterback Shea 

Lynch and company silenced the 

Marblehead crowd on the first drive 

of the game. Lynch was able run a 

QB keep to get the Tanners inside 

the 10 yard line which would set 

up a 10 yard rushing touchdown 

for running back Will Pinto to put 

Peabody in front 7-0 early. O’Neill 

then led his team downfield with 

a 43 yard pass to receiver Brooks 

Keefe on the teams first drive. 

O’Neill ran a QB keeper for a 20 

yard gain before senior running 

back Eddie Johns trucked his way 

into the endzone on a 3 yard run to 

tie the game at 7. 

After that touchdown, 

Peabody was able to shut down 

Marblehead’s explosive vertical 

passing game, keeping the 

Magicians scoreless for the next 

three quarters. 

O’Neill threw for 121 yards 

in the first half, but the offense 

was largely inefficient thanks to 

the Tanners defense taking away 

big plays and forcing a number of 

incomplete passes. Down 14-7 in 

Marblehead celebrates a touchdown by Eddie Johns against Peabody. 

the second quarter, Marblehead’s 

defense was able to get a stop and 

give the ball back to the offense. 

On their third drive, the Magicians 

had a golden opportunity to tie 

the game. O’Neill dropped back 

to throw and launched a ball 

downfield from their own 30 

yard line that was intended for 

a wide open Keefe, but the ball 

was dropped for what would have 

been a 70 yard touchdown to tie 

the game. Marblehead would end 

up turning the ball over on downs 

and failed to get anything going 

offensively for the rest of the game. 

The Tanners went into the half with 

a 20-7 lead, although there was 

hope that Marblehead could make 

the necessary adjustments in the 

locker room to get back into the 

game, the Tanners refused to let that 

happen. 

Marblehead received the 

second half kickoff, but Peabody’s 

secondary immediately forced back 

to back incompletions to force a 

Magician punt. Later in the quarter, 

Peabody was the benificiary of a 

little bit of luck when Lynch threw 

a pass over the middle that was 

tipped by Marblehead, but was 

grabbed from the air by Batista who 

then darted for a 56 yard recieving 

touchdown. Lynch threw the fifth 

and final touchdown for Peabody 

on a pass to reciever Jayce Dooley 

for 35 yards. 

Despite the tough loss, 


Marblehead’s season is far from 

over. The team still possesses 

a record of 3-1 and has an easy 

strength of schedule going forward, 

playing a winless Beverly team on 

Friday at home before traveling to 

face a Danvers High team that posts 

a 1-3 record on the season. Both of 

which should give the Magicians 

a much needed confidence boost 

heading into the postseason.

football team started off

looked back to the tune of a 27-7 

victory over the Falcons. 

Danvers won the coin toss and 

elected to receive the opening kickoff. 

The Falcons proceeded to go on a 13- 

play, eight minute drive and appeared 

to be headed for a touchdown until 

Marblehead’s defense stepped up. 

The Falcons had a 4th-1 from 

Marblehead’s 23-yard line and 

decided to go for it, but the 

Magicians were up to the task, 

as they stuffed Danvers to no 

gain. 

Marblehead took over and immediately 

hit a big play from quarterback Miles 

Oneill, as he hit Connor Cronin on a swing 

pass that went for 52 yards. The Magicians 

then had a 4th-4 from the 4-yard line, but 

Oneill threw an incomplete pass to end the 

drive. The score was 0-0 at the end of the 

first quarter. 

It seemed that this was going to be 

a defensive struggle, but Marblehead’s 

offense woke up in the second quarter. 

After forcing Danvers into a three-andout, 

the Magicians took over with great 

field position at the Danvers 49-yard 

line and took advantage. Oneill threw 

a 34-yard deep pass down the left side, 

and Ryan Commoss made a sliding catch


WEEK 8 

in the endzone, which gave Marblebead 

a 7-0 lead. The Magicians saw the ball 

one more time before the end of the half, 

and scored a touchdown with just 20 

seconds remaining. It was a case of deja 

vu’, as Oneill again hit Commoss down 

the left side into the endzone – this time 

for a 16-yard touchdown pass that gave 

Marblehead a 14-0 lead at halftime. 

Marblehead opened up the second 

half with the ball, and were stopped after 

gaining 10 yards on a fourth and 11 from 

the Danvers 33-yard line. The Magicians 

forced the Falcons into a three and out 

and would again strike. On the first play 

of Marblehead’s second drive of the half, 

Cronin took a sweep 60 yards into the 

endzone and extended the Magicians’ lead 

21-0. On the ensuing Marblehead drive, 

they capped off a 49-yard touchdown 

drive with a 10-yard pass from Oneill to 

Eddie Johns. The Magicians led, 27-0. 

Marbelhead’s defense really stifled the 

Danvers offense after the first quarter, as 

they didn’t give up another first down until 

late in the third quarter. Magicians’ Head 

Coach Jim Rudloff thought shaking off the 

rust was the biggest change after the first 

quarter. 

“I was not thrilled how we started the 

game, especially coming off a bye week,” 

Rudloff said. “After the first quarter, we 

started wrapping up and played a really 

strong game defensively the rest of the 

way.” 

Danvers got on the board late in the 

game. Kevin Ahern intercepted a pass 

from Oneill at the Marblehead 13- 

yard line. Four plays later, the Falcons’ 

quarterback Travis Voisine ran up the 

middle for a 4-yard touchdown run, which 

made the score 27-7, and that was the 

score when the final whistle blew. 

Rudloff still sees room for the offense 

to improve. 

“We hit a few big plays tonight, 

which was great, but did not have much 

consistency otherwise,” Rudloff said. 

“Once our offense becomes a little more 

consistent, we are going to be in a great 

place as a team.” 

Leading the way for Marblehead was 

Oneill, as he finished the game with 224 

passing yards, 51 rushing yards and three 

touchdown passes. Oneill had plenty of 

help, as Cronnin finished the game with 

65 yards receiving and added 75 more 

yards on the ground along with a rushing 

touchdown. Commoss had 48 receiving 

yards and two touchdown catches. 

The Magicians defense was led by the 

trio of Sam Annese, Scott Campbell and 

Chris Dewitt. Marbelehead improved its 

record to 6-1.


THANKSGIVING PREVIEW 

Marblehead looks to extend 

series lead over Swampscott 



A game-winning field goal by 

Marblehead on Swampscott’s home turf 

left a bitter taste in the mouths of Big Blue 

Nation last Thanksgiving. 

Now with Turkey Day on the horizon, 

Swampscott will have a turn to take out the 

Magicians in their house, but it won’t be 

easy. 

Marblehead holds a slight edge in the 

series 56-50-6, and hopes to make it three 

Thanksgiving day wins in a row over their 

perennial rival, while Swampscott hopes to 

close the gap. 

The Magicians finished their regular 

season with a 6-1 record, good enough to 

earn them an 8 seed in the Division 3 State 

Tournament. Marblehead had a new face 

under center this season in 6’5 Junior Miles 

O’Neill. Marblehead entered this season 

riding a 20-game win streak and set out 

to defend last year’s championship. They 

blew out Concord Carlisle (25-6) in the first 

game of the season. That was followed by 

an emotional 26-18 victory over Lynnfield 

(26-18) and a razor-thin win on the road 

against North Andover (12-7). 

In week 4 against Peabody, the magical 

ride came to a screeching halt as the 

Tanners pummeled the Magicians 40-7 on 

their home field, ending the win streak at 

23. Marblehead immediately bounced back 

with wins in its final three games of the 

season against Masconomet (28-7), Beverly 

(41-0), and Danvers (27-7). The Magicians 

continued their strong end to the season 

with a 35-0 blowout over No. 9 seeded 

Whitman-Hanson, qualifying them for the 

state quarterfinals. 

Swampscott’s season was a little more 

bumpy to say the least. Big Blue ended the 

regular season with a 3-5 record. They lost 

their season opener to Auburn (19-7), but 

came right back the following week with a 

27-6 drubbing over the Bulldogs of Lynn 

English. In week three, a defensive battle 

on a cold night saw Bishop Fenwick outlast 

Swampscott by a score of 14-0. Big Blue 

went on a two-game win streak, beating 

Saugus (38-0), and Northeast Metro RVT 

(41-32). They would go on to lose three 

straight to end the season however, to the 

likes of Danvers (35-7), Beverly (28-23), 

and Masconomet (7-0). 

Swampscott qualified for the Division 5 

state tournament with the final spot, but lost 

to No. 1 ranked Hudson 41-17, ending its 

run at back-to-back titles. 

Even with the difference in records 

this year, a rivalry as old and rich as this 

one will always find a way to keep things

Marblehead and Swampscott. 

interesting. Marblehead has gotten the 

better of Swampscott with last second 

scores in the most recent contests, but Big 

Blue isn’t quite ready to end their season 

just yet. 

Swampscott hopes to flip the script this 

year with its defensive mentality (three 

games this year with seven points or fewer 

given up), while Marblehead looks to air 

it out with its playmakers on offense (201 

total points scored, 25 points per game this 

season). 

It is the epitome of a storied rivalry, and 

the 113th edition between two of last year’s 

state champions is shaping up to be a great 

one. 

WE’RE ALL ABOUT 

MAKING THE 

RIGHT MOVES. 

We believe in working hard, teamwork and having fun.
