If you liked watching last weekend's Billerica vs. Tewksbury mud bowl, then keep Nov. 11-12 open for the rematch. Billerica should beat Concord-Carlisle this Friday and then handle the winner of the Masconomet/Waltham game. Tewksbury won't break a sweat beating Medford Saturday, and then should face Beverly (which opens against Somerville), a good team that will at least make Tewksbury work for it. The grumbling on the Billerica sidelines last week centered on a different result if the weather was better. Anyone have a forecast for Nov. 11-12?
