Undefeated Redmen to Host Billerica in Division 2 North Showdown

TEWKSBURY, MA — In a game that will decide the top spot in the Division 2 North Playoff Bracket, the undefeated Tewksbury Memorial High School Redmen(6-0) will challenge the Billerica Indians (6-0) at Doucette Saturday afternoon.

In what will be the final regular season contest, the Redmen will welcome a team widely regarded as one of the state's best. As of Oct. 17, Billerica was ranked as the No. 3 team in the Boston Globe high school rankings. Saturday's game represents the toughest test yet for head coach Brian Aylward's squad; who has notched an overtime win at North Andover and is coming off a 27-13 win over Chelmsford last week.

Saturday's matchup will represent the result of the collision between an unstoppable force and an immovable object, as the stout Redmen defense will challenge a Billerica offense that has only been held under 30 points once this season against Everett.

The Redmen have yet to allow more than 27 points this season, which came in an overtime thriller against North Andover.

The divisional showdown is set for Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at Doucette Stadium. Patch high school football guru Bob Holmes will be on hand covering the matchup.
