Power Football

Auburn fullback Robert Sivret Jr. plows ahead for another Rockets first down. Sivret would later rush for a touchdown.

Drew Goodrich

Most people think of the Rockets as a running team, but don't tell that to senior quarterback Drew Goodrich. The often overlooked Goodrich threw for two quick touchdowns at the end of the first half to turn a 7-6 deficit into an 18-6 lead.

A Red Zone Threat

Auburn senior receiver Nate Conway snatches this ball out of the air for a touchdown late in the second quarter. Conway has used his height effectively in the red zone all season.

Cheerleaders

Though it was a chilly night, the Auburn cheerleaders still turned out to support their boys. They were not disappointed, as the Rockets took home their fifth consecutive Super Bowl victory, defeating Tantasqua 33-7.

The Rocket

The Rocket was in the house, though he didn't get active until the end of the first half. It seems a fast start by Tantasqua dampened his spirits initially.

Moving the Chains

Tantasqua running back Liam Fuller falls forward for a Warrior first down. Tantasqua's offense gave Auburn fits both running and passing the ball early on.

A Fast Start

Tantasqua quarterback Randy Harrington had the hot hand early, and found Spencer Duncan for an first quarter touchdown. The Warriors took a 7-6 lead, handing Auburn only its third deficit of the entire season.

Getting it Started

Captains from both Blackstone Valley Tech and Bay Path meet at midfield before kickoff of the Division 6 Super Bowl. Bay Path had defeated BVT earlier this season and in last year's playoffs. Clearly, the Beavers were out for revenge.

Stone Walled

Bay Path's Joe Dabrowski runs into a human wall formed by Beaver defenders here in the second quarter. The Bay Path offense never got going, and BVT's aggressive front-seven was a big reason why.

Picked

Bay Path's Scott Borowy congratulates teammate John Vidal after his interception of Beavers quarterback Daniel Avery. Unfortunately, the Minutemen could do nothing with the opportunity.

Nowhere to run

Bay Path quarterback Kyle Thibeault could find little room to work against the Beaver defense. Not that either offense could really do much in the 6-0 BVT win.

Breaking Free

Valley Tech's Benjamin Reiffarth scored the only points of the day, returning the game's opening kickoff 71 yards for a touchdown.

Celebration

Blackstone Valley Tech finally got by its old nemesis Bay Path 6-0, and Nic Wojnar (12) and his teammates couldn't help but start the celebration a little early.
