DANVERS – From Phil Stacey, Salem News:
For nearly three-and-a-half quarters, visiting Beverly appeared to be in the driver’s seat.
But come the game’s conclusion, host Danvers High had taken the keys and every seat in the vehicle and had shockingly driven it across victory lane, a feat that would’ve appeared highly improbable 20 minutes earlier.
The Falcons, with a freshman quarterback and tailback both making their first varsity starts, rallied with two fourth quarter touchdowns, got a 35-yard field goal from sophomore Aidan Smith in overtime, then twice stopped the Panthers on the 1-yard line to earn an improbable 17-14 overtime triumph Friday night at Morse Field.
