MATTAPOISETT — Nolan Bergeron's interception of a Delmont Araujo pass at the Old Rochester 33 with 1:16 left ended the Vineyarders' late scoring bid and enabled the Bulldogs to begin the season on a winning note.
ORR took over at their own 33 and thanks to D.J. MacDonald's 36-yard run on a third-and-4, ran out the clock.
Old Rochester broke a scoreless tie two plays into the second quarter when MacDonald capped an 11-play, 61-yard drive with his 33-yard touchdown run.
MV responded with its only touchdown drive following the ensuing kickoff when Delmont Araujo sparked an 11-play scoring drive that covered 69 yards, fullback Chris Parsons capping things with a 1-yard plunge.
Tyler Araujo's rush for the 2-point conversion put Martha's Vineyard ahead, 8-7, with 2:50 left in the half. |
