By Harold Rivera ITEM SPORTS EDITOR FOXBOROUGH — Graham Inzana couldn’t have asked for a better way to end his high school football career. The senior quarterback/safety guided Swampscott’s offense to a 21-0 win in Saturday’s Di- vision 5 Super Bowl at Gil- lette Stadium. “It’s the best feeling in the world,” Inzana, who also plays basketball and baseball, said. “It’s unbe- lievable. We’ve been work- ing toward this for four years and we finally made it happen.” Inzana, a two-time Item All-Star, completed 8-of-19 pass attempts for 102 yards. He helped Swamp- scott to a swift 7-0 lead on the game’s opening drive with a 22-yard touchdown strike to receiver Andrew Augustin (five catches, 50 yards). “It was a screen,” Inzana said of the play. “I just wanted to get the ball to one of our athletes and let him do his work. (Andrew) went all the way like he always does.” In the second quarter, Inzana and the Big Blue cashed in on a golden op- portunity to stretch their lead. A short Amherst punt gave Swampscott posses- sion on the Hurricanes’ 9-yard line and Inzana, seconds later, scampered his way into the end zone from four yards out. Inzana’s ability to run the ball as effectively as he throws it was kept secret ITEM PHOTO | SPENSER HASAK during the regular season. Swampscott’s Graham Inzana threw for 102 yards and a touchdown and also rushed for a touchdown in a win over INZANA, B2 Amherst in the Division 5 Super Bowl Saturday at Gillette Stadium.
