BY THOMAS MATTSON TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER GRAFTON — It would have been hard for any coach to have asked more of his team than the Northbridge Rams gave in a 39-8, season-opening thrashing of Grafton at the Indians’ field Saturday afternoon, Sept. 13. The Rams’ first team, packed with experience, size and speed, put up 33 points on the board the first half. Senior quarterback and co-captain Zach Zidelis threw two touchdown passes, and completed eight of 12 attempts for 189 yards. In the second half, Northbridge coach Ken LaChapelle used mostly his junior varsity, and they acquit- ted themselves well. In fact, in the third quarter, backup sophomore quarterback Thomas Murphy exploded for a 55-yard TD run. He also threw a long pass that fellow sophomore Evan Macintosh leaped for to make a nice snag.

BLACKSTONE VALLEY TRIBUNE Friday, September 19, 2008 • 11 SPORTS Northbridge Rams outplay Grafton Indians, 39-8

RAMS continued from page A1 but the Rams were up, 6-0. On the next Grafton series, senior co-captain and linebacker Paul Wallen, a mainstay on defense over the last two years, 6-4 tackle Joe Rice and omnipresent corner Matt Consigli made some good tackles, bottling up the Indians. Grafton punted to Padro at about the Northbridge 35 and the speedster returned it down the right side some 46 yards to the Grafton 19. On the first play from scrim- mage, Zidelis threw to 6-5 junior tight end Casey Hippert, who jumped like a basketball center in the right end zone to secure the ball for the score. The kick was wide. One of the interesting aspects of the game from the Northbridge coaches’ point of view was that Grafton’s new coach Mike Ross — formerly the grid mentor at North High in Worcester — brought along Thomas Mattson photos the double-wing offense, something Above left to right: Northbridge tight end Joe Rice looks for some room to run. Joe Rice, Paul Wallen and John Perro gang tackle a Grafton runner. that has given Northbridge trouble, especially against Shepherd Hill. Both LaChapelle and defensive assistant coach Matt Gauthier acknowledged it was a good experience to be exposed to the double wing so early in the season. In that formation, two backs stand near the line just short of the tackles and the whole group pushes together to open holes. At first, the Northbridge defensive line assumed a play was over when it had pushed back the Grafton surge, but the Northbridge coaches had to warn them that the play was alive until the ref blew a whistle. Once the Rams’ defense got that down, they did a good job maintaining the counter-push, with Consigli often taking a lead in gang tackling. Coach Ross had his team well trained to run the double-wing offense and, given more experience, the Indians could develop into a good offensive team. “We got to do a lot of the things we wanted to do,” said LaChapelle. He was appreciative of Ross’ challenges in putting in a new offense at Grafton. Northbridge quarterback Zach Zidelis rolls out and looks for a receiver. Asked what he thought of this year’s edition of the Rams, most of which is intact from last year’s 12-1 Super Bowl winners, LaChapelle said: “We’re a pretty decent team.” He was pleased senior co-captain Mike Padro, one of the top two receivers in Central Massachusetts last year, had three catches for 87 yards and Casey Hippert three snags for 68 yards. Padro does so many things — catches passes, returns punts, runs the sweep — and has the same speed (4.7 in the 40) as Matt Blood (who trails only Rick Asadoorian in number of career touchdowns at Northbridge) from the great 1997-98 teams. Padro caught 65 passes last year, a school record in a tradition that thrives on the pass. Since Asadoorian’s era (1996-98), Jon Zenquis and then Josh Harris set the school record for pass recep- tions. Now it’s Mike Padro.

The X6 Is One BMW That Should Have Difficulty Selling Because of Its Odd Looks

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

Recently in my online newsletter for my website, usedcars.about.com, I wrote, “For some reason, Porsche hates New England (at least the automotive journalists that work there).” That prompted my editor to write, “Isn’t BMW the ultimate snob manufacturer?” Well, I respectfully disagreed with him because of Porsche’s continued “holier than thou” attitude (New England is disdained by the manufacturer because it only sells 1200 of its 34,000 vehicles here annually in the U.S.). That strikes me as a bit snobby. Plus, BMW has produced the X6. No manufacturer in its right mind could produce a vehicle this ugly and put on snobbish airs. I don’t call this the X6. I’ve nick- named it the BMW Aztek, after the Pontiac Aztek that was pro- About the only appealing angle of the 2008 BMW X6 is its front fascia. It gives off an aggressive look.
