BY GREG SEBASTIAO SPORTS CORRESPONDENT NORTHBRIDGE — Led by quar- terback Tom Murphy (13 of 15 passing for 226 yards and three touchdowns; one 4-yard rushing touchdown), the Northbridge foot- ball team improved to 3-0 with a 39-15 trouncing of Lunenburg on Sept. 24. “It’s what you expect out of a senior quarterback who has done it all for you,” coach Ken LaChapelle said. “What I like about having someone like Murphy is that you [opposing teams] really have to defend the whole field. I like that.” Murphy seemed to like that too, and he didn’t waste any time mak- ing it known to the Blue Knights defense. The veteran gunslinger got into a rhythm early, as he connected with sophomore receiver Matt Phelan on a 91-yard strike from Matt Phelan looks to the sidelines on a deep in Ram territory. Sophomore night where he caught four passes for Jake Ryan added the extra point 116 yards and two touchdowns. and Northbridge went up 7-0 with 6:58 left in the first quarter. “It was the longest touchdown with his production.

A roughing the passer penalty capped off by a halfback pass from junior Joshua Trainque to junior wide-out Shaun Beers for a touchdown stole Northbridge’s chances at a shutout. The Knights completed a 2-point conversion on a Sullender pass to senior Ryan Havey, making the score 24-8 and giving Lunenburg something to build on in the second half. Or so they thought. With 38 seconds left in the half, the Rams refused to let the clock run out and instead went to the air behind Murphy’s right arm. Murphy connected with sopho- more receiver Dan Clasby for 59 yards, then kept it himself for nine more (a late hit penalty was assessed at the end of the play), and he eventually threw a 3-yard touchdown strike to junior tight end Harrison Murphy. Coach Ken LaChapelle talks to his team after a 39-15 victory over Lunenburg. Northbridge faked the extra point attempt and completed a 2-point conversion of their own, as Phelan threw a strike to senior running back Colby Brochu. At the half the Rams were up big, 32- 8.

LARAMIE MOTIVATED BY JOB AND FAMILY

BY JOY RICHARD STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER WEBSTER — For the past decade, thousands of women have made they way to Webster to support breast cancer patients all over the Commonwealth through participat- ing in the Danskin Triathlon. Supporting cancer patients is the main goal of Webster resident Melissa Laramie, who joined the more than 1,000 other participants during the Sunday, Sept. 26 event at Memorial Beach in Webster. Laramie, 35, said she ran the race for the third time this year. She was joined by women from all over the area ranging in age from 14 to 80. MVT Public Relations Representative Matthew Van Tuinen said throughout the past two decades there have been 125 races in the series, and more than 259,000 participants have made it across the finish line.

She also said exciting features of this year’s race will be the arrival and participation of Sally Edwards, a high-profile member of the triathlon community. “We are looking forward to a solid race,” said Sullivan. “It is a wonderful coming together of Danskin officials let swimmers enter the water during the first portion of the triathlon. women of all shapes and sizes, a great coming together of the gen- der.”
