BLACKSTONE VALLEY TRIBUNE Friday, December 9, 2011 • 11 SPORTS HOW THEY GOT THERE Rams use running game to defeat Warriors, advance to D4 Super Bowl

BY GREG SEBASTIAO SPORTS CORRESPONDENT WORCESTER — The Northbridge Rams (7-5) are heading to their third straight Super Bowl after defeating top seeded Nipmuc (7-5), 14-12, in an intense matchup that came right down to the final whistle Nov. 29 at Commerce Bank Field at Foley Stadium. The Rams will take on Southbridge — who they beat 24-0 during the regular season — in the Division 4 Super Bowl. “It was a very intense game, Nipmuc had a good year this year and obviously they beat us earlier in the year, but we’ve improved. We knew this was going to be a battle and they didn’t give up,” said Northbridge head coach Ken LaChapelle. “We scouted each other pretty well and we knew what the strengths are, but it comes down to making plays. We knew it was going to be a hard fought game and our Northbridge wide receiver Ben division — if there was a three or O’Donnell gets set to run a route during four seeded team coming out win- the Rams’ 14-12 victory over Nipmuc in ning the bowl, this division was it — the Division 4 playoffs. and guess what, a three or four team will win the game come Saturday.” After the block, junior quarter- Down 7-6 with 5:24 left to play in back Matt Phelan (6 of 19, 126 yards, the fourth quarter, Nipmuc opted to 2 INTs) ran the ball four consecutive punt on fourth-and-six from the times, bringing the ball to the Rams’ 34-yard line.
