SPARTANS DOMINATE TO DEFEAT LEICESTER, 24-7

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER UXBRIDGE — The Uxbridge football team opened their season with a 14-6 win over West Boylston, then suffered three close and tough defeats in a row: 14-8 vs. Bartlett, 20-14 at division rival Nipmuc, and 14-7 at division rival Millbury. To get back on the winning track, Coach T.J. Raeke had his sights set on three straight divi- sional home games vs. Leicester, David Prouty and Oxford. The Spartans accomplished part one of three Saturday, Oct. 11 with a convincing 24-7 victory over the Wolverines. “We’ve been talking about getting ourselves going and getting on a roll,” Raeke said. “We’ve played some really tough games. We played well, but we just didn’t get over the hump. We’ve been talking about working towards the end of the season because we have tough opponents coming Nick Ethier photos up and we want to make sure we’re ready.” LEFT: Dominic Mazzone of Leicester gets ready for the snap from the center while the Spartan and Wolverine lines prepare to collide.
