West Boylston comes up short in quest for four state titles in a row

West Boylston came up short in their bid for their fourth straight MIAA football state title on Saturday as the Lions came up short to Randolph 21-0. Randolph was led by Alin Noriska’s two touchdowns and Mekhi White’s 102 yards rushing and a touchdown. West Boylston was hampered by four turnovers including one early in the third quarter which ended a promising Lions drive.  After the game Lions head coach Mike Ross was proud of his team. Ross told Spectrum News 1’s Kevin Shea, “They outplayed us. They deserved to win. They’re a good team. We turned the ball over a few times and that really hurt us…You know what? These kids, these seniors, all they know is Gillette. Every year they’ve been in the program they’ve been here.. So that’s something to say. I mean I’m disappointed, but we got back here. Four years in a row we’ve been here, that’s saying a lot.” West Boylston finished the season with a 9-4 record.
