Week 5 recap: Rhode Island high school football Week 5 schedules, scores and stats
Thursday’s Game
Narragansett’s defense locked in after a scoring frenzy in the first 24 minutes.
Trailing, 21-20, to open the second half, the Mariners orchestrated an 11-play drive that saw Jack Giannetto plunge in for a 2-yard touchdown. Narragansett held a 26-21 advantage on the score after the 2-point try was no good.
And that was enough for the Narragansett defense. The Mariners limited Scituate’s star running back, Paul Zolkos (23 carries for 114 yards, 3-yard touchdown rush, 8-yard touchdown rush) in the second half and pitched a shutout. Narragansett added a 37-yard field goal from Alec Hayes with five minutes left in the fourth quarter to cap the scoring.
Scituate went 11 plays on the ensuing drive, with a chance to tie in regulation, but the drive stalled out at the Narragansett 24.
Narragansett quarterback, Matt Timpson (11-of 16-for 192 yards, 7-yard touchdown rush) went into victory formation to finish out the contest. Giannetto tallied 17 carries for 85 yards and three catches for 75. Narragansett’s win gives them a bit of bragging rights in Division IV as Scituate entered undefeated.
Sean O’Brien finished 12-of-17 for 144 yards. Travis Howman finished with five catches for 83 yards and a 43-yard touchdown catch. The Spartans haveToll Gate next, while Narragansett hasNorth Smithfield.
