Salem 13, Whittier 0: Jeremiah Barahona turned five receptions into 212 yards and a pair of touchdowns as the Witches earned their first victory under new head coach Brett Segala.

St. John’s Prep 45, Needham 6: Chris Vargas fired touchdown passes to Riley Selvais and Will Codreanu while backup QB Michael Hamel also tossed a pair of scoring throws to Sal DeMartinis and Aidan Mackay, respectively, as the unbeaten Eagles shot out to a 31-0 halftime lead and captured their third straight road win to begin the 2026 campaign.
Captain Maxwell Parent had a rushing score as well as three 2-point conversion rushes for St. John’s Prep (now 3-0), with sophomore Michael Salemi also scoring via the ground game.
Bishop Fenwick 36, Bishop Stang 28: Andrew Kiricoples was 24-for-31 passing for 328 yards and three touchdowns as Fenwick (2-1) shot out to a 21-point lead before the visitors roared back to tie it, only for the hosts to score once more to hold on for the W.
Ian Guarino ran an interception back for a score and also hit paydirt with a rushing TD for the Crusaders. Jamie Dube, Ethan Boleski and Mo Larrabee were on the receiving end of Kiricoples’ scoring passes.
Winchester 25, Masconomet 22: Jack Engel ran for over 100 yards and scored a touchdown in what head coach Pat Sheehan called “a career best game for him” while the Chieftains played well defensively the entire night, narrowly missing out on their first victory of the year.
