LYNNFIELD - Discipline, dedication and self-motivation are usually the words associated with competitive running. Teamwork, however, is a major role that did play a rarity, although it did play a role during last Friday's 36th annual Social Club Scholarship Road Race in Lynnfield.
Peter Mallett, a 20-year-old junior at the University of New Hampshire, recorded the fastest time at 15:41 while his fellow UNH training partner, Steve Meinelt, finished just a second behind at 15:42 in the 3.1-mile race. Mallett willingly acknowledged the part that Meinelt, also 20, played in the race.
"He gave me the win. His job was just to go out there and pull me," said Mallett, a Manchester, N.H. native whose aunt lives in Lynnfield. "He's my training partner and he wanted to do better shape than I am right now."
Mallett and Meinelt are two of the anchors of the cross country team at UNH and generally run about 70 and 100 miles a week, respectively. Over the summer they try to run together twice a week. Meinelt's motivation for the race was not a selfish one.
"[I was running] strictly for my buddy," said Meinelt, who decided to run the route a second time after crossing the finish line. "I was helping him out. I told him before that I was going to do it twice. I'm thinking of doing a 10-miler so I wanted to go a little further. I figured I'll help him and then I'll just do it again."
Mallett was running the race for a third time.
"Last year I was dehydrated and went out the back door," he added. "This year I used it as a tune-up race."
Meinelt's selfless act personified a race in which the overall goal is to raise scholarship money for graduating seniors as much as lowering finishing times.
As for the women's winner, it was up to Amy Wallace to defend her family's name. With a winning time of 20:10, she did just that.
Shawn Wallace, Amy's younger brother, had won the men's division the last two years, but had to sit out this year's race with an injury. Originally from Wakefield, Wallace still had plenty of familiar faces surrounding her during the race, even though her brother was forced to watch from the crowd.
"I'm here cheering on these guys. They're my idols," Shawn said.
Amy's older brother, Bill Wallace, a science teacher at Lynnfield High School, ran the race while pushing his daughter in a stroller. Amy's mother, Judy, also competed this year and said, "I am very proud of her. I am proud of my son who ran with my granddaughter, too."

"I ran faster last time and came

slower and came in first."

As for the race itself, "I was

while in a little group. Then for
the last half-mile I was on my

"I ran faster last time and came in second," said Wallace, who graduated from Wake Forest on a track and cross country scholarship in 1999. "This time I ran slower and came in first."
As far as Wallace's training goes she said, "I'm dedicated, I ran all through the winter time when it was negative 10 degrees;

However, describing herself more as a distance runner, Amy is looking forward to her next race, which will be the 10K
Richard's wife, Jeannette Palermo, a key organizer of the event, was also all smiles.
"I think the race went really well," Jeannette said. "Since it that helped us achieve our biggest turnout to date and we're certainly looking forward to next year's race."
Mallett's advice to anyone looking to take away his title next year: "Run a lot. Run everyday. And you better have trained harder than I did."
Or at least as hard as Steve Meinelt did.

"Last year at this time [because it was so hot] we were hosing people off [before the race]," she said. "The beauty of this race is that you don't need to cross the finish line to be a winner. The goal of this is that the money that we raise goes to the Lynnfield [Social] Club Scholarship Fund."
The three graduating seniors who received scholarships, all from Lynnfield High School, were Caila Nickerson, Sarah Gerbick and Richard Palermo Jr.
Nickerson, whose mother is a teacher at Lynnfield, is heading to Syracuse. Gerbick, a National Honor Society Member and psychology major, will attend UMass-Amherst while Palermo Jr., a business major, will join Meinelt and Mallett at UNH.
Palermo's father, School Superintendent Richard Palermo, achieved the fastest time among male Couple Club members at 20:56 and Susan Beaulieu led the women at 27:01.

2003 LYNNFIELD HIGH FOOTBALL SEASON IN REVIEW
PEABODY & LYNNFIELD WEEKLY NEWS - 978-532-5880
GAME 1 - Saturday, September 13 - at Lynnfield
Hamilton-Wenham 14, Lynnfield 6
The Pioneers were unable to avoid their third consecutive opening day loss despite holding a 6-0 halftime lead. Senior quarterback Lou Navarro's 1-yard QB keeper late in the first quarter was the game's only score until Hamilton-Wenham scored two third quarter TDs. Senior Andy Poor had an interception while captains Derek Cataldo and Will Chiccarelli led the defense with seven tackles apiece.
GAME 2 - Saturday, September 20 - at Lynnfield
Lynnfield 12, North Andover 2
Lynnfield defeated the CAL's second biggest team for the second straight year despite losing senior captain Derek Cataldo for the season with a knee injury. All recovered fumbles in this 10-turnover affair. The Pioneers churned their way to victory behind the legs of seniors Jamie Solomon and Chris Stivers. Will Chiccarelli set the tone with 11 tackles.
GAME 3 - Saturday, September 27 - at Triton
Lynnfield 14, Triton 0
The Pioneers found themselves above .500 for the first time since 1996 after a second straight defensive shutout. Lynnfield opened the game with an 80-yard drive and jumped on top early on Chris Stivers' 42-yard sprint up the middle. Lou Navarro shined, hooking up with Jessie Conklin on a beautiful over-the-shoulder catch for 4 yards down the right sideline that set up junior Sam Hummer's 24-yard TD run on his first carry of the season. Seniors Stivers, Andy Poor, Mike Griffin and Sean Reed led the defense.
GAME 4 - Saturday, October 4 - at Lynnfield
Wilmington 32, Lynnfield 12
Lynnfield's hopes of winning three in a row vanished when Wilmington scored TDs on its first four drives. The Wildcats piled up 229 yards on the ground amidst heavy downpours, playing smash-mouth football and controlling the clock. Jamie Solomon gained 117 yards and senior fullback Nick Poti wasn't far behind with 74 of his own. Lynnfield rallied to make it 24-12 on Poti's 58-yard TD run in the third quarter. Will Chiccarelli and Andy Poor led the team in tackles.
GAME 5 - Friday, October 10 - at Lynnfield
Lynnfield 26, Newburyport 8
Let there be light! Lynnfield shined, playing the first, night home game in school history while beating Newburyport for the first time in 11 years. The Pioneer "D" forced two first quarter turnovers while the offense scored TDs on three of its first four possessions. Lou Navarro, Jamie Solomon and Nick Poti each ran for touchdowns as Lynnfield dominated the Clippers, outgaining them in total yards, 249-95. Seniors Ryan Sheehen, Nick Fringuelli, Will Chiccarelli and Jeff Adelson all helped to dominate the line of scrimmage.
GAME 6 - Friday, October 17 - at Amesbury
Lynnfield 13, Amesbury 0
GAME 8 - Saturday, November 8 - at M[?]
Masconomet 26, Lynnfield 21
The Pioneers let another late lead slip away as the Chieftains drove 59 yards on four plays to score in the game's final minute. Lou Navarro's 40-yard TD pass to Ricky Parziale late in the fourth quarter set the

Pioneers hoping to stop North Reading's Thanksgiving Day momentum
continued from previous page
The Pioneers lost last year, 13-12, on the final play of the game when, on fourth-and-goal from the 6-yard line, the Hornets completed a desperation shuffle pass. "It's going to be an important game for this team," acknowledged Lynnfield senior Justin Motta. "The last two years we were supposed to win and we didn't win. To lose the game last year on the last play of the game is heartbreaking. It's a game I'll never forget...but we're hoping to change that memory this year."
Lynnfield offensive coordinator Matt Cunningham said that he expects a low-scoring game as his team focuses on controlling the clock and establishing the running game. That strategy works just fine for running back Jamie Solomon.
"I care more about beating North Reading than I do about being 6-4," said Solomon, who figures to get the back trap up the middie.

bulk of the carries. Luckily, Solomon and his teammates have a chance to do both.
"It's definitely the biggest game of the year," said senior guard Sean Reed, who will be without fellow lineman Mike Griffin, who suffered a season-ending leg injury last week at Ipswich. "For the seniors, it's the biggest game of our lives. I thought we could have done a little better this year. There were some games that we were in that didn't go our way. We were a few plays away from being, who knows, maybe 9-1 or 8-2."
Lynnfield, who hasn't lost three straight to North Reading since the early 1980s, seems to hold the advantage this Thanksgiving considering that it will be facing a Hornets team that is made up of mostly juniors. North Reading head coach Jeff Wall knows that the Pioneers can play with anybody in the league, or in independent North Reading's case, out of the league.
"When we got the game film from the Lynnfield-Hamilton-Wenham game to prepare for our game against H-W, the coaching staff agreed that Lynnfield was going to be one of the tougher games," said North Reading's first-year coach.
For Lynnfield senior Will Chiccarelli, the Thanksgiving Day game is more than just a battle: "Since we can't be in the postseason, this is our Super Bowl," Chiccarelli said.
"Will Chiccarelli is...
league," said senior and fellow lineman...
Papagni concurred: "Without a doubt, Chiccarelli is our defensive stalwart. He's our leading tackler. Teams run away from him and he still makes 10 tackles a game. We're kind of a no-superstar type defense, but Chiccarelli had been a really huge player for us. Chiccarelli, Ryan Sheehan and Andy Poor are probably the top three players for our defense."
NO HEADLINES, JUST RESULTS
Andy Poor
Talk about a gamer. This 6-foot-5, 210-pounder has managed to play the entire season despite a torn rotator cuff in his shoulder. As if that wasn't enough, a fractured foot has also plagued Poor in recent weeks.
However, injuries haven't stopped Poor from being one of Lynnfield's top two-way players. The tight end has hauled in 13 passes for 202 yards, despite continually drawing double coverage.
"He's a great receiver, a good blocker and he's easy to see," said Navarro of one of his favorite targets.
"It's nice to throw to him, you just put it up high and he always comes down with it. I have a lot of confidence throwing to him."
Chris Stivers might not draw as much attention as Lynnfield's giant tight end, but the unheralded senior also deserves recognition this season as one of Lynnfield's most reliable and versatile players.
"Chris Stivers does a real nice job for us at defensive end," Unger said. "He's a guy that can play tailback, wingback or receiver if we need him to. He gives us

LOOK OUT NEXT YEAR
Ricky Parziale
Junior wide receiver Ricky Parziale (16 catches for 241 yards, 1 TD) teamed up with senior Jesse Conklin (seven catches for 199 yards) to provide some big plays for the Pioneers this season. The speedy 5-foot 9-inch, 135-pound receiver also played his best game of the season against H-W, reeling in six passes for 74 yards.
"Ricky's been really good this year at wide receiver," said senior fullback Nick Poti. "He's going to be very good next year. We've got high hopes for him."

hole when there's no hole so he can at least get a few yards."
Seniors Nick Poti (225 yards on 23 carries, 6 TDs) and Chris Stivers (235 yards on 56 carries, one TD) also helped to carry the workload in the Pioneer backfield. Throughout the season, Lynnfield perfected the fullback trap up the middle (a.k.a. "Poti's Play"), allowing the senior 5-foot-8, 180-pounder to break off some impressive runs this year.
DEFENSIVE STOPPER
Will Chiccarelli
The Lynnfield coaching staff has raved about the play of the soft-spoken Will Chiccarelli after virtually every game this season.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound defensive lineman, dubbed "Mr. Consistency" by line coach Ed Unger, emerged as the leader of the defense after senior captain Derek Cataldo was lost for the season in Week 2.
"Will Chiccarelli is the best defensive end in the league," said senior and fellow lineman Sean Reed.
Papagni concurred: "Without a doubt, Chiccarelli is our defensive stalwart. He's our leading tackler. Teams run away from him and he still makes 10 tackles a game. We're kind of a no-superstar type defense, but Chiccarelli had been a really huge player for us. Chiccarelli, Ryan Sheehan and Andy Poor are probably the top three players for our defense."

Lynnfield 21, Ipswich 0
The Pioneers defeated Ipswich for just the second time in 10 years behind a solid defensive effort and two Jamie Solomon TD runs.

Nick Poti's 7-yard TD run in the third quarter helped Lynnfield secure the win despite the loss of senior lineman Mike Griffin for the season with a leg injury.

2003 LYNNFIELD HIGH FOOTBALL SEASON IN REVIEW
GAME 1 - Saturday, September 13 - at Lynnfield
Hamilton-Wenham 14, Lynnfield 6
The Pioneers were unable to avoid their third consecutive opening day loss despite holding a 6-0 halftime lead. Senior quarterback Lou Navarro's 1-yard QB keeper late in the first quarter was the game's only score until Hamilton-Wenham scored two third quarter TDs. Senior Andy Poor had an interception while captains Derek Cataldo and Will Chiccarelli led the defense with seven tackles apiece.
GAME 2 - Saturday, September 20 - at Lynnfield
Lynnfield 12, North Andover 2
Lynnfield defeated the CAL's second biggest team for the second straight year despite losing senior captain Derek Cataldo for the season with a knee injury. Cataldo, senior Justin Motta and junior Joe LaMusta all recovered fumbles in this 10-turnover affair. The Pioneers churned their way to victory behind the legs of seniors Jamie Solomon and Chris Stivers. Will Chiccarelli set the tone with 11 tackles.
GAME 3 - Saturday, September 27 - at Triton
Lynnfield 14, Triton 0
The Pioneers found themselves above .500 for the first time since 1996 after a second straight defensive shutout. Lynnfield opened the game with an 80-yard drive and jumped on top early on Chris Stivers' 42-yard sprint up the middle. Lou Navarro shined, hooking up with Jessie Conklin on a beautiful over-the-shoulder catch for 4 yards down the right sideline that set up junior Sam Hummer's 24-yard TD run on his first carry of the season. Seniors Stivers, Andy Poor, Mike Griffin and Sean Reed led the defense.
GAME 4 - Saturday, October 4 - at Lynnfield
Wilmington 32, Lynnfield 12
Lynnfield's hopes of winning three in a row vanished when Wilmington scored TDs on its first four drives. The Wildcats piled up 229 yards on the ground amidst heavy downpours, playing smash-mouth football and controlling the clock. Jamie Solomon gained 117 yards and senior fullback Nick Poti wasn't far behind with 74 of his own. Lynnfield rallied to make it 24-12 on Poti's 58-yard TD run in the third quarter. Will Chiccarelli and Andy Poor led the team in tackles.
GAME 5 - Friday, October 10 - at Lynnfield
Lynnfield 26, Newburyport 8
Let there be light! Lynnfield shined, playing the first night home game in school history while beating Newburyport for the first time in 11 years. The Pioneer "D" forced two first quarter turnovers while the offense scored TDs on three of its first four possessions. Lou Navarro, Jamie Solomon and Nick Poti each ran for touchdowns as Lynnfield dominated the Clippers, outgaining them in total yards, 249-95. Seniors Ryan Sheehen, Nick Fringuelli, Will Chiccarelli and Jeff Adelson all helped to dominate the line of scrimmage.

Peabody 14s move on
Come-from-behind win advances Babe Ruth All Stars
by Tom Jensen
LYNN - The Peabody 14-year-old Babe Ruth All-Stars remained alive for a state championship on Monday night with a gutsy, come-from-behind 9-5 win over Milton at Breed Field.
The win, which followed Sunday's tough 2-1 loss to Fall River in the double elimination tournament, sent Peabody to the next round in the loser's bracket on Tuesday (after this newspaper went to press) against Newton.
Peabody trailed 4-1 after one inning but rallied to score four runs in the third inning to take a lead it would never relinquish. Meanwhile, Junior Nunez came out of the bullpen to toss four innings of shutout ball, allowing just two hits and no walks while striking out six. "[Junior] did a good job but it was a team effort," said Peabody manager Ed Nunez of his son's relief effort.
"Everybody contributed. You can't say too much about these guys. They're all players. They're not quitters. We've got guys coming off the bench who contributed, too. I can't single anyone out."
After taking a 1-0 lead in the first inning on James Noftle's RBI single, Milton came back strong in the bottom of the first the bottom of the seventh after giving up a run but had enough
Peabody pitcher Junior Nunez's effort out of the bullpen helped lead the 14-year-old All Stars to a win over Milton on Monday night.
tage of a lead-off walk, two Peabody errors, two steals and a pair of well-timed singles off Noftle, the Peabody starter.
Peabody right fielder Jeff Reinhold appeared to have cut the deficit to 4-2 in the second with a mammoth solo homer over the fence in left-center. However, the first base umpire took the run off of the board when it was ruled that Reinhold failed to touch first base on his way around the bases.
"It was a controversial call because there's a low spot by the first base bag," explained Peabody's assistant coach Tom Pyburn. "When Reinhold went by he just caught the edge of it. It was kind of a tough call and we didn't feel the umpire had a good view at it, but at the same time, Reinhold crushed the ball. It was a momentum builder."
Nunez, who threw a no-hitter last year as a 13-year-old, came in to pitch the second inning and promptly retired the side while striking out two batters looking. Suddenly, a 4-1 deficit didn't seem so intimidating as Peabody rallied around its strong-armed pitcher and unfortunate right fielder.
Milton began to unravel in the third as Nunez walked on a full count and soon landed on second after a passed ball. After Sucharewicz grounded out to the shortstop, sending Nunez to third, Godfrey drew a four-pitch walk and stole second. Noftle, who gave up four runs

in the first as the starter, singled up the middle to score Nunez and Godfrey and then went to second on the throw home making it 4-3. Third baseman Ray Melvin reached on an error by the third baseman that sent Godfrey to third. Melvin greeted Milton relief pitcher Tim Walsh by stealing second.
With runners on second and third, Reinhold singled up the middle on a full count, scoring Melvin and Godfrey and giving Peabody the lead at 5-4. Reinhold touched first base this time and even took second on the throw home.
Center fielder Jeff Sousa singled to Reinhold to third and took second on the throw, but the inning ended when Pyburn grounded out to short after Reinhold was thrown out at home on Wilson's botched squeeze bunt attempt.
Nunez chalked up two more Ks in the bottom of the fourth and began a rally in the top of the fifth when he singled to center and then stole second. Peabody's aggressiveness on the base path kept the pressure on the Milton pitchers all night. Sucharewicz singled to center, scoring Nunez, and Peabody added its second run doubled home Sucharewicz, who swiped second to extend the lead to 7-5.
Godfrey ran into trouble in the bottom of the seventh after giving up a run but had enough composure to strand runners on second and third to end the game as Peabody held on for the 9-5 victory.
In the spirit of Babe Ruth Baseball, Peabody manager Ed Nunez said "it was a team effort today. I'm going to group the whole team as the stars tonight."
Milton manager, Mike Kinnealey, was quick to offer praise to both teams.
"It was a good game, my kids strung together some hits early on, which I was really proud of. Peabody's pitcher, Nunez, did exactly what his coach needed him to do, which was shut our team down after a good first inning."

Rain can't dampen Peabody Golf Day
Ninth annual event at Salem Country Club is a 'win-win' for everyone involved
by Tom Jensen
PEABODY - Jack Kondichook owns a t-shirt that reads: "If it goes right it's a slice. If it goes left, it's a hook and if it goes straight it's a miracle!"
Many of the participants at Monday's Ninth Annual Peabody Golf Day, at Salem Country Club, would probably agree with that same sentiment.
Kondichook, along with 255 other Peabody residents, woke up early on one morning in July on registration day just to be part of the Monday's festivities.
"I haven't missed a year yet," said Kondichook. "It's fantastic. This whole place is beautiful. I used to caddie here when I was a kid. The girl that signed people up recognized me since I'm first in line every year. I arrived at Town Hall at 4:30 in the morning."
Waking up early, coupled with the $75 donation that includes a luncheon and the use of a golf cart, seems like a small price to pay in order to play a private club that is ranked among the Top 75 in the entire country.
Although it rained this year for the first time in the event's history (the morning flight was delayed 10 minutes), it didn't seem to dampen anybody's spirit.
"It's just awesome," said Peabody resident Bill Bombaci of the Donald Ross layout. "It's a beautiful golf course and they keep it in fabulous condition. Last year the weather was just the opposite, it was steaming hot and humid all day. It really was a great day today.
"The first hole is a great hole. You're hitting from an elevated tee and it's a nice view. The hardest thing that we found is the greens. Everything else is pretty much wide open, and once you're on the green, is pretty tricky."
Jack Dunn, who worked at the club during the U.S. Women's Open in 1984, had the right attitude concerning the non-competitive fundraiser. "Today can be described as a nice walk in the woods ruined by a white little ball," he said. "I used to play a lot, but I haven't played in about five years. A lot of the greens are pretty treacherous, but we did pretty good on the 13th hole."
The 13th is a 340-yard, par 4 considered to be the club's signature hole with its bowl-shaped fairway and spectacular green. Ben Crenshaw, who played here in the 2001 U.S. Senior Open, considers it to be one of his favorites in the world. Of the 400 courses and those that Ross is credited with, the 13th is widely recognized as one of his best ever.
Al Broome, an avid golfer, certainly looked like a professional golfer, even if he didn't necessarily hit the ball like one.

The wet weather at Monday's Ninth Annual Peabody Golf Day at Salem Country Club didn't seem to bother Jack Sullivan (left) as he putted out on the 18th hole. The conditions may have played a part, however, in George Hennessey (right), the former Peabody High golf coach, missing a putt on the 11th.

continued from page 11
Broome explained with a big grin while enjoying a hearty sandwich at the luncheon. "I'm going to have to go home and have it exorcised or something. I played well with my irons, I stayed in the middle of the fairway, but I couldn't putt to save my soul.
"This is my second year playing the course. It's a great time and it's a chance to meet your neighbors."
Unfortunately, Broome had to let his next-door neighbors win because he had to ride home with them.
"Actually," he said, "Maybe I should have tried to win because it's only a 15-minute walk."
Broome considered this to be the opportunity of a lifetime for any golfer.
"I have friends of mine who I tell about this and they want to move to Peabody just to play here once a year," he said.
Credit has to be given to the Salem Country Club for genuinely reaching out to the community.
"We feel very special that we can be involved in the community affairs within Peabody," said Robert P. McCormack, president of the club. "Not that we were the reason, but I understand that now the cities of Beverly and Salem are doing the same thing as us."
McCormack also praised the man who has been behind the organization of Peabody Golf Day.
"Over the past nine years, Joe O'Boyle has gotten the whip out and he's asked these volunteers to help out to make this day a success," McCormack said. "The commitment will always be there for the Salem Country Club to do our part to be part of the community of the city of Peabody."
Commitment to the community is the driving force behind the fundraiser.
"Back in 1995, we were celebrating our centennial just as the city was celebrating their bicentennial," explained the 83-year-old O'Boyle, a Salem CC member since 1967. "I was part of a committee that was brainstorming ideas for how to celebrate the club's centennial. Having a big mouth, I suggested that we try to do something community-related and the committee thought that was a great idea and they elected me chairman.
"We're going to put $21,000 in the bank from this year's tournament, so we're up to $184,000 [overall], and what we do is pay out the interest every year to the students so that if something happens for some reason and we have to discontinue the tournament, the students will still be able to benefit."
In addition to the scholarships, the club picks up all of the costs for the event, ensuring that every nickel goes to the community.
The Mayor of Peabody, Mike Bonfanti, does not golf, but was one of those attending the luncheon.
"I was here today to honor the two young people being given scholarships and also to show support for Salem Country Club for the good work that they do in having the Peabody Golf Day, which benefits the residents in two ways: to play golf on a private course and also to raise funds for the kids," Bonfanti said. "It's a real win-win situation."

Memorial Scholarship Fund were Jessica Cyr and Jesse Correia. Cyr will attend the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth while double majoring in Portuguese and Political Science while Correia will be enrolling at Merrimack College.
"We had a great day as usual," added Peabody resident Tom Moran, who has played in all nine Peabody Golf Days.
"It's a great course and I can't say enough about it. We're lucky to be able to take advantage of it. It's nice of the club to do it for us and the kids."

Big plays burn Pioneers
by Tom Jensen
LYNNFIELD - While the names and faces may change, the story remains the same. For the third straight year, the Lynnfield High School football team lost its opening game of the season in dramatic fashion. Saturday's 14-6 loss against Hamilton-Wenham at the Lynnfield Middle School was a mirror image of last year's 19-13 season opening defeat at the hands of Ipswich. In addition, the game marked the sixth win for the Generals over Lynnfield in the last seven years.
Lynnfield led 6-0 going into halftime thanks to quarterback Lou Navarro's one-yard QB sneak with 2:55 left in the first quarter that capped a nine-play, 67-yard drive. The rest of the game, however, belonged to the Generals' running back Ryan Herrick, who amassed 187 yards rushing on 15 carries and two scores.
Despite a huge game from tight end Andy Poor (above), Lynnfield dropped its season-opener on Saturday.

"No doubt about it," Weinhold said. "He's had runs like that in every scrimmage that we've had. He's only 165 pounds but he's a tough kid; a mentally tough kid."
Adams also took notice of Herrick.
"That kid's an excellent runner," said Adams. "He's got some breakaway speed. The first one he popped free, which is very difficult to do. On the second one he broke two
tackles or maybe even three."
Lynnfield's defense stopped Hamilton-Wenham's passing game cold, as evidenced by Generals quarterback Jeff Jensen's one completion out of eight attempts for just nine yards. Generally speaking, making an offense become so one-dimensional is a key to success for the defense. But while the Pioneer "D" shut down the passing attack, it failed to contain Herrick.
"Our defensive backfield obviously covered them well," said Adams.
Herrick took his first handoff of the third quarter and broke it 80 yards as Hamilton-Wenham scored on its first offensive play of the second half to take a 7-6 lead. Seven minutes later, with only 25 seconds left in the third quarter, Herrick got the ball on 2nd-and-9 at the Lynnfield 46-yard line and broke two tackles before cutting back across
the field to scamper all the way to the end zone to give the Generals all the cushion they would need. "I hate to say it," r Lynnfield head coach Bill Adams said, "but it was the same thing in the opening game last year against Ipswich. One kid [Ipswich RB Rich Sotiropoulos] had two long runs in the second half and he scored three touchdowns against us."
H-W coach Bob Weinhold calls Herrick the emotional leader of his team.
Navarro hit WR Ricky Parziale on consecutive passes, which were good for 11 and four yards to put Lynnfield at the Hamilton-Wenham 49 yard line with 1:35 left on the clock.
But on 2nd-and-6, the senior QB completed an ill-advised pass to FB Nick Poti, who was stopped for a five-yard loss. After an incomplete- ion on 3rd-and-11, Navarro had his
PIONEERS

"They didn't hay a tremendous number of opportunities to even complete passes because we were around and knocking balls down."
Lynnfield safety Andy Poor made a key interception with 2:05 to go in the game to give the Pioneers one last drive to try to pull even.

fourth down pass batted up into the air by linebacker Tim Puopolo and the ball landed into the hands of Herrick, who returned it all the way to the Pioneer 27-yard line.
Among the bright spots for Lynnfield was the play of co-captain Poor.
"I thought Andy Poor was immense," Adams said of the 6-foot-5, 210-pound Poor, who caught four passes for 62 yards from his tight end position. "With his height and athletic ability he made a couple of catches with the defense hanging all over him. He's a real nice all-around player. We feel that a healthy Andy Poor is probably the best tight end in the league and arguably one of the best players in the league."
Another bright spot was the punting of sophomore Tino Cohee, who buried H-W deep in its own territory with some terrific kicks, including punts of 42 and 50 yards.
While the Pioneers didn't win the game, they certainly raised some eyebrows. Hamilton Wenham coach Bob Weinhold said, "Lynnfield's going to win games this year. They're a physical team up front, their line is excellent, their linebackers are excellent and that quarterback has come a long way in a week."
It was Lynnfield's Navarro who looked like the experienced quarterback on the field. Though he threw two interceptions, Navarro finished the game 14-for-23 with 145 yards passing.
"I thought Lou did very well," Adams said. "He was pretty calm and he performed very well. He has some talent and the like him."
The Pioneers struggled with their running game due to the fact that running back Jamie Solomon was playing both ways for the first time in his career while nursing a muscle pull in his leg suffered earlier on in the week. Solomon finished with 31 yards on 12 carries. The performances of Poor and Parziale (five catches for 59 yards) prove that Lynnfield should put some points on the board this season and a healthy Solomon will only add to an offense on the rise.
On the defensive side of the ball, Lynnfield captains Derek Cataldo and Will Chiccarelli led the Pioneers in tackles with seven apiece.
"I'm proud of the kids' effort," concluded Adams. "Hamilton-Wenham is a good team. We're going to work hard and hopefully have an even better outing next week [Saturday at home against North Andover at 11 a.m.]. We gave them a tough game and I would like to hope that we earned their respect."

Historic night for Pioneer football team
OCTOBER 16, 2003
Pioneers 'light up' Clippers
Night game debut produces first 'W' vs. Newburyport in 11 years
by Tom Jensen
LYNNFIELD - The Lynnfield High football team had never played a home game at night before. It also hadn't beaten Newburyport High in 11 years. Well, at least that was the story before last Friday night's 26-8 win against the Clippers that came under the lights at Lynnfield Middle School and improved the Pioneers' record 3-2.
"We wrote history tonight," said Lynnfield head coach Bill Adams, whose team decided to play the night game in order to give the players the day off on Saturday for SATs. "We made our own little piece of history. There has never been lights for Lynnfield football at home [before]. Tonight, it was a total team effort, and we have to give credit to coach [Matt] Cunningham, who 20-something points on the board for the first time in a long time."
The Pioneers shined right from the start, as their defense forced two Newburyport turnovers in the first quarter, opening the door for their offense to score touchdowns on three of their first four drives to start the game. Lynnfield controlled the tempo of the game right from the start, a stark contrast to their previous game, a 32-12 turnover-

yards. After a four-yard run by Solomon, who finished with 88 yards on 20 carries, Navarro found pay dirt with a six-yard scramble giving Lynnfield a 7-0 lead.
Navarro (3-for-6 for 64 yards) led another Lynnfield scoring drive after Pioneers' defensive back Andy Poor intercepted a Kevin Sullivan pass on Newburyport's 19-yard line. The and returned it back to the 6-foot-5 Poor reeled in a seven-yard TD pass from Navarro three minutes later to increase the Pioneer lead to 13-0.
"We think Lou is an excellent quarterback," said Adams. "He's got great courage and determination. The touchdown pass was good evidence. It was a nice fake, he waited and he had a nice target [in Poor] and he drilled him."
The Lynnfield running attack racked up 185 yards on 38 carries and scored three touchdowns on the night. Midway through the second quarter, with Lynnfield already up 13-0, it took Solomon just three carries to bring the Pioneers from their own 42-yard line all the way into the end zone.
After a bruising 13-yard run in which he overturned two defenders, Solomon took a pitch 43 yards up the right sideline down to the Clippers two-yard line and then scored up the mid-dle on the next play.
The Pioneers scored their final touchdown on 5-foot-8, 180-pound fullback Nick Poti's 42-yard TD run in the third quarter to up the lead to 26-0 "Solomon's] a kid we've seen

for three years and I've just seen him get better and better," said Guadiano, whose team mus-tered just 95 yards from scrimmage on the day.
"He's bigger and stronger now and he runs real hard."
"We're big fans of controlling the clock and controlling the way the game is played," acknowledged Lynnfield line-man coach Ed Unger. "If we're able to do that then we feel we can muscle up on almost any team in the league. We could see Thursday night that the kids were pumped up when we prac-ticed under the lights. They were just ready to go."
"The fact that Newburyport has beaten us 11 straight years showed up in one newspaper," said Lynnfield defensive coordi-nator Joe Papagni, "and we kind of used that as motivation say-ing, 'we don't want to live his-tory; we want to make history.'"
On this historic night, the only offense that Newburyport was able to manage was a fourth-quarter, 34-yard TD run by Sullivan, who completed just one of his six pass attempts for 10 yards. Poor and Conklin had interceptions while Poti, Chiccarelli and linebacker Justin Motta each recorded a sack on the night.
[Left column excerpt]
Ryan Sheehan, Chiccarelli, and unheralded senior lineman Nick Fringueli led the Pioneers with four tackles apiece. Senior Jeff Adelson also chipped in with three tackles.
"Adelson has helped us out on defense," said Unger. "We rotate in a lot of guys and he gives the starters a lot of rest. He's really worked himself into a player this year."
"Our defense was fantastic, and except for Wilmington, has been all season long," said Adams, whose Pioneers will once again be playing under the lights this week, only this time at Amesbury on Friday in a 7 p.m. kickoff.
"I can't be too disappointed with the score being what it was. It was about the only thing that they accomplished."

AMESBURY - The Lynnfield High football team improved its record to 4-2 at the expense of Amesbury High last Friday night with a hard fought 13-0 shutout victory.
After clinging to a precarious 6-0 lead for most of the second half, Lynnfield senior Jamie Solomon intercepted a pass with 21 seconds remaining in the game and returned it 20 yards to the end zone to ice the victory. Lynnfield has now shut out Amesbury two straight years and has outscored the Indians 62-6 during the last three seasons. Overall, Lynnfield has won five straight meetings and eight of the last nine.
"We came out a little more determined [after halftime]," said Lynnfield head coach Bill Adams, whose defense has allowed less than 10 points per game this season. "We played good defense and we took charge of the second half. Our defense has gotten tougher and tougher."
After a scoreless first half, the Pioneers got a huge defensive stop midway through the third quarter. On 4th-and-2 from the Pioneer 24-yard line, senior linebacker Ryan Sheehan burst through the middle of the line and stopped Amesbury running back Evan Therrien just short of the first down marker.
Lynnfield proceeded to drive 76 yards behind the accurate passing of Lou Navarro (3-for-3 on the drive for 38 yards), who hit wide out Ricky Parziale on a key third down completion. Solomon, who accumulated 111 yards on 23 carries, scampered into the end zone on a pitch to the outside from 17 yards out with just 14 seconds left in the third quarter to break the scoreless tie and give his team a 6-0 lead.
"That was a real crucial drive in the second half," Adams said. "That was some great passing by Lou Navarro [4-for-7 for 48 yards on the night] and Solomon really came to play in that second half. He ran like a man in that second half."
[Navarro's 23-yard completion to Parziale] was just a big play," concurred Amesbury coach Tom Connors. "It was 3rd-and-13 and we were in the right coverage but we got beat. If we could have kept them out of the end zone that time then you never know what could have happened."
The Pioneers failed to capitalize on three consecutive possessions inside the Amesbury 30-yard line to open the game. Pioneer junior defensive back Sam Hummer intercepted an E.J. Flannigan pass during the opening series to give Lynnfield good field position at midfield. However, the Indians defense forced a Navarro incompletion on 4th-and-7 at the Amesbury 27-yard line.
On the Indians following possession, Lynnfield senior lineman Nick Fringuelli sacked Flannigan for an eight-yard loss on 3rd-and-4 at the Amesbury 25-yard line to force an Amesbury punt. Once again, Lynnfield was able to get yards, but not points. A 32-yard run by Solomon brought the ball down to the Amesbury 36-yard line and put the Pioneers in good position to tally their first score, but the offense couldn't deliver.
"Mike Griffin is only a second-year player," said Adams, who needed his line to step up with the injury to linebacker Justin Motta (foot). "[Griffin] is doing a strong athletic bid and our plays later, it was the Indians who came away with a big stop when Solomon was stood up on 4th-and-2 deep inside Amesbury territory. Lynnfield caught another break.
The Pioneers head into a bye week this week with good spirits, but will have to face four-time defending CAL champs, the

"Mike Griffin is only a sec-
ond-year player," said Adams,
who needed his line to step up
with the injury to linebacker
Justin Motta (foot). "[Griffin] is
a big, strong athletic kid and
he's learning more and more as
we go along. Last year he only
played offense. This year he's
coming through. We're driving
him to make him better. Mike
Griffin grew up in the second
half. He's staying lower and
he's taking more control at the
line of scrimmage. He's getting
better and better every week."
The resilient Indians, howev-
er, still had a chance to pull out
the win with two minutes left in
the game and a little more 80
yards to go. On first down from
the Amesbury 16-yard line,
Parziale read the eyes of
Flannigan and stepped in front
of his ill-advised pass to put the
Pioneers back in the driver's
seat. The Indians defense
stopped Lynnfield's offense
cold and, miraculously, took
over on downs with 21 seconds
left, still needing to go 80 yards
for a potential game-winning
score before Solomon ended
the game with his dramatic
interception.
"We knew that Lynnfield was
a senior-laden team and we
knew that they were big up
front," said Connors, whose
team fell to 2-4. "They were
inviting us to run up inside and
that's what we did. We've been
playing good defense all year
and we thought that we played
good defense again tonight.
This is exactly what we expect-
ed for a game. We were hoping
to come out on the other side of
the scoreboard!"
The Pioneer 'D' stepped up
time and time again in the
fourth quarter after securing the
late third quarter lead on
Solomon's TD run. When it
mattered the most, the Indians
could manage only a 21-yard
drive, their longest of the game,
against the stingy Lynnfield
defense.
Behind a power running game
and the legs of Solomon and
Stivers, Lynnfield was able to
eat up almost five minutes of
the clock in the fourth quarter
before being forced to punt
from midfield with just under
two minutes to play.
Mike Griffin (12 tackles),
Sheehan (nine), defensive back
Andy Poor (eight) and Stivers
(five) all helped Lynnfield con-
trol the line of scrimmage in
what was a classic battle of two
power running games.
Four plays later, it was the
Indians who came away with a
big stop when Solomon was
stood up on 4th-and-2 deep
inside Amesbury territory.
Lynnfield caught another break
when they sniffed out a little
Amesbury trickery and stuffed
Flannigan's running attempt on
a fake punt on 4th-and-5 from
his own 30-yard line to open up
the second quarter. Running
back Chris Stivers, who fin-
ished with 42 yards on 10 car-
ries, brought Lynnfield down to
the Amesbury 16-yard line with
a 13-yard run, but Flannigan
saved his Indians with an inter-
ception of a Navarro pass near
the goal line to evade anoth-
er Lynnfield scoring opportuni-
ty.
The Pioneers head into a bye
week but will have to face four-
time defending CAL champs,
Pentucket (4-2), in their final
home game on Saturday, Nov. 1
in a 2 p.m. start.

Common Ground
Wrestling Hall of Fame inductees share similar traits
by Tom Jensen
LYNNFIELD - The
Lynnfield High wrestling
family inducted four
members into its Hall of
Fame last Friday night,
sparking a 54-30 win in a
dual meet against Shep-
herd Hill.
Brendon Reed and
Chas Ryan, both 2001
graduates were inducted
along with 2002 team-
mates Luke Kimball and
Sal Gesamondo. The
induction, originally estab-
lished in 1988, recognizes
wrestlers who have placed
on the state, all state or
New England level.
"I'm really proud of
their accomplishments as
wrestlers," said Lynnfield
coach Craig Stone. "But I
am more proud of their
accomplishments as
young men. When people
ask you why you teach or
why you coach those are
four reasons right over
there.
"As a coach, you're
always looking to see
who's coming up, who's
going to have the opportu-
nity to help you out...the
light at the end of the tun-
nel, so-to-speak. They not
only provided the light, but
they provided the direc-
tion. They were great role
models; they worked real
hard and that work ethic
filtered down to everybody
else.
"We've had 25
wrestlers that have placed
43 times at the state level
and in a small school the
size of Lynnfield, which is
the smallest school in the
North Shore that wrestles,
that's quite a testament to
what's going on here."
The ceremony was
originally slated for Janu-
ary 15, but was postponed
due to frigid weather con-
ditions. The makeup date
offered a new twist to the
festivities as Brendon
Reed, who is tied for
fourth in Lynnfield history
with 105 career wins,
watched on while his
younger brother Sean, a
senior heavyweight and
brother's win total with a
first period pin. Brendon
was a two-time Cape Ann
League Champion in 1999
and 2001 and runner up in
2000.
[Bottom section text, upside down in relation to the main article]
Mission (54-5), Gardner (18-12) and
Hanover (42-37) and
improved to 12-8. Freshman Nick
Vardaro won two matches at 103
pounds and his pin against
Hanover clinched the win as his
match. Reed was the lone triple
winner for Lynnfield while Mike
Smith (119), Stringi (130),
Iacopino (160) and Motta (215)
were double winners.

Hall of Fame induction inspires current Pioneer wrestling team
■ continued from page 11
The Reeds' wrestling roots can be traced back to Vinny, a 1997 graduate and the first Reed to be inducted into the Wrestling Hall of Fame.
"My brother Vinny started wrestling," explains Sean Reed, the senior tri-captain who is 25-1 this year and 105-46 in his career, which places him 18 wins behind Lynnfield High School graduate Randy Greenstein, the school's all-time leader in career wins with 123. "And then Tony [a 1999 Lynnfield High School graduate who fell one win short of joining his brothers] kind of got into it and I went to their matches a lot. "I would have to say that Brendon was the best wrestler among all of the Reeds. Three times he's wrestled at states and three times he's placed...that's tough."
Kimball, a two-time state-place finisher who wrestled as both a 135 and 145-pounder, also comes from a wrestling family, first being exposed through his older brother Matt.
Kimball, a business administration major at Merrimack College, said "I think that when you put yourself around great people that only great things are going to happen. With Coach Stone, Coach Winslow and all of the other wrestlers there was a formula for success and it was fantastic. It just goes to show, I won just four matches as a freshman and as long as you keep putting in that work and keep showing up you are going to be successful. I almost quit as a freshman. I didn't understand the process of putting in the hard work and appreciating the time that it takes to improve. "To be in the Hall of Fame with guys like Chas, Sal and Brendon is just unbelievable," continued Kimball, who ranks ninth all-time in career wins with a record of 86-61, "I don't think it's too far of a reach for anybody because I was nothing when I started. As long as you show up, you're committed and you put in the effort then you're going to be successful."
The postponement of the ceremony also allowed Shepherd-Hill's wrestlers a chance to see the induction of Gesamondo, their assistant coach, who is seventh on the career wins list with a record of 95-41. Gesamondo, who presently plays baseball at Nichols College, illustrated his coach's point about the importance of good teammates.
"Luke Kimball not only was a great co-captain with me, but he's also one of my best friends. I think that he was half of my success, especially at states. I would have been knocked out in the second round. I had a tough match, but Luke gave me the good old 'get tough and if you lose I'm going to beat you up' so I had to get tough."
Ryan, a junior majoring in business at Suffolk University, explained that wrestling "gives you skills in so many different ways. You come and you're working out for yourself, you want to be the best you can be, but at the same time you're working out for your team. There are no excuses out there on the mat. If you lose then you're going to be your fault...nobody else's.
"I played football, where you have 11 other guys on the team," said Ryan, who was a state finalist at the 171-pound level as a senior and finished his career 73-40, which places him 11th all-time. "If you lose then there's a couple of other guys to point your finger at. Here, it's all you. You didn't work out in practice; you missed an opportunity, it shows you how to take responsibility!"
Lynnfield wrestling coach Craig Stone on his new Hall of Fame inductees
'I'm really proud of their accomplishments as wrestlers, but I'm more proud of their accomplishments as young men.'
In addition to Sean Reed's win, the Pioneers also got victories Friday night from Andrew Iizkowitz at 112 pounds, Chris Spinelli at 125, Dave Stringi at 135, senior captain Chris Stivers at 145, Fabio Iacopino at 160, Dan Arsnow at 171 and Justin Motta at 189.
On Sunday, the Pioneers swept a quad-meet with wins over New Mission (54-5), Gardner (18-12) and Hanover (42-37) and improved to 12-8. Freshman Nick Vardaro won two matches at 103 pounds and his pin against Hanover clinched the win as his team trailed 37-36 entering the match. Reed was the lone triple winner for Lynnfield while Mike Smith (119), Stringi (130), Iacopino (160) and Motta (215) were double winners.

Winning attitude captures Pioneers
Resurgent Lynnfield heads into Turkey Day showdown brimming with confidence
By Gary Trask
They may be the smallest team - both literally and physically - in the Cape Ann League, but the 2002 Lynnfield High Pioneers proved just ask Wilmington, North Reading or whoever else is on the schedule. Or even dare take the Pioneers lightly if a were to face them again this weekend.
Part of the reason for Lynnfield's turn-around is that they are expected to not only play well, but to win on the road against the four-game defending league champion.
The Pioneers, who are 4-5 overall heading into Thanksgiving Day, are no longer a pushover.
Just ask Wilmington, North Reading or whoever else is on the schedule. Or even dare take the Pioneers lightly if a were to face them again this weekend.
Part of the reason for Lynnfield's turn-around is that they are expected to not only play well, but to win on the road against the four-game defending league champion.

Vengeful Lynnfield seeking elusive .500 mark
By Gary Trask
The Lynnfield High football team has a pretty good idea what North Reading is going to do on offense when the two teams meet on the turf at the Lynnfield Middle School.
"It's going to be emotional... I've been anticipating this game for four years now," Lynnfield senior Chris Bryant
The problem is that the Pioneers aren't sure if they can stop the Hornets coming the other way. They're going to line up and run right at you, and they really don't do anything that we weren't expecting. We just couldn't stop it. We have to play more disciplined on defense if we want to win."
"It's going to be emotional... I've been anticipating this game for four years now,"
- Lynnfield senior Chris Bryant
3rd annual meeting between the two schools, 21-6, on the strength of talkback. John Murphy's 231 rushing yards and two touchdowns. If you watch the film of last year's game, you know the North Reading front was better than ours. We had to have our offense playing well to move the ball.

OFFENSIVE STUD
Jamie Solomon
The Pioneers got equal production from both Solomon (573 yards on 118 carries, 5.09 yards a carry) and Chris Bryant (509 yards on 111 carries. Three TDs) this season. But it was Solomon, who is also the team's place-kicker, who had a knack for the big play, scoring three of the biggest touchdowns of the entire season.
Against North Reading, who have a knack for 7-6 game with a 10-yard TD run with just over four minutes remaining and, with Bryant hobbled by a pulled leg muscle, carried the ball 24 times. He averaged 4.6 high 483 yards. He followed that per-
"Jamie really worked hard this year to improve his quickness and his strength," said Lynnfield head coach Bill Adams of his 5-foot-8, 173-pound junior back that has been the hub of Coach Chris Bryant (509)
"He's got that natural cutting ability that you can't teach and he's very explosive. I would expect him to be one of the top backs in the league next year."
