Foxborough came back from a 14-10 deficit late in the fourth quarter to edge Attleboro Friday in a non-league game.
Leading 14-10 late in the fourth quarter on the road, Attleboro was unable to hang on and fell to Foxborough 17-14. The loss was the second straight for the Bombardiers after winning the first four games of the season. Foxborough (4-2, 0-1) outplayed Attleboro (4-2, 0-1) for the majority of the first half, but only had a 3-0 lead at halftime to show for it. Attleboro's defense held Foxborough to just one field goal—a 26-yarder from kicker Kyle Will towards the end of the first quarter—in three red zone attempts in the first half. After two failed fourth-down attempts inside Attleboro's 20-yard line, Foxborough drove 71 yards at the end of the second quarter on the legs of running backs Kiivone Howard and Luc Valenza to get down to the …

With first-year principal Bill Runey watching on the sideline, the Attleboro High School football team beat Runey's former school, intracity rival Bishop Feehan, Friday night at Tozier-Cassidy Field on the AHS campus in a competitive 19-7 game. It was the first game of the season for both teams as they played for the win and the right to possess the Attleboro Elks Trophy. All of the Bombardiers' points came off touchdowns by senior co-captain running back Malique Clark. "This was a big win for our kids, the staff and the school—Mr. Runey all the way down," head coach Kevin Deschene said. Attleboro got on the scoreboard early, with Clark running 62 yards into the end zone on the third play of the Bombardiers' first possession in the first …

KP running back Charles Ruffin scores six times in victory.
King Philip's Friday night game against Attleboro turned into the Charles Ruffin show as the senior scored six times en route to a 41-7 victory. KP was aggressive early, recovering a surprise onside kick to start the game. That led to a Ruffin 48-yard touchdown on the very next play, and KP would not look back. Ruffin would score twice more in the half. Attleboro would score in the third via a 30-plus yard pass to Malique Clark, but the game was out of hand by then. KP led at that point, 34-7.

Attleboro used its running game, primarily Clark (200+ yards) and Jolaoso (47 yards), to earn an 18-7 win over Stoughton Friday night at home, improving to 5-2 on the season.
Trailing 12-7 with two minutes left in the third quarter, the Stoughton High football team marched down the field and faced a 4th and 1 from the Attleboro 2-yard line. The Black Knights were looking to score, or at the very least move the chains, but the Blue Bombardier defense came up with the stop, as Alex Fernandes’ quarterback sneak came up two ball-lengths short of a first down. On the ensuing drive, Attleboro faced a 3rd and 11 from their own 1-yard line. Malique Clark broke a 46-yard run and the Blue Bombardiers proceeded to convert three more third downs on the drive, before Clark scored from 4-yards out to give Attleboro the 18-7 lead halfway through the fourth (They missed the two-point conversion attempt). The outcome of those …
