FOOTBALL

Narragansett 27, Whittier Tech 8

The visiting Warriors deployed a balanced offensive attack and shut down Whittier Tech after a sloppy first quarter to improve to 2-0.

Whittier got on the board first with a short run in the first quarter, but it could have been worse as Narragansett snapped the ball over the punter's head at one point and also threw an interception.

The Warriors responded in a big way in the second quarter when Steve Ciaramitaro hit Alex Travisano with a 73-yard touchdown pass. Marlon Webb added the 2-point conversion rush to tie the score, 8-8, which is how it stood at halftime.

Narragansett started rolling after intermission, running 30 offensive plays to 14 for Whittier Tech. Casey Goguen gave the Warriors the lead for good with a 31-yard touchdown run, and Ciaramitaro hooked up with Travisano for a 13-yard touchdown to make 20-8 after three quarters.

Jake Parker took it in on the ground from 28 yards out for the game's final score, followed by a Nate Batallas PAT.

The Warriors rushed for 185 yards on 33 carries, led by Goguen (113 yards, 16 carries). Parker rushed eight times for 51 yards. Ciaramitaro passed for 144 yards.
