The Pleasant Street rivalry enters its second year as Nipmuc brings its high-powered offense across the road to meet the Beavers. Senior Derek Fernandes has passed for more than 1,900 yards to lead the attack, finding junior Chris Reifarth and senior Erich Slagal for big gains. Reifarth and Slagal have racked up more than 1,000 yards receiving, while Matt Smith and Nick Muscente have rushed for more than 700 yards for the Warriors. James Swederman and Tyler Grace have combined for more than 100 tackles, and Matt Becker leads the team in sacks with six. Nipmuc is coming off losses to Bartlett and Auburn, and the Warriors hope to end the regular season on a high note. Meanwhile, the Beavers are clicking at the right time, coming in with a two-game winning streak, having beaten Keefe Tech and Monty Tech by a combined score of 66-12. Senior Jim Bianchi leads the ground game with 640 yards, while freshman quarterback Dan Avery has 516 yards passing - with senior Ryan Leshinski and Spencer Carlin his top targets. Bill Bachand is among the leaders in tackles with 73, while Nick Ingersoll has three picks. Beavers (4-6)
