Quabbin 28, Quaboag 20: Freshman quarterback Ryan Malkowski threw two touchdown passes to Thomas Gates and scored on a 2-yard run in double overtime to help the host Panthers (1-0) take down the Cougars (0-1) in Barre.

Quabbin led, 14-0, at halftime, with senior running back Chase Lohr scoring on a 40-yard run in the first quarter and Gates hauling in a 55-yard TD pass from Malkowski in the second quarter.

Quaboag answered with an 18-yard touchdown run by Erik McCormick in the third quarter, then forced overtime when Nate Rucchi broke loose for a 63-yard touchdown run with a minute left in the fourth quarter, then pounded in the conversion run.

Valley Tech 14, Ashland 13: Senior Ben Reiffarth rushed for 189 yards on 18 carries and a pair of touchdowns, including an 80-yard third-quarter run, and Kevin Barthelmes' PAT to lift the host Beavers over the Clockers in the opener for both teams.

Ashland QB Mitch Porter ran for a touchdown and threw for another, a 10-yard pass to Justin Byrnes late in the fourth quarter, but Devin Kempster blocked the PAT to preserve the lead -- and the win -- for the Beavers. Kempster also had a late interception, while Jake Tancrede and Barthelmes each had nine tackles.
