A week after winning their closest game of the season, Souhegan scored on their first six drives and routed Hollis Brookline, 49-0.

The Sabers did the majority of their scoring in the first quarter, finding the end zone four times. Lead running back J.J. Bright put the Sabers on the board with a 54-yard touchdown run on his first carry of the game.

A mishandled punt gave the Sabers the ball at the HB 2 and running back Danny Sullivan took a pitch on the outside and walked into the endzone, extending the lead to 14-0 and the Sabers never looked back.

Urda tossed another TD pass to Chris Costifas (49 yards) in the fourth quarter for Milford, bringing Milford to within 21-14, but the Pythons dominated from there.
