Lynn’s English football team got off to an ideal start Friday night, but a 42-12 defeat at Everett quickly went downhill.

“Obviously it’s a four-quarter game,” said England coach Chris Carroll. “We were halfway down 20-6 and the game was a lot more competitive than the score would suggest at the time. We had a chance to bring things a little closer in the first half, but we only missed a few of those games. “

DJ Brathwaite started the night with an interception and did most of the reception work for the Bulldogs. Jessie Maggs ran in a 1-yard touchdown to give the Bulldogs a 6-0 lead.

But Everett ripped off six touchdowns in a row. Angelo Person finished the English scoring with a 5-yard run in the fourth quarter.

“Everett is a team that makes it into the top three in the state every year,” said Carroll. “So you have to play when you get the chance and don’t get any penalties. There were snowballs with some sales in the third quarter. You are talented. “

English (0-1) will try to get back on their feet with two straight games at Manning Field, starting with Revere on Friday (6).

“I am proud of my children,” said Carroll. “They played hard and the first half was a competitive half. But they have worn us down and we have a lot to do. “

Angel Martinez had a monster day for the Crusaders with one touchdown and two quick touchdowns, as well as two interceptions. Tucker Destino also rushed to score a few points, and Chrys Wilson threw two touchdowns. Jake Connelly scored a touchdown in victory.

“Angel was seen (Friday), that’s for sure,” said Fenwick coach Dave Woods. “We really tried to distribute the ball to everyone on the offensive and on the defensive. It is a special group of children. “

Fenwick finished the season 6-0 and graduated from 17 seniors.

“At first it was difficult to have a lot of things out of our control, but when we got out of there the kids handled it like they always did,” Woods said. “They did it for each other. It’s a close group and there’s a lot of love. They did everything we could ask for. “
