Nashua U11 14

Nashua suffered a heartbreaking loss on a Hail Mary pass with 20 seconds left after taking a 14-12 lead with a minute to play.

The Capitols scored early in their first drive of the game but came up short on the point after.

Nashua QB Patrick Keegan led a scoring drive to answer with hard-fought runs by Charlie Bellavance, Toby Brown and Amaury Almonte. Offensive blocking by Bryson Borromeo, Reid Lavoie, Aiden Carrion, Zach Connerty and Brady Sullivan paved the way for Charlie Bellavance’s TD run and the PAT gave Nashua a 7-6 lead.

Defensive efforts by Devin McNeil, Mirolqui Taverez, Demetriz Sanchez, Dario McAnespie and Xavier Jalbert were key to stopping Concord on many fourth-down plays.

However, the Capitols scored again to take a 12-7 lead, but but their extra point was taken away by a crushing tackle from Derek Finlay.

Nashua trailed 12-7 going into the fourth quarter but a Finlay interception gave the PAL squad the ball for a final drive.

Good efforts by Ryan Flynn, Adam Noone, Lola Cambray, Reagan Brunet, Mekhi Gerrin and Xavier Francis helped spark the drive that ended with Patrick Keegan’s TD run with a minute left and what ended up being a short-lived 14-12 lead.
