The Nashua 12U Football Squad fell to a very deep and talented Salem Ram squad, playing from behind early after a pair of Ram touchdowns and a safety.

Jordan Toribio answered with a PAL scoring jaunt off tackle for 85 yard run off to cut the lead to 14-6.

After exchanging touchdowns, including an amazing 90-yard scamper by Connor Page on a botched punt, the Rams pulled ahead to stay.

Dharyus Sisay added a beautifully placed touchdown pass while rolling to his right, and Toribio hauled in the pass in the corner of the end zone despite having three Ram defenders draped all over him.

Toribio added another strong touchdown run later in the game, with a strong block by Shawn Burrus that opened the edge. Page added the kicked PAT.

Kelvin Sanchez, Nick Acevedo, Sebastian Simoneau, Levi Mitchell, Ashton Carrion, Josiah Spleen played hard and courageous on both sides of the ball, delivering strong efforts in the heat of Stellos Stadium.

Adamze Mansaray also played well for Nashua, while Trevor Poulin, Paul O’Brien, Diones Delacruz, Logan Wheeler, Kayden Geddes, Tyson Hoang and Tayten Metallic, Jayden McInnis put forth a strong effort while all playing a multitude of positions.
