An injury riddled Nashua roster controlled the pace and led throughout the Jr. Wildcats went ahead to stay on a fourth down strike late in the fourth quarter for the winning score.

Jordan Toribio again shined on both sides of the ball scoring three touchdowns, two on the ground and one tremendous diving catch from a beautifully thrown ball from QB Dharyus Sisay. Sisay has proved to be potent with his passing attack and added a TD with a strong QB sneak against a large Jr. Wildcat front.

Connor Page, Tate Metallic, and Josiah Spleen added some strong offensive contributions behind a game offensive line led by Nick Acevedo, Sebastian Simoneau, Vincent Valenta, Shawn Burrus, Kelvin Sanchez, Trevor Poulin, Jayden MacInnis and Levi Mitchell.

Tyson Hoang continued making herculean plays from his cornerback position, Kayden Geddes played with his usual energy, assisting in many defensive stops. Burrus added a key fumble recovery to the Force effort.

Hoang added a beautifully placed on-sides kick in the second half that was recovered by a hustling and aware Spleen.

Logan Wheeler, Ashton Carrion for several injured PAL teammates, pushing the older Jr. Wildcat squad to within a single play of being upset.
