NORTH ATTLEBORO, MA — North Attleboro made a statement over the weekend, dominating Plymouth South with a powerful ground attack and a relentless defensive effort to take an early 21-0 lead and seize control of its playoff matchup.
Running back Nick O’Brien led the charge with a standout postseason debut, scoring multiple touchdowns, including an impressive 30-yard run and an electrifying 80-yard touchdown after recovering a fumble. O’Brien’s big-play ability helped fuel the Rocketeers’ offensive surge.
Nathaniel Robin also made a significant contribution after returning from injury, providing an offensive spark with both his passing and running ability. Joseph Ruggiero added to the scoring effort with two touchdowns as North Attleboro continued to put pressure on Plymouth South.

The combination of a dominant running game, timely playmaking and a stifling defensive performance allowed North Attleboro to build a commanding 35-0 advantage.
The Rocketeers’ all-around effort delivered an emphatic playoff performance, highlighted by O’Brien’s breakout postseason showing and a defense that controlled the game from the opening whistle.
