Northbridge exploded for a 32-6 win over BVT last Saturday, a victory that underlined the Rams’ offensive firepower and put them in a great position heading into a big meeting with Nipmuc. QB Joel LaChapelle completed 15 of 22 passes for 255 yards and two touchdowns while also adding a rushing score, pacing the Rams’ balanced attack.
Mo Rodney Daigle scored twice and tallied 33 yards on the ground, Matt Coughlin rushed for 81 yards and a score, and Antonio D’Alfonso hauled in a 29-yard touchdown. The Rams manufactured consistent drives and flipped field position with efficient offense and timely special teams play. Northbridge’s depth has been evident: multiple weapons have stepped up to sustain drives and finish in the red zone.
With the Rams ranked No. 5 in the D7 power rankings, the upcoming matchup against Nipmuc (4-2) will be a measuring stick for both squads. Northbridge will rely on LaChapelle’s arm and the supporting rushers to test Nipmuc’s defense, while the Rams’ balanced blueprint should keep them competitive in a matchup that could have postseason implications.
