With Somerville (2-1) storming back with a 51-yard touchdown run from Ryan Louis, the Golden Tornadoes (1-1) made a key stop on the ensuing 2-point conversion.

Sophomore Josh Blye anchored the Malden defense, batting down five passes and making 10 tackles. Right alongside him was senior Waslin Etienne, who made four tackles for loss.

Bouncing back from a tough loss last week, Exilhomme praised his defense for limiting a high-scoring Somerville offense.

"To come out there and be such a great team and play so solid on defense, it's like waking up from a bad dream," he said.

Exilhomme believes his team is ready for any challenge.

"To come back and beat one of the best teams in the conference, the sky's the limit for this team," he said. "We're not afraid of anyone in this conference and we're ready to go after anyone."

Medford 20, Lynn Classical 0 -- Guilherme Martin trigged a 20-point fourth quarter with a 34-yard touchdown run just 12 seconds in, then scored from 8 yards out less than two minutes later as the host Mustangs (1-1) legged out the Greater Boston League win. Medford added its final TD with 2:08 left, when Travers Moodie connected with Ronald David on an 8-yard toss.

Randolph 55, Commerce 14 -- Abe Cornet connected with Mekhi White for two passing touchdowns in a dominant nonleague road win, keeping the Blue Devils (3-0) undefeated. "We have an incredibly talented group that's working to win," said Randolph coach Jonathan Marshall. Alin Norisca aided the offense with a 43-yard rushing touchdown and Rayshaud Robinson ran for 196 yards in the first three quarters. Citing a blocked punt by Kavany Noel and powerful kicks from Victor Touissant, coach Marshall credited his special teams as an underrated part of the Blue Devils' success. "Our field position is very advantageous, our opponents start at the 20," he said.
