Against all odds, Jack Shapiro rallies Latin Academy football past Boston Latin, and more from Saturday’s action

Shapiro ran for touchdowns of 1, 19, and 2 yards, threw a 7-yard TD pass, and returned an onside kick 47 yards for the Dragons’ final touchdown. It stretched their lead from 1 to 8 after the Dragons (2-2) came up with a stop on a 2-point conversion by the Wolfpack (2-1).

Punctuated by his kick return, Shapiro totaled 275 all-purpose yards from scrimmage (116 rushing, 112 passing, 47 returns) in an all-around effort.

“He’s like that every day,” said coach Rocco Zizza. “You want your best players to have the ball in their hands at key times, and that’s what happened.

“I’m surprised they kicked it to him.”

Boston Latin quarterback Augie Groh started the scoring in the first quarter with a 4-yard touchdown run. Then, after Eric Perryman pounced on a fumble recovery in Latin Academy’s end zone for a 14-6 lead, Groh connected with senior Lawrence Decossa on a 60-yard wheel route to extend the Wolfpack’s lead to 21-6.

Shapiro scrambled for a thrilling 19-yard touchdown run at the end of the first half, diving to connect with the pylon. Sa’id Cardoso ran it in on the 2-point conversion to pull Latin Academy within 21-14 at the end of the first period.

Shapiro found junior Adam Goldsmith McGarr for a 7-yard touchdown in the middle of the third, then ran for a 2-yard score at the start of the fourth, passing for 68 yards on the drive.

After Groh led the Wolfpack down the field and punched in a 2-yard score, the Dragons defense stopped senior Noah Dang on the 2-point try.

On the ensuing kickoff, Groh (who also kicks for Latin) drove the ball on a line straight to the hands of Shapiro. Though his initial thought was to go straight down, he saw 50 yards of empty turf in front of him and ran it in for the score.

“That’s something I’ve never done before, but [Zizza] just threw me out there,” Shapiro said. “You’re a football player, no matter what position you are.”

BB&N 35, Milton Academy 14 — Bo MacCormack isn’t going to shy away from contact. In fact, the Buckingham, Browne & Nichols senior tailback embraces the opportunity to run through defenders.

MacCormack, who is committed to attend Syracuse, showcased his physicality and breakaway speed on Saturday afternoon, rushing for 256 yards and four touchdowns on 30 carries to help the visiting Knights pull away for a victory over ISL-7 rival Milton Academy.

“When a coach says, ‘When your best player is your toughest guy’ or ‘If your best player is your hardest working guy,’ Bo is right there,” said BB&N coach Mike Willey. “He did a great job, and I thought our offensive line, tight end, fullbacks and wide receivers all blocked well today.”

Wellesley 35, Walpole 28 — The Raiders were ready for primetime.

Moments after sophomore quarterback Lukas Prock connected with junior Matthew Leibman for a 34-yard go-ahead touchdown pass, senior Jason Stephens recorded a crucial fourth-down tackle to force a turnover on downs and help Wellesley hold off Bay State Conference rival Walpole.

It was a thrilling finish to a historic night for the Raiders (3-1), who were playing the program’s first night game at home under the new lights at Hunnewell Field, which has been hosting Wellesley games since 1932.

“This is awesome,” said Stephens. “Everyone gets to enjoy it — this is a whole school experience and it’s awesome that single person gets to be involved.”
