Lynnfield is in the small.The Pioneers, winners last week over Newburyport (21-13), got touchdown runs from quarterback Dan Sullivan and Kyle McGah to go along with an 85-yard kick return from Matt Kramich.Saugus dropped a 20-6 decision to Winthrop in which Marcus Atkins caught a 25-yard pass from Justin Winn. Both teams made their 2013 debuts last week.Tech at Gr. LowellAt Gr. Lowell in Tyngsborough, the Tigers and Gryphons switched this season, with Tech going from the Commonwealth Conference/Large and Greater Lowell going the other way.The Gryphons fell, 39-12, to Lowell Catholic last week while Tech fell, 44-15, to Northeast. Two different passing combos scored for Tech. Connor Robertson hit Justin Lewis with the first one, and Vin Jahvon caught one from Rafy Lora for the second.Amherst-Pelham at St. Mary?sAt Manning Field (7), last week, the Spartans put up 64 against Swampscott.
