LYNN – With or without starting quarterback, Lucas Harris, the Lynn English football team has every intention of seeing its season through to the very end, a mindset that was on full display in Friday evening?s 23-14 victory over Billerica at Manning Field.?We?re still without Lucas obviously and we have a lot of younger guys in the line up,” said Bulldogs coach Peter Holey of the less-than-ideal circumstances.?The kids really gutted it out tonight to beat a good football team.”With Harris (mononucleosis) unavailable for the second consecutive week, the hosts turned to Stevie Collins, who stepped under center once again and delivered with three touchdown runs including two in the final 11 minutes.?He?s probably the best athlete on this team, if not in the whole school, and we really counted on him again tonight,” said Holey. “Stevie is a tremendous competitor and he loves having the ball in his hands.”It would be Collins? feet that proved the difference however, as they carried him to the end zone from 23-yards out, giving English a 15-14 lead with 5:55 remaining.A 31-yard score from Collins 4:36 later proved the final nail in the visitors coffin.?I?m extremely proud of the kids efforts these last two weeks,” said Holey. “We?re a lot better than our record (3-6) says and I see us getting better each and every week.”After a turnover-filled opening half which saw the team?s exchange lost fumbles in addition to Collins throwing two interceptions (both to Gus Gobiel), the Indians broke the ice 2:54 into the third quarter on a goal-line dive from Drew Laundry.English had an immediate answer, needing just 1:07 for a three-play sequence finished off by a 20-yard keeper by Collins, who then added a conversion run.Laundry?s last second score, also from a yard out, provided Billerica (1-7) with a 14-8 lead heading into the final period.
