Last week, the Lynn English and KIPP Academy football teams secured their first wins, but they didn’t stop there. Momentum carried over to Friday night as English (2-2) defeated Revere, 43-19, and KIPP (2-3) took down Hull, 40-10.
Revere started strong and built an early 14-7 lead, but from there, the Bulldogs found their offensive rhythm at Manning Field.
English quarterback Shane Knowlton-Simard (141 yards rushing) stayed red-hot with a four-touchdown performance. Xavier Beauchamp compiled 110 yards rushing and two touchdowns.
As for the Panthers, coach Jim Rabbitt couldn’t have been happier before a long bus ride home.
“We played really well. It was great to have a complete game and put one together on the road,” he said. “They’re a well-coached team and it was a great effort overall across all three phases of the game.”
Leading KIPP was Aavian Peña, who carried 13 times for 148 yards and a touchdown. Elai Machado rushed for two scores and threw a touchdown pass. Joan Ortiz scored twice, including a 30-yarder on a reverse.
Katrell Fortes recorded three interceptions defensively.
“Guys were flying around on defense,” Rabbitt said. “They (Pirates) scored in the fourth quarter, but we pretty much kept them out of the end zone all day.”
