DARTMOUTH Bishop Stang finally won one away from Hugh Carney Stadium on Thursday, led by senior quarterback Jason Campbell's arm and legs and two Nathan Zexter field goals.
The Spartans beat Mashpee 26-12 in a nonleague game at Mashpee Middle-High School, with Campbell running for a 4-yard touchdown and throwing a 17-yard touchdown pass and Zexter kicking a pair of 25-yard field goals, The Boston Globe reported, in a brief that did not list the rest of the scoring. Stang (4-6) had lost all three of its road games before Thursday, and the win gives the Spartans two straight going into their last game, after a 42-8 home win over Greater New Bedford Voc-Tech on Nov. 5.
Mashpee (5-5) was playing for the first time since a 22-14 loss at No. 4 Northbridge in the Division 7 first round on Nov. 6. Kickoff moved Thursday morning from 6:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Stang's Arbiter Live schedule and both teams' MaxPreps pages.
Campbell, the backup who took over
Campbell, who wears No. 2, came into the fall as the replacement for three-year starter Brock Winslow, the Globe said in its preseason preview, and the same preview named seniors Zexter, Richard Riccio and Amir Cartagena as the backs who would carry the ball in coach Dennis Golden's Power I.
By the Globe's weekly leader lists, Zexter, No. 15, ran for 270 yards and three touchdowns at Bishop Fenwick on Sept. 25, 256 yards and four scores against Arlington Catholic on Oct. 2 and 125 yards and three touchdowns against Cathedral on Oct. 9, when he also kicked a 19-yard field goal. Against Greater New Bedford a week ago he ran for three more touchdowns, one of them from 53 yards, and kicked four extra points, the Globe reported.
A Mashpee team built on size
Mashpee coach Matt Triveri, in his 22nd season, came into the fall with a 175-59 career record, the Globe reported, and a line that goes from senior CJ Jennings at 6-foot-1 and 330 pounds to junior Cannon Miskiv at 6-foot-3 and 275, according to the Falcons' MaxPreps roster. Junior Anthony Foss took over at quarterback this fall, with seniors Aarian Brown and Jacoby Spinola as his receivers, according to the same Globe preview. The Falcons opened 5-2, then lost to Cohasset, at Northbridge in the tournament and to Stang.
