NEW BEDFORD New Bedford beat Weymouth 14-7 on Friday night at the New Bedford High School football field, beating the program that had shut the Whalers out 34-0 in each of the last two seasons, according to the final on the school's Arbiter Live schedule.

The win was New Bedford's eighth of the fall, a season after the Whalers went 0-10, and it sends them, at 8-2, to Fenway Park on Wednesday, Nov. 25. New Bedford held Weymouth, whose single wing had scored 31 or more points four times this season, to seven points, the fewest the Wildcats have scored in any game but their 35-6 loss at St. John's Prep in the Division 1 tournament on Nov. 5.

Weymouth fell to 5-5, and both teams came into the night off tournament losses, New Bedford 47-0 at Springfield Central on Nov. 6 and Weymouth at St. John's Prep a day earlier, and met in a Week 10 game the MIAA scheduled for teams out of the tournament.

How the Whalers got here

Coach Robert Lomp's Whalers have scored 306 points in 10 games and allowed 211, by the scores the MIAA posted and Friday's final. They run a double wing, and quarterback Tru Gonsalves-Cosme and running back Lyric Ramos moved over from Bishop Stang for their senior seasons, The Boston Globe's preseason preview reported. Gonsalves-Cosme ran 68 yards for a touchdown on a fake punt and 65 yards for another on the first snap of the second half in the 52-20 win at Dartmouth on Oct. 30, the Dartmouth Community Media broadcast of that game showed, and Ramos, No. 6, scored three times that night.

At Brockton on Oct. 24, Ramos caught the touchdown pass that started a fourth-quarter comeback, intercepted a pass to set up the winning drive and carried in the go-ahead score with about a minute and a half left in a 20-14 win, the Brockton Community Access broadcast showed. Senior captain Logan Desmarais plays fullback in that double wing and inside linebacker on defense, the Globe's preview reported, and he scored twice at Dartmouth. Senior Jordyn Correia, No. 2, a receiver and defensive back on the team's MaxPreps roster, made two long catches on the 85-yard drive that put New Bedford on the board at Brockton.

Weymouth's season

Weymouth, coached by Mike Donovan in his fourth season, has built its single wing around its line, The Boston Globe's preseason preview reported, with senior end Ty Monteiro-Cooper, No. 13, a 6-foot-4, 230-pound Stonehill commit, as its latest standout. The Wildcats beat Taunton 31-29 in the Sept. 11 opener and Braintree 41-7 on Oct. 9, and have scored 204 points and allowed 169 this season, by the MIAA's posted scores and Friday's final.
