NEW BEDFORD New Bedford has won three straight and takes a 6-1 record to Dartmouth for a 7 p.m. kickoff Friday, Oct. 30, at Dartmouth Memorial Stadium. The Whalers won 20-14 at Brockton last Saturday, have scored 240 points and lost only once, 34-8 at Quincy on Oct. 3. Old Rochester is 6-1 too, has also won three straight, and plays at Somerset Berkley at 6:30 p.m. at Hanson Memorial Stadium.

Tonight is the last Friday of games before the MIAA's football cutoff on Saturday, Oct. 31. Brackets come out at 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, the association said in its fall tournament schedule. In the MIAA power rankings released Friday morning, which count scores entered through 4 a.m. Oct. 30, New Bedford is 13th in Division 1 and Old Rochester is seventh in Division 6. In every division, the top 16 teams with at least three wins and seven games played qualify.

Fairhaven and Apponequet, the South Coast's two unbeaten teams, both go for 8-0 at 6:30 p.m., Fairhaven at GNB Voc-Tech and Apponequet at Dighton-Rehoboth. The table below lists all 13 games involving South Coast teams tonight.

Where to watch or listen

New Bedford at Dartmouth is the one game with a free stream scheduled ahead of time. Dartmouth Community Media (DCTV) set up a YouTube live stream titled "Dartmouth High Football vs New Bedford - October 30, 2026," scheduled to start at 6:45 p.m.

Somerset Access Television posted a "Live feed Test from Hanson Memorial Stadium" on its YouTube channel at 12:48 p.m. Friday, so Old Rochester at Somerset Berkley may stream free there; no game stream was scheduled on the channel as of Friday afternoon. Somerset Berkley's home game and Fairhaven at GNB Voc-Tech are both listed on the NFHS Network, the MIAA's streaming partner, which charges a subscription.

We found no stream or radio broadcast listed for the other games as of Friday afternoon. Taunton High's athletics website links to a school YouTube channel for live streams, but no stream for the Franklin game was posted there. Tickets for Taunton's game are sold through GoFan, the school says.

New Bedford at Dartmouth

At Brockton, senior Lyric Ramos connected with Tru Gonsalves-Cosme on a 39-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, ran for a 1-yard score and made an interception, the Globe wrote in naming him one of its players of the week. The Whalers face Durfee at Fenway Park at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 25.

Dartmouth is 1-6, and two of its losses came by one point, 14-13 to Middleborough and 13-12 to Old Rochester. In the Old Rochester game, senior quarterback Aidan Gendron found classmate Chase Afonso for a 40-yard gain in the final seconds to reach Old Rochester's 30, the Globe reported.

Old Rochester at Somerset Berkley

Old Rochester's only loss was 35-14 to Foxborough on Oct. 2, and it has since beaten Bishop Fenwick 53-18 and GNB Voc-Tech 36-6. Junior Benji Baptiste ran for five touchdowns against Bishop Fenwick, the Globe's Week 6 leaders list shows. In the 13-12 win at Dartmouth on Sept. 24, he carried 33 times for 204 yards and both Old Rochester touchdowns, including the tying 5-yard run with 23 seconds left, and the Bulldogs won on the extra point, the Globe reported.

Somerset Berkley is 1-5 and 28th in Division 4 in Friday's rankings. Its win was 42-22 over GNB Voc-Tech on Oct. 2, and its last game was a 33-28 loss at Dighton-Rehoboth.

Fairhaven has scored 281 points, about 40 a game, and is sixth in Division 6. Junior quarterback Jackson Ponte completed 10 of 12 passes for 221 yards and five touchdowns in the 56-28 win at Seekonk on Oct. 23 and was a Globe player of the week. Junior Jackson Williams ran for 113 yards, caught passes for 55 and scored four times in that game, and Liam Pickup was on the Globe's Week 7 rushing leaders list with 116 yards.

Notes

Every kickoff time, field and South Coast record is from the schedules the schools post on Arbiter Live, read again Friday afternoon, Oct. 30; both schools list the same time and field where both are South Coast schools. Every ranking and opponent record is from the MIAA football power rankings released Friday morning, which count scores entered through 4 a.m. Oct. 30. The cutoff and bracket dates are from the MIAA's fall tournament schedule. Stream listings are from DCTV's and Somerset Access Television's own YouTube channels and the NFHS Network's event pages, read Friday; we checked the station sites and schools' athletics pages for the other games and found no stream or radio listing. The Taunton game-day changes are from Taunton Public Schools' Thursday notice. Player lines are from four Boston Globe pages, with names and class years as the Globe printed them. Points were counted from the posted results. Not heard: no comment was sought.
