Senior Phil Chery ran for one touchdown and kicked an extra point and senior Antonio Ortiz also scored a touchdown for the Mustangs. Medford’s defense did a great job holding off the Highlanders and kept them scoreless for two quarters.

Medford is 3-3 overall and is 1-0 in the GBL. Malden is currently 1-0 in the GBL and 3-4 overall with its victory over Cambridge (0-7) on Saturday, while Everett is 3-2 overall and opens up its GBL competition when it hosts Medford on Friday, October 30. Somerville is now 2-4 and 0-1 in the GBL.

The Mustangs will take on pigskin powerhouse Everett on Friday, October 30 under the lights in enemy territory, which is the former home turf of Coach Dello Iacono.
