HAVERHILL — After arriving to Haverhill Stadium only about 10 minutes before the scheduled game time, Cathedral High of Boston went through an abbreviated warm-up and received the opening kickoff.
it didn’t matter, though.
The Panthers and Georgetown played to a 6-6 tie in the first half before the visitors turned it on for a 31-6 win.
Both teams struggled to snap the ball on their opening possession. Cathedral went three-and-out after a snap over quarterback Jermal Brevard-Jackson’s head lost 19 yards. Georgetown gave the ball back on the very next play on a fumble during the transfer from center to quarterback. The Royals fumbled away each of their first two possessions.
After falling behind 6-0 early, new Royals head coach Justin Spurr got tricky in the second quarter. Running back Cooper Martens took a handoff to the outside and found a receiver all alone in the end zone. The 23-yard halfback pass to Robert Dimento made it 6-6, but the two-point conversion failed after a penalty pushed the Royals back five yards.
The Georgetown defense stayed strong in the first half after surrendering a touchdown on Cathedral’s second drive.
“We played really well on defense for most of the game,” Spurr said. “Defense was definitely a strong point for us.”
But Georgetown could not sustain its strong defense in the last 22 minutes. After Justice Turner took the Royals’ third fumble for six points to make it 12-6 early in the second half, Brevard-Jackson took control.
The senior captain connected on a pair of touchdown passes and ran for a third.
Georgetown did show some life on offense down the stretch, but could not get in the end zone. Martens, who shared the quarterback duty with sophomore Jimmy Sherman, completed the Royals’ longest play of the day, a 40-yard pass to Nick DePasquale, who had a stellar all-around game.
Georgetown is at Greater Lawrence Tech on Saturday at 1 p.m.
