The North Reading football team continued its hot start on Friday, beating Somerville 34-13 to improve to 3-0 on the season.
Matt McCarthy had a monster game, scoring four touchdowns for the Hornets. His first came on an 8-yard run in the first quarter to give North Reading the lead, and after Somerville tied the game at 6-6 in the second, McCarthy burst free for an 80-yard score.
Somerville tied the game again thanks to a 30-yard touchdown pass from Elijah Jeffreys to Shaquille Joseph, but North Reading took the lead for good shortly after when McCarthy scored on a 21-yard rush. He added a 33-yard touchdown in the fourth, and then Bob O'Donnell finished out the scoring with a 49-yard fumble return touchdown.
North Reading is hosts Masconomet Friday at 7 p.m.
