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.
