SCITUATE – In December, the Scituate High football team reached the mountaintop of high school football.
The Sailors defeated Duxbury, 29-13, at Gillette Stadium in the MIAA Division 4 Super Bowl to finish a perfect 13-0. On Friday, Scituate received state-championship rings to commemorate the triumph.
It was the program's third state title since 2018. Scituate defeated Duxbury in the 2021 Super Bowl and fell to the Dragons in the 2023 final.
"We're excited. We're psyched for these guys," said Scituate coach Herb Devine after the win in December. "It's an unbelievable feeling to go undefeated and beat Duxbury. We told the kids after last year, 'Who's going to write the final chapter?' Thank God it was us."
In state-title triumph, Scituate raced out to a 29-0 lead. Junior quarterback Jonny Donovan threw four first-half touchdown passes.
Scituate was the only South Shore team to win a state title in the fall. Randolph fell to West Boylston, 22-16, in the Div. 8 final.
"You can't write the story any better than this," agreed senior running back Willy Robinson after the win.
