The rain couldn't stop Juanita Sanchez. Neither did North Smithfield.

PROVIDENCE – The performance was three years in the making. Max Tuthill has been the starting quarterback for Juanita Sanchez since his sophomore season and has flashed his athleticism and throwing ability. In the biggest game of his career – at least to this point – the senior put it all together. As the rain came pouring down, Tuthill and the Cavaliers only played better. The offense put on a dazzling display in the first half and took away any doubt of the result by halftime before finishing off a 41-6 win over North Smithfield to advance to the semifinals of the Division IV playoffs. “This is our first playoff win since I’ve been here,” said Tuthill, who attends Providence Country Day, which plays with Juanita as a co-op. “It’s a huge momentum shift for me and my team so hopefully we’ll keep going.” Talent is something Juanita Sanchez has, but consistency is something its lacked this fall. The Cavaliers three wins came against two of the bottom feeders in D-IV, which forced them to beat Exeter-West Greenwich in the regular-season finale to make the playoffs. That means they walked into Conley Stadium on Friday, November 6, without a win

BMR football wins back-and-forth clash with Keefe Tech marred by fight

BLACKSTONE— The MIAA Division 8 Round of 16 football game between No. 6 Blackstone-Millville (7-2, 1-2 CMAC D) and No. 11 Keefe Tech (6-3, 3-0 CMAC F) on Saturday, Nov. 7 had all the makings of an instant classic: a hard-fought, back-and-forth battle between two evenly matched sides on a cool fall afternoon in the Blackstone Valley. Unfortunately, much like the field after a rain-soaked Friday , the ending muddied things up. Trailing 28-22 with just seconds on the clock, Broncos' sophomore quarterback Kelton Fertel tossed a Hail Mary deep downfield for junior wide receiver Hunter Duran, only for it to be picked off by his counterpart, Chargers senior quarterback/defensive back Karson Cournoyer, near midfield to seal the deal and book BMR's place in the Elite Eight. Then, near the Keefe Tech sideline, emotions boiled over as a fight broke out between the two teams, resulting in the ejection of a few Broncos players as well as Chargers senior wide receiver/defensive back/kicker Nathan Oliveira. The referees, consulting with the Blackstone Police, called the game with 0:04 seconds left and made both teams and fans exit the stadium separately, starting with the visitors. Oliveira, who hauled in a momentum-shifting 90-yard touchdown
