Warriors rout Vikings to complete first goal

CAMBRIDGE — Matt Griffith had no escape route. Easton High’s head football coach was penned in by his team Friday night as two of his fastest players, Ja’Zir Dickerson and JaDereon Thompson, quickly approached from behind and doused Griffith with a water cooler. What was Griffith expecting? After all, the Warriors had just put an exclamation point on an unbeaten regular season and their first Bayside Conference championship since 1986 with a 40-0 shutout of Cambridge-South Dorchester at Gorton McWilliams Stadium, sealing the No. 1 seed for the Class 2A/1A postseason. “Boys worked hard,” Griffith said. “They put in the work, they earned it. Like I just told them, ‘Bayside champs was first goal. Now, we have to move on to goal two, go win a region.” It’s the first time Easton (9-0) has gone unbeaten in at least 40 years, with the exception of the covid-shortened 2020 season — played in the spring of 2021 — when it went 5-0. The Warriors sealed a first-round bye in the 2A/1A East Region playoffs, and shut out the Vikings for only the second time since Cambridge-SD opened its doors in 1976. “Feels great,” said senior quarterback Brady Walls, who threw three
