Old Rochester eyes 'revenge' against Hudson in Div. 6 playoffs

The ‘Revenge Tour’ continues for the Old Rochester football team as the No. 7 Bulldogs (8-1) will take on second-seeded Hudson (9-0) in the MIAA Div. 6 state quarterfinals at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 12. The Hawks knocked Old Rochester out of the tournament last year with a 34-7 win. In 2025, Old Rochester lost its first four games before making a run to qualify for the playoffs and reach the Elite 8. This year, the Bulldogs went 7-1 during the regular season and have beaten three teams they lost to a year ago. Hudson could be the fourth. “Last year when we played them, they were better than us,” said Old Rochester head coach Bryce Guilbeault of the Hawks. “I told the kids that yesterday. They were better than us, but we’re a year older, a year more experienced and we’ve gotten better every week. We’re excited.” Junior Benji Baptiste has been impressive this fall for Old Rochester with more than 1,600 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns, which ranks second on the SouthCoast. The Hawks counter with senior quarterback Logan Dome and senior running back JT Torres. “Their quarterback is really good,” Guilbeault said. “He is their guy.”
