"We can find it."But I think this was one where I could look at it and say we played to our standard. I mean [eighth-seeded] Kipp is a very, very good team. They're a very well coached team. And I think that we just came out, trusted the process, worked really hard this week."These guys nailed the game plan, and they executed it to a T."The top-seeded Wildcats' reward is a Final Four game against No. 5 Lynn Vocational, a 30-24 winner over Cape Cod Voc on Friday night.On Saturday, Jaydee Reber ran for 128 yards and three touchdowns, and the Lee defense pitched a shutout until the final minute of a second half played entirely under running time.The Wildcats scored each time they touched the ball in the first half and only slowed down when Lee slow rolled its final possession in the fourth quarter, taking a couple of delay of game penalties as the clock ran down and giving Kipp the ball after a failed fourth down conversion.The game started with a stop.Bryce HOff hauled down a Kipp carrier for a 4-yard loss on fourth down, his second tackle for a loss in Kipp's first four plays to give Lee possession at the plus-39 two minutes into the game."It started, probably, with the physicality," Salinetti said of the win. "And it ends with just going and executing and seeing when things open up for us and taking advantage of them."I think [the physicality] stems from those guys having such great fundamentals. Bryce early on reading exceptionally well -- just doing a really excellent job."Lee needed six plays to get in the end zone on a 20-yard pass from David Kirchner to Thomas Lucy, and Reber ran in the two-point conversion to make it 8-0.The Wildcats then forced Kipp to punt four plays into its next possession, and a bad snap gave Lee possession at the Kipp 9. Two plays later, Seamus Cooney was in the end zone, and he ran in the conversion to make it 16-0.The visitors then executed their best drive of the night, marching from their 35 to the Lee 8. But on fourth-and-goal from there, Mason Lucy's tackle for a loss got the ball back for the Wildcats with 2 minutes, 37 seconds left in the quarter.Reber scored on a 70-yard run off tackle on the second play of the second quarter -- the first of four second-quarter TDs.Reber scored from the 1 on the next possession. Kodie Mendoza's fourth-down tackle for a loss gave Lee a short field for its next possession, and Kirchner hit Mason Lucy for a 35-yard score that made it 40-0 with the conversion.Bryce Hoff capped the scoring with a 2-yard run, and Reber's two-point run made it 48-0.Lee's final touchdown came on its first possession of the second half, when Reber ran 14 yards to cap a 48-yard drive.In addition to winning in the state quarter-finals on its home field for the second straight year, Lee's senior class walked off John J. Consolati Field with a 20-0 record in four years at home."Foremost, this is a special place," Salinetti said. "In not many places do you get to grow up playing on [the varsity field], from the youth level right on up."They've been able to do that. And for these guys to be able to go out on this field with a clean record, 20-0, that's pretty fantasitic. It's pretty special."Photos from this game to come.</div></body>
