Somersworth head coach Jeremy Lambert pointed to the guys on the offensive line, and said that the success of the running game starts with grit and tenacity. And more standout performances will be needed in Saturday's semifinal game against No. 3 Monadnock. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. in Somersworth.

"Those guys need to keep doing what they're doing there. They're going to move some bodies and they have the ability to do that." Seniors Collin Patterson and Brian Bjorkman have been at it for four years, and they are paired with a trio of sophomores in Diante Adams, Cole Garrett and Evan Utgard. Bjorkman, at 6-foot-1, 250 pounds, is at left tackle; Patterson, at 6-foot-2, 240, is at left guard; Garrett,
