Army football commit leads Barnstable football past Milford in Elite 8

MILFORD -- Anthony Parrella had his fingerprints all over the Barnstable High football team's 35-14 upset over No. 2 Milford in the Division 3 Elite Eight on Thursday, Nov. 12. Parrella returned an interception 95 yards for a score and added a pair of rushing touchdowns, one a 51-yard burst, for the No. 7 Red Hawks (7-3). Barnstable advances to the Final Four and will play the winner of Friday's game between No. 3 Marshfield and No. 6 North Attleboro. After trailing 14-7 at halftime, Barnstable scored 28 unanswered points in the second half. Milford got on the board first, with a 3-yard touchdown run by Wanderson Dos Santos and a successful PAT from Tyler Stewart. Barnstable's Perrella ran one in for a touchdown to tie it up, but Milford led again going into the second half. Just before halftime, Milford connected on what seemed at the time to be a momentum-swinging play. Vincent Loscerbo completed a pass to Jaxson Finnimore. As Barnstable rallied to tackle Finnimore, he lateraled to Eli Rosenberg who darted down the sideline for a 52-yard TD with 18 seconds left in the half to push Milford's lead to 14-7. Enter Parrella.
