DERRY – Football is different in November and no one knows that better than Brian O’Reilly.
The longtime Pinkerton Academy coach stressed that to his team leading up to Friday’s Division I quarterfinal against Bishop Guertin, and when the Astros needed to make the extra effort to come up with a big play, they did.
No. 4 Pinkerton scored twice in the first half and let the defense do the rest, as the Astros came up with a stand inside its own 5-yard line and stopped a two-point conversion to hang on for a 14-12 win over No. 5 Bishop Guertin. Pinkerton moves on to the semifinals for the first time since 2018, where it will face the winner of Saturday’s quarterfinal between No. 1 Londonderry and No. 8 Merrimack.
