Melrose Stuffs Woburn in Division Title Game

The Tanners couldn't keep up with the Red Raiders on Friday night, falling 31-7.

Melrose withstood an early Woburn push and pulled away in the ensuing minutes to defeat the Tanners in the Division 3 Northwest championship game.

Woburn pushed the ball inside the Melrose 10-yard line on the opening drive of the game, but the Red Raiders held and kept the game scoreless. Melrose then scored the gameโ€™s next 28 points and went on to a 31-7 win.

Senior Rob Voci scored the only Tanner points of the contest with a one-yard quarterback keeper to slice the score to 28-7, but it was too little, too late for Woburn.
