Somerset Berkley football coach Nick Freitas has had some memorable moments during his illustrious 16-year career on the sidelines.

 

Friday night's Division 4 Round of 16 football playoff game against No. 4 Malden Catholic has to rank right up with all of them.

 

"Teams that go on the road in the first round are not suppose to win," said Frietas after the Raiders stunned the Lancers, 12-6. "I never thought of it as an upset. We did not have a lot of big plays on offense and we kind of grinded it out. It was good to get that W.

 

"It's something to be proud of along with the kids' work ethics. They buy in and they loved to be coached. We get after them and they respond. A lot of good feeling tonight."

 

The Raiders (7-2) advanced to the Round of 8 for the second consecutive season and will face No. 5 Tewksbury Memorial, who defeated Westwood 37-7.

 

Brendan McDonald scored both touchdowns on fourth-down plays for SBR, including the final one with 2:46 remaining in the contest to give the Raiders the lead for good.
