James McKenzie has been Diman Regional Vocational Technical football team's most consistent player all season.

On Thursday in the Vocational Large semifinal playoff game against Greater Lawrence Techn, the Bengals star proved his worth once again.

"James was the best player on the field hands down," said Diman coach Luke Bahry after the Bengals advanced to the championship game with a 21-20 victory over the Reggies. "He was undeniable out there tonight. He has been unbelievable for three years."

With the victory, Diman (8-3) will play in its first-ever Vocational League championship game in school history. They will face the winner of either Whittier RVT or Essex Tech on Dec. 3.
