Foxboro – The Grafton Indians earned their berth in the state Division 3 Super Bowl game at Gillette Stadium by virtue of their perfect 12-0 record through the regular season and playoff run.
However they finally met their match as they fell 21-0 to Hanover in the championship game.
After a scoreless first half, Hanover got on the board with a touchdown run by Brad Rogers in the third period. Rogers added two more touchdowns in the fourth period to put the game out of reach for Grafton.
Grafton senior Ifeatu Melifonwu, who has committed to play for Syracuse next year, rushed for 73 yards.
Despite the loss, Grafton put together an incredible season, ending with an experience the players and coaches will remember forever.
