See if the Watertown Football Team Kept its Unbeaten Season Going

The Raiders' unbeaten record came to an end during the team's trip to Melrose on Friday.

Watertown struck first with a 70-yard touchdown pass from Nick Giordano to TJ Hairston in the first quarter. Melrose got a touchdown to tie it at 7 in the first quarter, according to the Boston Globe report.

Watertown scored again in the second quarter on a fumble recovery, but Melrose went on a scoring run. Melrose tied it at 13 at half (both teams missed extra points). In the second half they scored three more touchdowns, including a 44-yard interception return. Melrose prevailed in the Middlesex League Freedom Division matchup 33-13.

Watertown remains in the hunt for the division title with a 2-1 Middlesex League record (4-1 overall). The Raiders are tied with Melrose and Wakefield, with Watertown beating Wakefield last week.
