Watertown junior quarterback Joey Farrar throws for 104 yards on six completions in a 39-0 loss.
Trailing 7-0 late in the first quarter, the Watertown High School football team generated a turnover when Raider senior Giovanni Ortiz recovered a bobbled Wakefield punt return. Watertown threatened to convert the turnover into game tying points, but the Raiders were intercepted by the Warriors at the goal line on the first play of the second quarter. The Warriors would capitalize on its turnover and score, then proceed to add four more touchdowns in a 39-0 win over the Raiders on Friday night at Arlington High School. “Watertown hung in there and played tough,” said Wakefield coach Mike Boyages of the Warriors. “This win qualifies us for the playoffs, which was our goal all year. We improved to 8-2 and are undefeated in the [Middlesex …

Visiting Watertown falls 47-14 to Wilmington.
Watertown, trailing by 13 points in the second half, had all of the momentum. For all of about one minute. The visiting Raiders recovered a Wilmington fumble and marched down the field for a one-yard Sean McCusker touchdown to pull within 27-14 with 4:45 left in the third quarter on Friday night. But Wilmington's John Parsons scooped the ensuing kickoff off the ground and scampered 80 yards to regain control of the contest for the Wildcats, who went on to a 47-14 win to close out their home schedule. With the loss, Watertown has now lost two straight Middlesex League games and dropped to 1-3 in league play, 6-3 overall. The team next plays first place Wakefield on Friday night. Wide receiver T.J. Hairston hauled in an impressive 30-yard …

The Raiders football team improved to 2-0 after beating the Rams in Woburn Saturday night.
Watertown’s combination of quarterback Joey Farrar and wide receiver Giovanni Ortiz hooked up often Saturday night against Shawsheen Tech, as the Raiders beat the Rams 25-14 at Connolly Field in Woburn. Up 7-0 in the first quarter, the Raiders started their second possession on their own 24-yard line after forcing the Rams to punt. In the first play of the drive, Farrar – a junior making his second start – connected with senior tri-captain Ortiz for a 76-yard touchdown. With a little more than four minutes remaining in the first quarter, Watertown pressured Shawsheen Tech quarterback junior Mike O’Hearn into throwing an interception, which was returned for a touchdown. A second straight missed extra point made it 19-0. It looked like …

The renovation of Victory Field will not be completed in time for the beginning of the Raiders' football season.
Watertown High School’s football schedule is out and the Raiders will host the first two games, however, with Victory Field being renovated, the games will be played at Woburn High School. The Watertown schedule went up on HighSchoolSports.net, and includes 11 regular season games including five home games, and a scrimmage in August. Athletic Director Michael Lahiff said this spring that the installation of the artificial turf at Victory Field would mean some of the Raiders games would be played outside of town. There is only one home game in October, on the 14th against Stoneham. Currently the location of that game is listed as “to be announced.” The final to home games – On Nov. 11 against Wakefield and the Thanksgiving game against …
