FOXBORO – Scituate football head coach Herb Devine exclaimed “unbelievable” five different times in less than two minutes to describe the Div. 4 Super Bowl at Gillette Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Perhaps even five wasn’t enough.

In an all-time finish that saw four fourth-quarter lead changes, including two in the final two minutes, the top-seeded Sailors (10-2) gutted out a historic shootout against No. 2 Tewksbury with a 42-41 win to repeat as state champions.

Miller Shea’s game-winning, 15-yard touchdown grab with 16 seconds left was the last of four touchdowns senior quarterback Jonny Donovan (336 passing yards, two interceptions) tossed on the day, capping off a comeback from down two touchdowns at halftime, and down 41-36 with 1:42 left to play.

The Redmen (12-1) put up an iconic fight, totaling 478 yards and the most points any team has posted in a Super Bowl loss in state history.

But Grayson Foley’s 205 yards from scrimmage with two touchdowns paired with a clutch showing in crunch time to help Scituate produce just enough for a repeat title.

“It’s just the best feeling in the world,” Donovan said. “There’s no other way I’d want to end my high school career than throwing it to one of my best friends, Miller Shea, in the end zone for a touchdown. It’s like a story ending. You really can’t write it any better than that.”

“We’re proud of the kids,” Devine added. “What a win. They score, we come back. Unbelievable game. … They kept their composure. They just knew the plays that we were going to call are something we do all the time. … That was an unbelievable win for us.”

Donovan brushed off the two times Tewksbury star senior Jonny Sullivan intercepted him in the first half to help lead 14 unanswered points in the third quarter that tied the game at 28-28 heading into the fourth. Foley scored both touchdowns in the frame and Cameron Cerussi had a key interception.

The back-and-forth from there proved iconic.

Sullivan (6 receptions, 92 yards) pulled down a 20-yard touchdown pass from Will Harrison (12-for-20, 209 passing yards, 58 rushing yards, 2 total touchdowns) for Tewksbury, regaining a 35-28 lead with 9:53 to go.

Donovan linked with Cerussi (6 receptions, 81 yards) for an 18-yard gain on fourth down on Scituate’s ensuing possession, which ended with a 19-yard touchdown pass to Cerussi with 5:55 left. Foley ran in a two-point run for a 36-35 lead.

Tewksbury ate clock using an effective running attack mostly through Emeka Olu (107 rushing yards, 38 receiving yards, touchdown). A 17-yard touchdown run from Ben Christopher (86 total yards, 2 touchdowns) put it back up 41-36, after a failed two-point pass, with 1:42 left.

Scituate started its last drive at the 35, and a 30-yard heave to Tyler Stelljess (3 receptions, 51 yards) flipped the field before he drew a pass interference in the end zone. Donovan needed just two more plays to find Shea (62 yards, two touchdowns) for the winner.

“My heart’s still pounding from it,” Shea said. “Definitely a lot of adrenaline. Great ball by (Donovan), put it right where I needed it to be. I made the play, thankfully. I’m super glad, super thankful.”

“We’ve had these two-minute drills all year long,” Donovan added. “We’ve had multiple times we’ve had to score with under two minutes left. … It was pretty fun just to do it one last time at Gillette.”

Tewksbury’s defense stymied the Sailors in the second quarter while scoring three touchdowns to grab a 28-14 halftime lead. Nicky Desisto (71 rushing yards, touchdown), Olu and Harrison all ran in touchdowns while Olu and Sullivan starred on defense.

“I said to our kids at half, ‘Look, you don’t win a game in 24 minutes, you’ve got to win it in 48,’ ” Devine said. “Our kids made plays, we kind of adjusted a little bit in the second half.”
