Tor Maas sets two passing records in Marshfield’s 47-14 rout of Hingham
MARSHFIELD — Marshfield could not have drawn up its homecoming any better.
Tor Maas threw for five touchdowns, a Marshfield single-game record, as the Rams jumped out to a 19-point first quarter lead en route to a 47-14 win over Patriot League Keenan foe Hingham on Saturday afternoon at James G. Anderson field.
It was a banner day for Maas, who moved atop the all-time touchdown passes leaderboard in Marshfield program history.
“Tor is a tireless worker and a special leader,” said Marshfield coach Chris Arouca. “The fact he broke the record and didn’t say anything about it speaks volumes about him as a leader.”
Maas’ performance came in front of an energetic Rams crowd on hand to enjoy the homecoming festivities.

Throughout the afternoon Maas got his teammates involved. He connected with Jake Brilliant for a pair of touchdowns while also feeding Jake D’Antonio, Davin True, and Luke Richardson for scores. Charlie Leach was the star defensively.
The junior linebacker had a scoop-and-score for six yards, forced an interception by hitting Hingham quarterback Jake Var Holak as he threw, and came up with two more tackles for a loss.
From the opening snap the day belonged to the Rams. Maas started the game off by hitting D’Antonio in stride for a 70-yard touchdown to put the hosts on top 6-0 within the blink of an eye. After a quick Hingham three-and-out, the Rams offense showcased their firepower once more. This time, Maas connected with Davin True on a swing pass. True did rest, going 31 yards to the house for a 12-0 lead.

Marshfield’s defense then showed its playmaking ability with Leech recovering a Harbormen fumble and taking it into the end zone. Hingham got on the board late in the first quarter on a one-yard touchdown run by Ryan St. Lacroix, but a Brilliant 40-yard touchdown reception on a perfect strike from Maas put Marshfield on top 25-7.
The record-breaking score game late in the first half when Richardson corralled a throw over the middle from Maas and went the distance 52 yards to give the Rams a commanding 40-7 advantage.
Marshfield’s defense forced three turnovers in all – two interceptions and a fumble.
