For three quarters, Newton North’s offense could not solve Brookline’s defense. Then a solid drive resulting in a touchdown, a blocked punt and a catch along the end zone boundary provided the spark needed for the Tigers to claim a 14-13 victory at Fenway Park.

It was the 134th all-time meeting between the Tigers (6-4) and the Warriors (1-8). Newton North now holds the all-time series record 69-54-11, and head coach Nick Capodilupo said the comeback victory was a perfect description for how gritty his team was this season.

“I’m just really proud of these kids and this staff,” Capodilupo said. “A lot of teams would have folded when we went down like that, nothing was going right. But we just kept saying, ‘we have got to keep on doing our thing and it will turn around.’ This is what we have done all year long.”

Defense was the story of the opening quarter as neither team was able to push beyond midfield. Eventually, Brookline quarterback Brendan Bottiglieri connected with Will Cavalier on a 22-yard pass that set the Warriors up in the red zone. Two plays later, Bottiglieri found Cavalier 15-yards down field for the first touchdown. The two-point conversion failed and the Warriors led 6-0.

Newton North had its ensuing drive wrecked by penalties, and the Warriors charged down the field, eventually finding the end zone via a 20-yard pass from Bottiglieri to Nadav Grinstein with three seconds left in the half.

Trailing by two scores heading into halftime, Capodilupo said the Tigers were focused on executing the little things and that patience would pay off.

“We had to get a couple of ‘gotta have its,’ ” Capodilupo said. “We practice that stuff so that in the game we can go out and get it done. We didn’t do any crazy adjustments, just a little here or a little there.”

The third quarter was similar to the first, with both defense’s dominating. However, a 50-yard run from Tigers tailback Dylan Leone set the team up in the red zone when the quarter expired.

“I had to bring that spark to the team,” Leone said. “That’s my job as a leader and as a captain, I have to get my team going.”

Quarterback Freddy Torcasio scrambled and brought the Tigers into goal-to-go territory, and Leone got the Tigers on the board with a seven-yard rush.

“Electric,” Leone said. “As soon as I found out I was playing here, I had to get one. I’ve been dreaming about it for weeks.”

Brookline would quickly see its ensuing drive stall out and looked to punt it away. However, Tigers’ defensive back Jacob Goodwin rushed past the lineman and blocked the punt, setting up the offense at the Warriors’ 18-yard line.

“I just did my job,” Goodwin said. “Before the snap, I said to myself that ‘if he holds that ball for one split-second too long, I am getting to it.’ ”

On the first play of the new drive, Torcasio tossed a bullet into the corner of the end zone and Milo Schneider made the full-extension catch to even the score at 13. After a successful extra point, Newton North had a lead it wouldn’t relinquish.

“Definitely one of the best moments of my life,” Torcasio said. “I’m never going to forget that.”

An interception on the final drive sealed the victory for Newton North and secured a winning season for the program. While it was a dramatic finish, Goodwin said his team wouldn’t have it any other way.

“Nothing new,” Goodwin said. “All season we have been doing this, we know that we are going to come back. Sometimes it takes a minute for us to get our footing, but we are going to work hard to win that game at the end.”
