The Narragansett High School football team finished out an undefeated regular season in style last week with a 42-0 victory over Scituate, securing the programâs first unbeaten campaign since 2003.Â
That was also the last time the Mariners won a championship, and the quest for another begins on Friday night. The Mariners are the No. 2 seed in the Division IV playoffs and will host Toll Gate on Friday at 6:30 p.m. in the semifinals. The winner advances to the D-IV Super Bowl.
The Mariners hope the playoff matchup brings more of the same, both in terms of the season as a whole and the semifinal opponent. They went 5-0 in the regular season with an average margin of victory of nearly 30 points per game. Their one close game was a 21-14 win over Exeter-West Greenwich/Prout. In their other games, they beat Hope 51-0, North Providence 39-6, Toll Gate 28-6 and Scituate 42-0. Ponaganset, the top seed in the bracket who is also unbeaten, was not on the Marinersâ regular season
