Cathedral vs. Nashoba Valley Tech: A Crucial Playoff Clash
The 2024 MIAA Football State Championship – Division 8 tournament is heating up, and tonight’s game is one to watch. The Nashoba Valley Tech (Westford, MA) varsity football team will face Cathedral (Boston, MA) in a highly anticipated playoff matchup.

Cathedral’s Road to the Playoffs
Cathedral enters the postseason with a 5-4 overall record. Despite a tough season in league play, where they finished 0-3, the team managed to hold their own with a 2-2 record on the road and 1-0 in neutral-site games. The team’s offense has been potent, averaging 24.4 points per game, but they’ll need to find more consistency if they hope to advance in the playoffs. The offense’s strength has been their second-quarter scoring, where they average 12 points. However, their slow starts and fourth-quarter struggles could be their biggest hurdle in this playoff game.
Nashoba Valley Tech’s Unstoppable Record
Nashoba Valley Tech, on the other hand, has been nearly unbeatable this season. With a perfect 9-0 record, they are the top team in their league and have dominated their opponents with a staggering average of 42.2 points per game. The team’s offense is a well-oiled machine, with the highest scoring coming in the second quarter (16.6 points) and first quarter (10.6 points), giving them an early lead that they rarely relinquish. Their defense has also been exceptional, allowing just 70 points across all games this season.
Nashoba Valley Tech’s undefeated record, combined with their high-scoring offense and stingy defense, makes them the team to beat in this matchup. They have shown they can perform under pressure, with perfect records both at home and away.
What to Expect
Fans can expect an exciting and intense playoff game. Cathedral will need to find a way to break through Nashoba Valley Tech’s defense, which has only allowed 70 points all season. Cathedral’s offense will likely lean on their ability to score in the second quarter, but with the competition in the postseason, they’ll need to make adjustments across all four quarters to keep up with the high-powered Nashoba Valley Tech offense.
For Nashoba Valley Tech, the key to victory will be their ability to continue their dominant scoring trend and keep Cathedral from finding any rhythm on offense. If their defense can continue to stifle opposing teams, Nashoba should be poised for another victory.
