Middletown takes advantage of two turnovers by East Greenwich in the second half to take the Division III Super Bowl 33-21.
EAST GREENWICH – Middletown capitalized on a pair of East Greenwich turnovers early in the second half to score 14 points and salt away a Division III Super Bowl victory, 33-21. The Islanders had a 19-7 lead with 1:28 left in the first half, but EG’s Andrew Miner ran a picture perfect two-minute, no huddle offense to score in about 60 seconds. The Avengers went into the break trailing 19-14 as a result. However, Middletown held the Avengers to a three-and-out on their initial possession of the second half. East Greenwich limited Middletown to six plays on their drive, but Alex Cleary couldn’t handle a punt, and the Islanders took over on EG’s 33-yard line. Shemar Vincent recovered for Middletown. It took Middletown seven plays, but …

The OLM fourth grader is a big Patriots fan.
Joey Allen predicts the Patriots will beat the Giants 24-14 in Sunday's Super Bowl. And he'll be right there to see if he's right. His family has season tickets to the Patriots, which gave them the option to buy two tickets to the big game. "That's a no-brainer," said Joey's dad, Larry Allen. "It's just so big." Larry has been to previous Super Bowls, but this will be Joey's first. "I'm excited," he said, wearing a big smile. The fourth grader attends Our Lady of Mercy School and lives in Cowesett. Joey was particularly happy that his favorite player, Ron Gronkowski, may be able to play in the game, after being sidelined recently with an ankle injury. He likes Tom Brady too. And he's optimistic that the Pats defense is going to do the job…
East Greenwich will eat a lot of food on game day.
John Eddy, the manager of Dave's Marketplace at 1000 Division, says this weekend will be controlled chaos as customers load up for the big game. The shelves are packed, extra staff will be on duty and the trucks of key suppliers will roll in with stock to replenish the shelves on both Saturday and Sunday. "We'll stay ahead of the wave until it crashes," Eddy says. Saturday will be the big day, but Eddy expects to be busy right up to game time on Sunday as customers fill their carts with chips, salsa, soda, chicken wings, bread, and rolls. He says the demand will be for anything party related. The Super Bowl weekend is always big, but having the Patriots play is making it even bigger. Eddy expects traffic to be double that of a normal …
