              Frank McDonald rushed for 152 yards and
              scored four touchdowns as the visiting Red
              Raiders remained undefeated with a lopsided
              victory over the winless Mountaineers last night
              in Holden.
                       McDonald scored on runs of 6 (twice),
              10 and 14 yards. His first two TDs, sandwiched
              around a 35-yard scoring scamper by Norman
              Cole, helped 8-0 Fitchburg -- the unanimous
              No. 1 team in the Telegram & Gazette Top 10
              -- open up a 24-0 first-quarter lead.
                       Cole had a big night, too, gaining 120
              yards on nine carries and scoring twice. His
              other TD run was an 8-yarder. Red Raiders
              quarterback Jason Twomley gained 49 yards on
              six carries and tossed a pair of two-point
              conversion passes.
                       Kevin Massey and Nate Miley scored for
              the 0-8 Mountaineers. Massey's was a 4-yard
              run, Miley's a 1-yarder.
                       Fitchburg's first-team defense, while it
              played, allowed Wachusett 70 total yards and
              two first downs.
