The Blue Devils (6-4) buried host Milford, 40-14, Friday night behind
a relentless defensive effort and some big plays on offense.

While Leominster's defense controlled the contest, Michael Pedreira
and the offensive line provided plenty of scoring punch.

Pedreira found the end zone three times on short-yardage runs. It was
the third time in as many games he scored at least one touchdown.

The Blue Devils got it done from long distance as well, as quarterback
Pat O'Connor found paydirt on a sweep from 70 yards away and Malik
Daniel added a 65-yard touchdown jaunt. D.J. Fuentes capped off the
rout with a 65-yard touchdown run.

The Blue Devils controlled all facets of the game, including special
teams, where kicker Alex Heroux was 4-for-5 on extra point attempts.

Leominster entered the contest with plenty of momentum after last
weekend's upset over powerhouse St. John's. That win snapped a
three-game losing streak and kept the Blue Devils' playoff hopes
alive.
