ANDOVER — Steven LaFortune saw the play developing in front of him.

"It was a cover-1 so I had the first man out of the backfield," he said. "He was quicker than me, bit I made a good read, got my hands in the air and knocked the ball down.

With 2:52 left in regulation, Tewksbury QB Sean Connolly tossed a pass into the end zone towards an open reciever. But LaFortune raced back, leaped into the air and knocked down the pass to clinch the Golden Warriors' 12-7 victory over Tewksbury. 

"I saw the whole line shift," said LaFortune. "I knew the back would be coming back around, and they weren't sending him there for no reason. It was a designed play. It was like everything just slowed down. Then I was just on top of the world for a few seconds."

This marked the first Merrimack Valley Conference win for the Golden Warriors, and snapped a three-game losing streak.
