Milford High football just dropped a truth bomb on Framingham, absolutely crushing them 49-7 Thursday night. Seriously, what a statement game! Wideout Eli Rosenberg, a senior co-captain, was an absolute beast, pulling in five receptions for 147 yards and a ridiculous three touchdowns. His junior signal caller, Vincent Loscerbo, was slinging it, completing eight of 12 passes for 211 yards and three scores himself. These two were in a league of their own at Milford High’s turf field, and the Scarlet Hawks rolled up a massive 476 yards of total offense against the Flyers.

The Loscerbo-Rosenberg Show Took Center Stage

From the jump, Milford was on a mission. We’re talking twelve seconds into the game, and they were already up 7-0! It wasn’t some standard play either. Loscerbo dropped a backwards pass to sophomore reserve QB Logan Snaddon, who then unleashed a perfect downfield strike to Rosenberg. Eli just flew untouched into the end zone. Rosenberg called it perfectly: “That first play really set the tone of the game.” He stressed they’re a young team that worked hard in the offseason, and this particular play is one of their coach’s favorites. Framingham was caught completely off guard, biting on the coverage. That’s execution, plain and simple, and it ignited the estimated 2,000 spectators.

Young Bucks Making Noise Early

Even after an early interception by Framingham’s Jesus Battista, the Scarlet Hawks didn’t flinch. Their defense held strong, forcing a punt, and Milford immediately capitalized. Consecutive 24-yard rushes from Loscerbo and senior Wanderson Dos Santos carved up the field, setting up sophomore running back Kaua Reiss for a 15-yard scamper into the end zone. Just like that, it was 13-0 with 4:34 still left in the first quarter after that quick five-play, 66-yard drive. Then, another defensive stop gave Milford even better field position, leading to Rosenberg snagging his second touchdown. Loscerbo lofted a perfect fade from the 32-yard line, Rosenberg drew separation, caught it at the 15, and waltzed in untouched again. They were up a commanding 20-0 with 14 seconds left in the first quarter. Assistant coach Dana Olson admitted he “didn’t know what to expect heading into the season” with such a young team, relying so heavily on sophomores and juniors. But he’s got to be absolutely thrilled seeing guys like sophomore Sean Donelan and junior Erick Passos celebrating those early touchdowns.

What’s Next for the Scarlet Hawks

Rosenberg nailed it, saying they “really spent a lot of time in the film room.” It shows. Milford’s young squad just threw down an undeniable statement with a dominant 49-7 win over Framingham. Yeah, Olson mentioned “silly mistakes and committed some penalties,” but you clean that stuff up. What you can’t teach is that kind of offensive explosion and immediate chemistry between players like Loscerbo and Rosenberg. This opening night performance, witnessed by an estimated 2,000 fans, just kicked off the season with an absolute bang. The Scarlet Hawks are young, hungry, and already showing they mean business. Get ready for more, because this team is just getting started!
