Â
The Big Blue's offense was clicking Saturday.
Especially its aerial attack which sizzled in hot conditions on a swampy field at Byfield.

"We played well and moved the ball often," he said. Â "The defense and special teams gave us good field position and we took advantage of it to build a lead."
The team's performance was especially impressive considering 20 players arrived 20 minutes before kick-off due to SATs running late.
The victory improved the Blue's record to 2-3. They take on Malden on Saturday at Blocksidge Field at noon.
Malden lost their last game to Lynn English 35-12.
Coach Dembowski hopes his team can build off the Triton win and string a few wins together.
