Scituate High School senior Grayson Foley is already committed to playing D1 baseball at Bryant University next year.
But the Sailors star is also a force out on the gridiron, as evidenced by his dominant performance on Friday night against North Quincy.
Foley put together a stat line straight out of a Madden video game in Scituate’s 42-28 win over North Quincy — rushing for 347 yards and all six of the Sailors’ touchdowns, while also recording three interceptions on the defensive side of the ball as a safety.
“That was a fun one,” Foley said postgame, as captured by Brendan Connelly of the Boston Herald. “It was close at first, but we were able to pull away a little bit in the end. It was a lot of fun. I’m speechless at the moment.”
Friday’s win improved Scituate to 7-0 on the season, with North Quincy suffering its first loss of the year.
While Foley has his sights set on the baseball field, he’s put together quite the resume during his years playing football — winning two state championships while also holding the Sailors’ rushing crown since Herb Devine took over as head coach in 2008.
With Scituate now sailing toward the final stretch of the regular season, Foley was quick to credit the entire roster for its efforts toward toppling a previously undefeated North Quincy team.
“I feel like all my stats kind of show how well of a team we are and how good we work together,” Foley said. “And as I say every week, I’m nothing like that with them. So all my stats, all my accolades, it’s all [because of] them.”
