Burcy and Rockets Run All Over Belmont

Reading High School had its most complete game of the year, cruising to a 48-16 win over also-ran Belmont.

The Reading High School football team is officially back on track.

After losing to Arlington in their second game of the season, the Rockets have now won three straight games thanks to a blowout win over Belmont on Friday night.

According to the team's Twitter account, D'Andrea Burcy led Reading with three rushing touchdowns, including a 55-yard scamper as the locals snagged a 48-18 win.

Burcy opened the scoring before quarterback Drew Belcher found the end zone on a touchdown of his own. Burcy was the next Rocket to score before Belcher connected on a touchdown pass to Robert DiLoreto later in the game. 

Not long after Burcy broke free for his long touchdown run and he was soon joined in the scorebook by Liam Kenneally, who ran for his own touchdown, and DiLoreto, who also took to the ground for a score.

Thanks to the win, Reading is 4-1 and in third place in the Middlesex League Liberty Division. The Rockets can take over second place on Friday night if they're able to beat Woburn, which is 5-1 on the year after suffering its first loss of the year Friday to league champion Arlington.

Friday night is the last currently scheduled Reading game until Thanksgiving Day.
