Belmont HS leads the MIAA table as the league moves into June after beating defending D2 state champion, Hanover HS, 46-12.

In a competitive game, Belmont led only 21-12 at halftime after Hanover rebounded from an early deficit. But the second half was all Belmont as center Nathanael Taylor showed off some smart kicking skills and tries from scrumhalf Joe Viale (his third of the day) and flanker Will Lozano made it 39-12.

A box kick from Viale set up center George Fitzgerald for a try to finish off the scoring at 46-12. Viale, Will Lozano, Mark Morash, Fitzgerald, and Maxwell Baskerville all played well for a Belmont team that has alreayd logged wins over BC High and Lincoln-Sudbury.

The playoffs are around the corner and Belmont should have the #1 seed.
