TAUNTON — The Diman football team came into Friday’s Mayflower contest with Bristol-Plymouth feeling angry.
The Bengals were still smarting after taking it on the chin against Old Colony last week. Not to mention, the players could not attend their Homecoming Dance on the same night.
So instead, Diman took its frustration out on the Craftsmen.
“Obviously, we come in with the mindset every week to do what we just did to (B-P) tonight,” said Bengals senior quarterback Sam Perry after a dominating 42-6 road victory at Taunton High School. “Some weeks don’t go your way and this week, it seem like everything, defense, special teams and offense were firing against them.
