A mere three plays into the game, two-way standout Mike Rand o was on the sideline with a high ankle sprain. And through the first quarter Friday night against visiting Wellesley, the explosive Walpole High offense had not put any points on the board.

But the Rebels kicked into gear in the second quarter when junior quarterback Will Bolster connected with Chris Collins , his 6-foot-4, 260-pound senior tight end on a 21-yard scoring pass. Cam Hanley then punched in a 5-yard touchdown run for a 14-0 lead.
