Brockton PostBROCKTON--Whether he was crashing through three defenders into the end zone or kicking the the nail-in-the-coffin field goal, Brockton's Lucas Depina posted two of Brockton's three scores Friday night in the Boxer's season opening 16-6 win over Boston College High School.
DePina put the Boxers ahead 13-6 in the second quarter after a BC fumble put the Boxers on the 28-yeard-line.
On the first snap senior quarterback Paul Mroz--in his first ever varsity start--sent a bullet to DePina who caught it at about the 6-yard-line and despite being surrounded by BC defenders powered his way into the end zone and a 13-6 Boxers lead.
Seconds after the Herculean effort, Depina came out to kick the point-after-touchdown, but pushed a tired ball wide.
With minutes left in the fourth quarter and after a stout BC defense stopped the Boxers within 5 yards of the end zone, Depina kicked a 19-yard field goal to give Brockton the 16-6 win with 2:02 left in the game. 
BC took an early lead on its second possession in the first quarter when Preston Cooper busted through the Boxers defensive line for a 30-yard touch down run.
The Boxers tied the game when junior Albert Louis-Jean--13th in the Associated Press' Top 25 high school prospects--caught a 55-yard bomb and sprinted untouched down the sideline for a 6-6 tie in the first quarter.
The Boxers are back on the field Friday against Taunton High School in Taunton.
