BEDFORD – Not a whole lot separated Bedford and Walpole.

Except for one stop.

Walpole defensive lineman Jeremiah Colon tackled Bedford quarterback Sylar Pimental on the four-yard line, securing a 28-20 overtime victory for the Wolverines. Pimental had moved the chains all game, but on fourth-and-goal from the eight, Colon made the stop of the season.

“I saw him rolling out, and we got him,” said Colon. “We wanted that stop, we needed it. Bedford was a tough team, but we earned this.”

That final stop was the opposite of the previous possession, where Walpole running back Dillon Needham scored on fourth-and-one. The victory extends the season for No. 9 Walpole (5-4), who upset the No. 8 Bedford, and now move on to the Round of 8 in the Division 4 MIAA playoffs.
