WEST BOYLSTON, Mass. - The West Boylston football team is in the state semi-finals and taking on Amesbury this Friday.

The Lion's success is rooted in their physical play. Amesbury is a mirror image of the West Boylston, so this game is going to be a knock down, drag em out affair that at times will just resemble and 11-man board drill. 

With both teams running almost exclusively, the game may only last 45 minutes. It should be a close game and a really physical one. Kick-off is set for Friday at 5 p.m. at Cawley Stadium in Lowell.
