WELLESLEY – It was Lukas Prock’s night to shine.

The sophomore quarterback threw for four touchdowns and rushed for another to lead Wellesley to a 35-13 football victory over Bay State Conference foe Weymouth.

“We played really hard as a team,” Prock said. “Our preparation throughout the week was key in this one.”

The Raiders (6-2) will now head into the Division 2 state tournament with some positive momentum. Head coach Jesse Davis credited a strong week of practice for setting the tone.

“It came down to how they practiced this week,” Davis said. “I think our kids on the scout team did a great job, our defensive coordinator Liam Sullivan put together a great game plan and the kids executed it.”

Wellesley started with possession but was quickly forced to punt. Weymouth would use a ground and pound offense to then charge down the field before a pass connection between Michael Farrow and Tyler Munchbach led to a touchdown.

The Raiders offense figured it out on the next possession, driving down the field and eventually capitalizing on a nine-yard pass from Prock to Matthew Leibman.

“They’re our guys up front and our quarterback, Lukas Prock, is a special talent,” Davis said. “He really gets the ball to guys in space. We spread the ball to our athletes.”

The defense kept the game going for the rest of the first quarter and the early stages of the second before Weymouth capitalized with a Farrow run. Wellesley responded by driving into Weymouth territory, leading to a 35-yard bomb from Farrow that found Tennyson Charney in the end zone.

“We worked really hard in the offseason,” Prock said. “I feel like it really translates, whether it’s me for (Charney), me for Matthew Liebman or anybody else on the team. Hard work pays off.”

That would be the extent of the scoring in the first half, with the game looking like a defensive battle. The Raiders offense had no intention of letting that happen.

Weymouth were quickly forced to punt and Wellesley quickly took advantage when Prock launched a deep pass to Matthew Yen that resulted in a 65-yard strike. The Raiders would then quickly force a fumble, and Prock went in from the two-yard line on the ensuing drive.

“No adjustments,” Davis said. “We had to play four quarters of tough football today and our guys did that. This is a huge win for us as we move into the playoffs next week.”

Weymouth looked to open the offensive attack, but a wild pass fell into the arms of Leibman, securing a second straight turnover. Wellesley would find the end zone once more after that, with Prock connecting with Charney for the second time.

“Great chemistry, great work in the offseason,” Charney said of his connection with Prock. “We continue here.”

As the Raiders prepare for the postseason, they know they will be a tough team to take down.

“When we play at our best, I felt like we played pretty close tonight, we’re a dangerous team,” Prock said.
