A Round of 16 defeat

Dennis-Yarmouth’s 2026 Division 6 football tournament ended with a 28–13 loss at Lynnfield on November 6. The MIAA bracket records the eighth-seeded host advancing from the Round of 16.

D-Y was seeded ninth with a 7–1 record at selection; Lynnfield’s listed selection record was 6–1. The defeat removes D-Y from the state championship bracket.

Five wins led into the postseason

The school-linked varsity results show D-Y arriving after five consecutive wins in October. It beat Middleborough 20–14, Sandwich 23–14, Nantucket 29–10, Cardinal Spellman 34–0 and Falmouth 40–12. The last of those came away from home on October 30.

D-Y’s earlier September results included a 20–6 victory over Mashpee and a 14–41 loss to Abington.

D-Y’s schedule independently marks the November 6 game as a playoff loss at Lynnfield High School. It confirms the same 13–28 score from the visiting team’s perspective.

State elimination and later fixtures

D-Y’s school schedule now lists Apponequet Regional at home on November 13 at 7 p.m., at Alan R. Carlsen Track and Field.

The MIAA football format provides separate non-playoff scheduling for teams eliminated from the state tournament. The Lynnfield defeat ended D-Y’s state championship bid, with another school-listed fixture still ahead.
