On the diamond, he’s D1-committed center fielder and pitcher. On the football field, he’s a school-record-holding two-way star.
Senior Grayson Foley may be a baseball player first – but that’s not stopping him from making quite a bit of noise this football season. The Scituate High School (MA) running back and defensive back was the standout in the Sailors’ 42-28 victory over North Quincy on Friday night, Oct. 23, rushing for 347 yards on 38 carries and tallying six touchdowns. On defense, he snagged three interceptions.
It was just another day at the office for Foley. The Bryant baseball (Smithfield, RI) commit has been making waves all season and became Scituate’s leading rusher of the Herb Devine era in early October, besting the prior record
of 3,241 yards set by Dawayne Kirton. Devine became the program's head coach in 2008.
“We go out here and try to perform every single play,” Foley told the Patriot Ledger, a member of the USA TODAY Network, after Friday’s game. “I credit the mentality, the brotherhood and the chemistry together.”
The Foley-led victory over North Quincy brought Sciutate’s pristine record to 7-0 on the season, and the Sailors are currently in the hunt for their third-straight Division 4 state championship.
