MELROSE, MA — A trip to the Super Bowl is one game away for the Melrose football team. A win Saturday against Hopkinton in a battle of undefeateds clinches a shot at the title at Gillette Stadium. The teams play at 2 p.m. in Weymouth.

It won't be easy for the Red Raiders. Melrose and Hopkinton are two of nine undefeated teams in Eastern Mass. See how Melrose helped make the Middlesex League the cream of the crop.

Melrose won the Division 4 North championship with a narrow victory over Marblehead on the back of an outstanding performance by Isaac Seide, who ran for more than 245 yards.

The winner of Saturday's game faces Div. 4 Central champion Nashoba, which has a 9-1 record. Nashoba gets a bye into the Super Bowl because there is no Division 4 in Western Mass.
