Four of his completions came on Bates&#8217; final scoring drive late in the fourth quarter, which was capped by a brilliant 20-yard catch and run to the end zone that gave Bates a 21-20 lead\u00a0with 1:15 to play. Beaton also caught a 19-yard touchdown pass from <strong>Ryan Katon<\/strong> in the third quarter, and in the second quarter he completed a key 6-yard pass to <strong>Tyler Kuehl<\/strong> on 4th down in the second quarter to keep the Bobcats&#8217; first scoring drive alive.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Beaton (West Newbury, Mass.) finished the season tied for the team lead in receptions with <strong>Sean Wirth<\/strong> with 28 and tied with <strong>Matt Gregg<\/strong> in touchdown catches, with three.
