Top Headlines Wamsutta Middle School won eight new computers, one for each touchdown, in the lopsided win. The school was selected after Deb Carreiro, a health and physical education teacher, submitted an entry to a contest run by software company Kaspersky Lab and TV station WBZ. "It was pretty exciting," Carreiro said, adding that she was notified last week that her entry had been chosen randomly and that her school would qualify to receive one computer for each time Tom Brady and his team crossed the goal line. "The touchdowns just came one after another," she said. "I couldn't believe it." Carreiro said she was initially disappointed to learn that it had begun snowing just before game time, thinking that would keep down scoring. ![]() Wamsutta Middle School on Locust Street in Attleboro.

Carreiro said there was plenty of excitement at school leading up to the high-scoring weekend and a celebratory mood when students arrived for class Monday morning. Carreiro said the computers will be delivered to her school after the conclusion of the NFL season.
