Windham ME: In keeping with the winning ways, Windham defeated Westbrook 50-0.

 

Windham lost the coin toss and ended up kicking off to Westbrook.  However, it didn’t take but three plays for Matt McLean to put a ball loosening hit on the Westbrook quarterback and Windham’s Joe Francoeur would pounce on the ball to give Windham possession at the Blue Blazes 44 yard line.  The Eagles went to the air and Jeremy Peavey caught the ball to give Windham a quick first down.  Max McDonald then took a hand-off to get another big gain.  TD O’Brien found Peavey again in the end zone to quickly put Windham on the board.  Westbrook stopped the two point conversion.

After the Eagle kick off, Westbrook started at their own 30.  Windham’s defense forced the Blue Blazes to punt.  Windham took possession at the 50.  Colby Waterhouse took the direct snap two times to get an Eagle first down.  TD O’Brien found Christian Coons on a pass to get 13 more yards.  Max McDonald then rambled 16 yards to record his second touchdown.  O’Brien would find Drew Gagnon in the end zone to record the two point conversion. 

 

Westbrook started their third possession on their own three yard line.  In the second quarter, Windham again forced them to punt and took possession at their own 42 yard line.  TD O’Brien hit Pat Pearson for a 48 yard gain.  Windham quickly converted the touchdown.  James Fisher took the hand-off and muscled his way in for the two extra points.

In the next series, Windham’s defense was quick to capitalize on a Westbrook offensive mistake.  Westbrook attempted a pitch out, but the running back wasn’t looking and the ball rolled out of control in the Blue Blazes backfield.  Windham recovered on the 33 yard line.  Westbrook’s defense worked hard holding the Eagles to fourth down and 10.  TD O’Brien found Drew Gagnon for a 31 yard reception to give the Eagles first down and goal.  Eric Hook found the end zone for the Eagles and Dylan Henry punched in the two points to give Windham the 30-0 lead at the half.

 

The Eagles took possession in the third and continued their offensive dominance.  Max McDonald would ramble 27 yards to put six more points on the board.  On the two point conversion, TD O’Brien looked to pass, then tucked the ball and found the end zone to add the two points.  The Blue Blazes started at their own 19 and Windham’s defense again forced them to punt on fourth and 16.  Damien Shepard took the punt 35 yards and after a penalty the Eagles started at the Westbrook eight yard line.  Calvin Field handed to Dylan Henry to record another six points for the Eagles.  The two point conversion was stopped by Westbrook.

Westbrook came out and started showing Windham that they could play football.  They quickly moved the ball into Eagle territory and got to the 20 yard line to end the third quarter.  On fourth and two yards, Windham’s Pat Pearson blew into the backfield and tackled the running back to give Windham the ball.  Westbrook forced Windham to punt and took possession.  Westbrook again moved the ball against the Eagles.  As time was ticking down in the game, Westbrook tried a long pass.  Colby Waterhouse intercepted the ball at the Eagle 15 yard line and scrambled the length of the field to give Windham a touchdown as time ran out.
