Separation anxiety? Nah ...

It may only be Week Three in high school football, but Morse Coach Jason Libby coined it well: Separation Week.

A win or a loss now for any team could decide the eventual playoff field, especially if it becomes a tight race in the final days of the regular season. The Shipbuilders proved the theory in 2006; despite a 3-4 regular season record, Morse made the Eastern Class B playoffs with the help of a win over Leavitt in Week Three.

Worth noting ...

With a 40-13 win over Lisbon on Friday, the Boothbay Region football team ended the Greyhounds' 23-game winning streak. Lisbon's last loss came Sept. 16, 2005, a 21-14 loss at Mattanawcook Academy.

The Cheverus offense more than doubled its total scoring output for the season in Saturday's 28-6 win over Westbrook. In their first two games, the Stags scored only 12 points – single touchdowns in losses to Bonny Eagle and South Portland.
