Fourth quarter

On fourth and 9 from the Boothbay 38, Dylan Brandt's 14-yard pass to Kris Noonan extended Boothbay's drive but the mistakes have added up for the Seahawks. Boothbay reached the Foxcroft 48 but took three penalties for 15 yards and punted away with 4:10 left.

Third quarter

Early in the third, Boothbay has begun to exhibit one of the philosophies - timing - of the double-wing offense. On its first drive, the Seahawks went 37 yards on 13 plays, reaching the Foxcroft 37 and chewing up nearly five minutes to open the second half.

But the Seahawks turned over the ball on downs as Kris Noonan was flagged for offensive pass interference, attempting to catch quarterback Sam Cook's pass on fourth-and-6.

The penalty placed the Ponies at the Boothbay 48 and started Foxcroft's fourth scoring drive. Gould scored his third touchdown with 3:30 left in the third, a 12-yard reception from Nason. Foxcroft 26-8.

Ian Champeon's interception of Seahawks quarterback Sam Cook set up Foxcroft's third scoring drive. Nason's 29-yard touchdown pass to Gould, followed by Wade Witham's 2-point conversion run at 5:34, gave the Ponies a 20-0 lead.

Champeon had three carries for 38 yards in the drive, including a 26-yard carry.
