The Boothbay football team is on a roll, winning two consecutive games. On Sept. 25, the Seahawks traveled to Hiram and beat Sacopee Valley, 32-14, in 8-man action. Boothbay improves to 2-1 and Sacopee Valley falls to 0-4.

In recent years, Sacopee Valley has been a difficult opponent for Boothbay so Coach Ed Crocker was pleased to defeat a tough opponent on the road. Boothbay scored five touchdowns in the win, but Crocker said his team defense proved to be the decisive factor.

"Sacopee Valley opened up with a couple long runs, but our defense adjusted and they struggled to move the ball after that," he said.

Crocker credited improved play by several defenders as key factors in the team's success.

"Colby Doucette had his second good game at middle linebacker. Aiden Locke and Jayden Orne contained the Sacopee outside runs and Chase Licursi played well in the secondary which resulted in a strong defensive team effort."

Boothbay is now in fourth place in the Southern Conference Crabtree Point standings.

On Oct. 2, Boothbay hosts No. 1 Old Orchard Beach (4-0) as their Homecoming opponent. OOB has beaten Sacopee Valley, Orono, Telstar and Old Town this season.
