It was a memorable night for 11 Boothbay Seahawk seniors. They played and won their final home game at Sherman Field. The Seahawks defeated Telstar 41-6 on Oct. 14 in high school club football action.

The Seahawks came out soaring on both offense and defense. Boothbay returned the kickoff to the 50 and capped off a six-play drive with a one-yard touchdown run by quarterback Duncan Drapeau. The Seahawks scored a two-point conversion with Drapeau connecting with wide receiver Alex Smith making the score 8-0.

The defense found pay dirt three plays later.

Middle linebacker Carter Babcock intercepted a Telstar pass and returned it 16 yards for the score. This was the first of four touchdowns the senior linebacker and fullback scored. With Boothbay leading 15-0, Babcock made the score 21-0 on a 50-yard touchdown run. Babcock later added touchdown runs of 53 and 10 yards. Fellow senior Drapeau scored his second touchdown in the second quarter with a 50-yard run.

In total, Boothbay rushed for 330 yards. The Seahawk defense played well, limiting the Rebels to 144 total yards. Telstar had 118 rushing yards with 43 on one play. The Rebels’ long gainer resulted in their only touchdown in the third quarter.

Babcock and Drapeau led the Seahawk offensive attack. Babcock rushed seven times for 143 yards and Drapeau carried six times for 76 yards.

Boothbay’s victory improves the team’s record to 5-1. The Seahawks’ only loss came two weeks ago against Sacopee Valley. Boothbay had a bye last week. Seahawk players believed the extra preparation resulted in their being ready to play Friday night.

“The team really came together this week. It was senior night, and it was important to put the Sacopee game behind us,” Drapeau said. “It’s a game we’ve thought about all year so it was important to play well. And the line did an amazing job blocking for us.”

Linebacker and offensive lineman Jeremy Holbrook described the practices leading up to the seniors’ final home game as intense.

“The Sacopee game left a bad taste in everybody’s mouth. Nobody played well. We fixed what was wrong in practice. And it was a great way to play our final home game,” he said.
