BATH — Racean Wood’s fourth-quarter 30-yard touchdown run snapped a 14-14 tie as Waterville left McMann Field with a 20- 14 Pine Tree Conference football victory on Friday over Morse.

The Purple Panthers improved to 3-1, while the Shipbuilders fell to 1-3 and host Madison/Carrabec this upcoming Friday at 7 p.m.

“We played hard, but very sloppy,” said Morse coach Jason Darling. “We had too many penalties and mental mistakes to take advantage. We lacked composure and execution at key moments.”

Wood rushed for 164 yards, and his 8-run touchdown run late in the first half tied the contest at the break.

Waterville led 7-0 after the first quarter, scoring on its second possession. Evan Greatorex ran up the middle to paydirt from the Mo-5.

The Shipbuilders battled back, as quarterback Kevin McKellar tied the game on a 6-yard run.

Later in second frame, D’Vaughn Meyers stepped in front of an Aidan Fitzgerald pass and returned the interception 70 yards for a score. Aaron Barrett’s second extra-point kick gave the Shipbuilders a 14- 7 lead.

McKellar finished eight of 15 in the air for 85 yards with two interceptions. His favorite target was Keegan Drouin, who hauled in two passes for 67 yards.

Myers carried the ball five times for 54 yards, with McKellar chipping in 34 yards on the ground. Liam McDonough added 29 rushing yards.

Defensively, Morse was paced by Myers with nine tackles, while Michael Bonzagni had eight tackles, including a sack. McDonough also had eight stops.
