FRYEBURG — Austin Chase broke a tackle in the backfield, drove off tackle and sprinted 82 yards down the sideline for the go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter, and Gray-New Gloucester held on for a 22-20 win over Fryeburg Academy in a Class C South football game Saturday afternoon.

It was the second straight comeback win for Gray-New Gloucester (2-0), which snapped a 23-game losing streak with a 44-37 victory over Mountain Valley in its season opener.

Fryeburg (0-2) threatened to regain the lead in the closing seconds but fumbled the ball away at the goal line on the final play.

Ryan Gullikson gave Fryeburg an 8-0 lead in the first quarter with a 10-yard run and a conversion pass to Scott Parker. Chase countered with an 85-yard run early in the second quarter, and Justice Bowie passed to Zack Haskell for the tying conversion.

The Patriots recovered the ensuing kickoff after it was mishandled by Fryeburg, and Bowie connected with Haskell on the next play for a 38-yard touchdown, then ran in the conversion.

Fryeburg pulled ahead in the third quarter, though, when Gullikson scored on runs of 3 and 4 yards.
