SOUTH BERWICK — Westbrook High pulled one of the more stunning victories of the high school football season Friday night, using a strong defense and timely offense to defeat Marshwood 16-13 in a Class B South game.

Marshwood (2-1) is the defending Class B state champion, and while not the overpowering force of a year ago had made the plays it needed through the first two games. Westbrook (1-2), meanwhile, had undergone disappointment in its opening two games.

Stephen Shackley scored on a short run with 1:08 left in the third quarter to put the Blue Blazes ahead for good.

Zach Doyon had given Marshwood a 13-10 lead on a 9-yard run earlier in the quarter.

Westbrook scored 10 points in the first quarter on a field goal and a touchdown pass from Bailey Sawyer to Bailey Ryan, who made a critical interception late in the game.

CAPE ELIZABETH 35, SPRUCE MOUNTAIN 34: Andrew Darling scored five touchdowns but was stopped by the left side of the Cape Elizabeth defensive line on a game-deciding 2-point conversion attempt in overtime at Livermore Falls.

Cape Elizabeth (3-0) never led in regulation, which ended with a 32-yard field-goal attempt by Ben Ekedahl that was blocked by Spruce Mountain (1-2).

The Phoenix opened leads of 14-0 and 21-7, as Darling scored on a 61-yard interception return, a 29-yard reception and a 34-yard run. The Capers made it 21-20 at halftime on scoring passes of 6 yards to Justin Guerette and 61 to Nate Ingalls by Jack O’Rourke, who also scrambled 10 yards for a touchdown.

Darling’s fourth touchdown was a 3-yard run in the third quarter. Early in the fourth, Ryan Weare bulled in from the 1 after Cape Elizabeth drew the Phoenix offside on a fourth-down play from the 2. O’Rourke ran in the conversion to make it 28-28.

In overtime, O’Rourke connected with Matt Graham for a 6-yard touchdown pass on third down. Ekedahl booted the PAT to put Cape Elizabeth ahead 35-28.

Spruce Mountain scored on its first play in overtime as Darling swept right for a 10-yard score.

After calling a timeout, the Phoenix decided to go for the victory with a 2-point conversion and handed the ball to Darling off tackle, where he was met by three defenders a yard short of the end zone.
