DOVER-FOXCROFT — Lisbon took the lead in the fourth quarter and held on to defeat Foxcroft 14-13 and end the state’s longest active winning streak in a Class D football contest Friday.

Colby Levasseur scored 2-yard touchdown on fourth-and-1 from the Foxcroft 2-yard line, then quarterback Jimmy Fitzsimmons ran in the 2-point conversation to put the Greyhounds up 14-7 with 7:39 remaining in the game.

The Ponies (2-1) drove down and scored with 3:45 to play. They kicked the extra point, but Lisbon (2-2) was called for a penalty. Foxcroft decided to instead go for 2, and the lead, but the Greyhounds stuffed the run play to maintain their lead at 14-13.

The Ponies forced a turnover on downs with 1:45 left and then drove into the red zone, mostly via pass plays, but the Lisbon defense got a sack and pressured the quarterback into an incompletion on fourth-and-15 to secure the win.

Lisbon had a pair of long drives in the first half that didn’t lead to any points. They finally got on the scoreboard when Josh Carter, who ran for 91 yards, capped another long drive with a TD run, cutting the Ponies’ lead to 7-6 with four minutes remaining in the third quarter.
