SANFORD AT THORNTON ACADEMY
October 27, 2022
Ryan O’Keefe threw three touchdown passes and rushed for a TD, and the Golden Trojans (7-2) ended their regular season with a win over the Spartans (5-4) in Saco.
O’Keefe connected with Xander Cantara for a 38-yard touchdown pass on Thornton’s first possession. On the next Thornton drive, a 37-yard pass to Henry Lausier led to Hayden Whitney’s 1-yard scoring plunge.
Sanford’s Tylor Pitman intercepted an O’Keefe pass and returned it 55 yards for a touchdown early in the second quarter. But O’Keefe answered with a 1-yard TD run to make it 20-7 at halftime, then added touchdown passes of 14 yards to Carlos Eboli and 32 yards to Lausier on the first two drives of the second half. Eboli’s long kickoff return to open the second half set up his touchdown catch.
O’Keefe finished 11 of 17 for 233 yards.
Sanford’s only offensive TD was a 1-yard run by Jordan Bissonnette late in the third. Whitney capped the scoring with a 2-yard run in the fourth.
