The Golden Trojans (2-2) got touchdown runs from Caden True and Hayden Whitney in the second half, then survived a late 2-point conversion attempt and stopped another drive with an interception to hold on for a win over the Rams (2-2) in Biddeford.

Kennebunk led 7-2 at halftime after a 4-yard touchdown run by Jonah Barstow in the second quarter, but True put the Trojans ahead with a 35-yard run late in the third.

Whitney then made it 15-7 with a 4-yard run early in the fourth.

Kennebunk had a chance to tie with 3:15 remaining after an unusual 30-yard scoring play. Jack Cornell threw a short pass to Greg Compton, who tried to extend the ball while being tackled. Jacob Morris, though, took the ball out of his teammate’s hands and raced 25 yards for a touchdown. The conversion pass failed, however, as Morris couldn’t hold on to a high pass from Cornell.

A fumble on Thornton’s next possession gave Kennebunk one more chance, but Henry Lausier made his second interception of the fourth quarter – a diving grab at the Thornton 1.

Thornton got a safety in the first quarter on a blocked punt through the end zone.
