Mauricio Sunderland rushed for three touchdowns, and Thornton Academy dominated the final three quarters in a 54-14 Class A football victory Saturday at Windham.

Thornton (2-1) led 12-7 after one quarter, on touchdown runs by Wyatt Benoit and Jackson Paradis.

A failed fake punt by Windham (0-3) early in the second quarter helped the Trojans take control. On the next play, Nate Neely got behind Windham’s defense and hauled in a deep pass from Benoit for a 48-yard touchdown. Benoit’s conversion pass to Paradis gave the Trojans a 20-7 lead.

Sunderland made it 27-7 with a 1-yard run.

Two plays into the second half, Brennan Tabor picked off a Windham pass and returned it 29 yards for a touchdown. Sunderland then scored on runs of 7 and 4 yards to extend the lead to 48-7 after three quarters.

Alex Roenisch added a 4-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter.

Windham’s touchdowns were a 7-yard run by Parker Sperry in the first quarter and an 83-yard kickoff return by Jordan Pastore in the fourth.
