WATERBORO — Tanner Cortes  hit Gordon Beckwith with a screen pass on a third-and-long in the fourth quarter and Beckwith rumbled into Massabesic territory to spark a late rally and help lift Lewiston to a 27-22 win over the Mustangs on Friday night.

Shortly after Beckwith’s gain, Garrett Poussard powered into the end zone from six yards out to put the visiting Blue Devils (2-5) in front for good.

“We’ll take a win anytime,” Lewiston coach Bruce Nicholas said. “It looked like we might cruise early, but we know better.”

The Devils jumped out to an early 19-0 lead, largely behind Cortes’ arm. The QB connected on a handful of passes, notably a 60-yard strike to Brock Belanger for a score in the second quarter.

But the Mustangs clawed back. They added a score before halftime, and then consecutive scores in the third and fourth quarters to take a 22-19 lead before Lewiston finally responded.

Wells 52, Gray-NG 0

GRAY — Riley Dempsey scored a pair of touchdowns to lead a balanced attack by Wells, which rolled to a 52-0 victory over Gray-New Gloucester in a Class C South football game at Myles Burbank Memorial Field on Friday.

Deandre Woods, Chad Fitzpatrick, Evan Whitten, Michael Wrigley and Tyler Bridge also found the end zone for the Warriors (7-0), who also got a 33-yard field goal from Keegan Reidy.

The Patriots (0-7) will look for their first win of the season next week when they travel to rival Poland.
