FALMOUTH — It was a list of things we never see from Leavitt football, all wrapped up in one ugly game Friday night. Eleven penalties. Five interceptions. Drives that reached the red zone but ended in a turnover or a sack. Quizzical looks and hanging heads. Undefeated Falmouth, led by senior Connor Aube’s three touchdowns and […]
