Lobster Bowl: West takes early control to cruise

...“I read the quarterback and saw him looking my way and I had a good feeling that the ball might be coming my way,” said Succi. “Coach had a great call, we were pressing them hard in man coverage and that allowed me to sit right there and make a pick.”

After the game, Succi fondly recalled his days with the Rangers’ football team.

“We have a small team in Kittery, I played 48 minutes of football and my team here and back there helped this happen and get me in this position,” he said. “It was an incredible feeling (today). I’m going to miss this game so much.”

Forecaster: Local standouts lead West to lopsided Lobster Bowl win

SACO—Cape Elizabeth’s Ben Ekedahl and Deering’s Rob Dacey weren’t thrilled with the way their senior year high school football seasons ended last fall, but Saturday afternoon at Hill Stadium on the campus of Thornton Academy, they got to take the field one final time and they, as well as their West teammates, bowed out in style in the 28th annual Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl Classic.

One year after surrendering 58 points, the West’s defense went from maligned to dominant, thanks in large part to the play of Dacey, while the offense was unstoppable nearly all afternoon, as two Ekedahl TD receptions helped lead the way to a decisive 55-18 win over the East.

The West now enjoys a 19-9 all-time lead in the series.

Other Forecaster Country players taking part Saturday included Jesse Devereaux and Jackson Gordon of Class B state champion Brunswick, Cheverus’ Rylan Benedict and Dominic Casale, Falmouth’s Brandon Martin, Freeport’s T.J. Morrill, Morse’s Raz Baltazar, Mt. Ararat’s Robert Hetherman, Portland’s Nick Archambault and Dylan Bolduc, Scarborough’s Aren Dickman and Dakota Joy, South Portland’s Finn Zechman and Yarmouth’s Remi LeBlanc.

The senior all-star football game will be played at Thornton Academy's Hill Stadium for the second straight year.

Thornton Academy will host the Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl Classic for the second year in a row next summer, Athletic Director Gary Stevens announced Thursday night.
