LISBON FALLS – The Class C football championship game between Lisbon High School and Foxcroft Academy will be the meat in a triple-decker football sandwich on Saturday.

After weighing travel issues for the six schools involved in the championship games at Fitzpatrick Stadium in Portland, Lisbon and Foxcroft have been assigned to the afternoon session.

Kickoff time is 2:30 p.m.

Tickets for the game are available by contacting Lisbon co-curricular coordinator Jeff Ramich in the school’s athletic office. The phone number is 353-3030.

Adult admission is $7. Student price is $4.

“One ticket entitles you to watch all three games,” Ramich said. “But if you leave the field, you have to pay to get back in.”

Deering and Brunswick meet in the Class A final at 11 a.m. Belfast and Gorham wrap up the day in the Class B championship at 6 p.m.

This is the second straight year that the Maine Principals’ Association has employed a one-site “Super Saturday” for the football state championships.

The MPA placed all three games at Fitzpatrick Stadium in 2002 out of convenience, as the artificial surface provided the safest, most level playing field after an early snowfall.

Fitzpatrick Stadium is easily accessed from Exit 5 of Interstate 95. It is adjacent to Hadlock Field and the Portland Exposition Building.

First-come, first-served parking is located in the lot at the sports complex between the Expo and football field. Otherwise, parking is available on side streets and in several smaller lots within a half-mile walk of the game site.

Belfast and Foxcroft each lost its respective state final last November.

Class C is the only championship game involving two undefeated teams. Lisbon and Foxcroft both are 11-0. The Greyhounds downed Boothbay 28-14 to win the Western championship, while the Ponies snuck past Stearns 6-0 in overtime to claim the Eastern crown.

Lisbon and Foxcroft also met for the 1997 championship in Fairfield, with Lisbon winning 21-19 on a goal-line stand and 98-yard scoring drive in the final three minutes.

Deering and Brunswick are playing in a state final for the first time in two decades, while Gorham is seeking its first-ever Gold Ball.
