LISBON FALLS – The list of priorities for the Lisbon Greyhounds going into Saturday’s regular-season finale with Winthrop were, in no particular order, 1) don’t drown, 2) keep everybody healthy for the playoffs and, 3) enter those playoffs with a perfect record.

Lisbon somehow managed to do all three in the quagmire that was Thompson Field, sailing to a 36-0 victory in a game called after three quarters due to the deteriorating conditions.

“Winthrop’s a very good team, and we expected the game to be much closer than it was, but as a key, we wanted to come out of this game healthy,” Lisbon coach Dick Mynahan said. “That’s always a question mark on this kind of a day, and it worked out.”

The Greyhounds will enter next week’s Campbell Conference semifinals 9-0 and as the No. 1 seed. They will take an 18-game winning streak into next Saturday’s game with fourth-seeded Jay.

The Ramblers, whose playoff hopes were dashed with last Monday night’s loss to Boothbay, finished the season 4-5.

Playing in wet and windy conditions for the second-straight week, the Greyhounds scored on all five of their first-half possessions.

“It helped being out there last week (in the win over Old Orchard Beach),” Mynahan said. “And then this week, we did that old-time drill of taking a bucket of water with a ball in it out to practice on Thursday and playing with a wet ball all day.”

Ryan Giusto trudged 24 yards for a touchdown on their first drive, and Jesse Moan followed with an 8-yard scoring run on the second.

The special teams took over from there. Joe Stevens made it 22-0 with a 66-yard punt return along the right sideline. Zach Bubar blocked Winthrop’s next punt attempt, setting up Willis’ 10-yard TD run on a reverse. Bubar closed out the scoring by making a nice adjustment and coming back to grab a Mike Unterkoefler pass in the end zone for a 12-yard score just before halftime.

Officials kept a running clock while Lisbon sent in its subs for the start of the second half, then called the game after the horn sounded to end the third quarter.

Willis, who needed 60 yards to reach the 1,000-yard milestone on the season, reached precisely that number on 13 carries.

“It’s really surprising to me,” Mynahan said. “I didn’t think we’d get someone to 1,000 yards this year. It’s a credit to our line but it’s probably more of a credit to Dan. He just seems to be able to come up with yards that aren’t there. He has surprisingly good field vision for someone his size (5-foot-11).”

Josh Dubois led Winthrop’s ground game with 20 yards on nine rushes.
