WALES — It’s hard to play catch up when you can’t stop your opponent from scoring.

That was the case Saturday for the Oak Hill Raiders. They tried to match score for score with the Winslow Black Raiders and came up short as the visitors ran wild for 417 yards en route to a 43-22 Class C football victory.

Winslow (6-1) jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the second quarter and appeared to be in complete control. They had picked up rushing touchdowns by three different players. Quarterback Donald Camp’s 38-yard quarterback keeper came first before Dylan Hapworth scored from 10 yards out and Eric Crawley added a 4-yard run in building a 21-0 lead.

Winslow’s defense dominated Oak Hill (3-4) in the first half, allowing just one first down, while defensive end Brock Deschaine sacked freshman starting quarterback Alex Mace three times. The lone bright spot was a 58-yard scoring pass from Mace to Brandon Potvin.

Deciding his team needed a change, Oak Hill coach Dave Wing went to sophomore Parker Asselin under center to start the third quarter.

“I thought we needed a change at quarterback,” Wing said. “It was a little overwhelming for Alex, and Parker gave us a lift.”

Asselin immediately directed a pair of scoring drives to open the third with Cody DePuy being the workhorse. DePuy ran for 114 of his team-high 132 yards in the final two quarters.

On their first drive of the half, the Raiders went 81 yards in nine plays with fullback Kyle Flaherty gaining 29 yards on four carries and DePuy picking up the rest of the yardage. DuPuy went around the left side, picking up a key block from Luke Washburn which took out a pair of defenders for a 20-yard scoring run to close the gap to 21-14.

After the Black Raiders answered with a 7-yard scoring sneak by Camp, the Raiders went back to work as DePuy raced downfield for gains of 26 and 44 yards before going over from a yard out. According to Wing, DePuy’s performance put him around the 1,000-yard mark for the season.

As easily the scoring came for the home squad, stopping Winslow’s offense was near impossible.

“You have to stop them and we couldn’t today,” Wing said.

No matter who lugged the football, the Black Raiders’ running backs couldn’t be slowed. They marched their way for three scoring drives in the second half with each of them being for eight or more plays as they picked up first down, after first down, after first down.

Four backs averaged more than five yards per carry with each totaling more than 50 yards. Starting tailback Joseph Hopkins earned 53 yards and was limited after being dinged up in the first quarter. Converted guard Crawley chewed up 92 yards, while the freshman Hapworth exploded for 174 yards. All Camp did was rush for 79 yards and four scores. The Black Raiders only attempted two passes, instead electing to utilize their power running game.

“We put a couple of big backs in there,” said Winslow coach Mike Siviski, “and we had to overcome some bumps and bruises. This was a big game for us.”

Camp tacked on a pair of short scoring runs in the fourth quarter to close the scoring. He was able to find open running room throughout the game, scoring twice on sneaks while finding all sorts of open room on other occasions.

“The coaches saw the openings,” Camp said. “I just read the defense. They were loading up on the power side and I just ran up the middle.”
