Football Preview: Foxcroft Academy Ponies vs. Oceanside Mariners
The Foxcroft Academy Ponies will hit the road for the first time this season to take on the Oceanside Mariners at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Foxcroft Academy is headed out to face Oceanside after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Foxcroft Academy simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat Belfast 71-7 at home. Given the Ponies' advantage in MaxPreps' Maine football rankings (they are ranked tenth, while the Lions are ranked 45th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Oceanside had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They took down Brunswick 30-14 on Saturday.
Zeb Foster was nothing short of spectacular: he rushed for 208 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.4 yards per carry. The dominant performance gave him a new career- in rushing yards. The team also got some help courtesy of Robert Blair, who gained 184 total yards and a touchdown.
Foxcroft Academy might still be hurting after the 27-7 defeat they got from Oceanside in their previous meeting back in October of 2016. Can Foxcroft Academy avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
