Hampden kicked off their season on the road on Friday and hit a couple of potholes. They were dealt a 50-8 loss at the hands of the Leavitt Hornets. While losing is never fun, the Broncos can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Maine football rankings (they are ranked 55th, while the Hornets are ranked third).
When it comes to explaining why Hampden lost, don't look at Julian McEwen. Despite the final result, he picked up 96 receiving yards and one touchdown. McEwen showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 67 yards.
