Wells took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Friday. Everything went their way against Nokomis as they made off with a 32-12 win. The final result isn't all that surprising considering Wells' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Maine football rankings (they are ranked seventh, while Nokomis is ranked 41st).
Wells got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Noah McDonough out in front who threw for 67 yards and two TDs on only five passes, and also punched in one score on the ground. Wells' leading receiver Darion Lemont was McDonough's top target yet again, picking up 67 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Wells was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 325 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Nokomis only rushed for 157 rushing yards.
When it comes to explaining why Nokomis lost, don't look at Seth Bowden. Despite the final result, he rushed for 84 yards and one score.
