Connor Whitten and Brooks Fox, Wells: In one of the best state final games in recent memory, the Warriors stunned Foxcroft Academy, thanks to some late-game heroics from Fox and Whitten. Fox hit Whitten for a 3-yard touchdown with 19 seconds left to pull Wells within 21-20. The Warriors then decided to go for the win instead of overtime, and Fox again hit Whitten in the end zone for the go-ahead 2-point conversion.
