Yarmouth Beats MDI 50-46 as McGonagle Rushes for 433 Yards

The MDI Trojans traveled down to Yarmouth Friday night, September 23rd, falling to the Yarmouth Clippers 50-46 as Michael McGonagle ran wild, rushing the ball 47 times for an eye-popping 433 yards.

The Clippers offense ran 63 plays during the game, 47 of them were runs by McGonagle, and he caught the ball twice for 29 yards. He scored 5 touchdowns and recovered a fumble.

Despite that, MDI was in the game until the very end, primarily due to the fact that Yarmouth was 1-8 on 2-point conversions and the fact that Aidan Grant carried the ball 21 times for 278 yards, scoring 3 touchdowns and returned a kickoff for 95 yards and a touchdown.

For the 2nd week Grant took MDI's opening play from scrimmage and broke a long run for a touchdown. Friday night it was a 84 yard run.

The Trojans after having difficulty with 2-point conversions against Waterville the week before were efficient, going 4-5 on 2-point attempts.

MDI did turn the ball over 3 times, with 2 fumbles and 1 interception. They did recover an onside kick which led to their last score with 1:28 left in the game. The Trojans attempted another onside kick, but Yarmouth recovered and ran 1 play to end the game.

MDI is now 1-2 and will play at Ellsworth on Friday, September 30th at 7 p.m. That game will be broadcast on WDEA Internet Radio, on our free downloadable APP and on any Alexa enabled devices.

Yarmouth is undefeated at 4-0. They will play at Morse on Saturday, October 1st at 3:30 p.m.
