THORNTON ACADEMY AT BANGOR
September 6, 2024
Connor Ayoob scored twice on runs and Thornton Academy collected touchdowns on its first four possessions en route to a season-opening victory at Bangor.
Ayoob scored from 6 yards in the first quarter and 11 yards in the third for the defending Class A champion Trojans, whose only first-half possession that didn’t end with a touchdown was a kneel-down to end the half after an end-zone interception with 1 second remaining.
Thornton led 28-0 at halftime, then scored again on Ryan Camire’s 83-yard kickoff return to start the third quarter.
The Trojans also scored on Brennan Tabor’s 2-yard run midway through the first quarter to cap an 88-yard drive in seven plays, Wyatt Benoit’s 38-yard run in the second quarter, and Mauricio Sunderland’s 2-yard run with 3:21 left in the half.
