Mapeton freshman wide reciever JJ Neece strong-arms his
way past Lowell for a first down Friday night.
The Sailors went into last Friday’s league
play-off game at home against Lowell hoping
to secure a seed to state for the first time since
2002. And early in the first half, it looked as
though Mapleton had the momentum to make
it happen.
Though the Red Devils were the first to
score with a little over 3 minutes remaining in
the first quarter, the Sailors were able to strike

back a little over a minute later on a 38-yard
bomb from senior quarterback Dominic Wells
to freshman wide receiver JJ Neece. While the
conversion was denied, it put Mapleton with-
in an easy 2-point striking distance of Lowell,
8-6.
Then, on the ensuing kick-off, an onside
kick by Mapleton ended up in the hands of
Wells, who recovered the ball on Lowell’s 46-
yard line to end the quarter. Finding them-
selves with 7 yards to go on the third down,
Mapleton was able to advance to the 25-yard
