From there, Wells found Neece on a 25-yard pass into the end zone, followed by a QB keeper for a 2-point conversion — and a 14-8 lead just 48 seconds into the quarter. On its next possession, Lowell put together a 7-play drive to tie things up at 14-14 after being denied a conversion attempt. After forcing the Devils to go four-and-out, the Sailors took over deep in their own ter- ritory. On its first play of the possession, Mapleton pulled a role reversal in the pocket, with Neece backtracking his way behind the offensive line and Wells running long. Neece connected with Wells on an 18- yard bullet, which Wells car- ried another 56 yards for a Sailors touchdown. The conversion failed but Mapleton re-took the lead, 20- 14, with 5:51 remaining in the half.
