TURNER — The Leaviit Area High School offense can do a little bit of everything, and on Saturday night in front of a large Homecoming crowd, the Hornets did a lot of everything.

The Hornets starting offense scored on seven of eight possessions, dominating Waterville on its way to a 52-6 Pine Tree Conference Class B win.

Leavitt is now 5-0, setting up a showdown with Mt. Blue, also 5-0, Friday in Farmington. Waterville drops to 3-2.

Leavitt scored on its first four possessions of the game, and the only time the Hornets had the ball in the first half and did not score was when they recovered a Waterville fumble with 1.9 seconds left in the first half, and took a knee.

“I’m really disappointed,” Waterville coach Frank Knight said. “I thought we would put up a better fight.”

Ian Durgin started Leavitt’s scoring spree with a 25-yard touchdown run with 7:16 left in the first quarter. Jake Ouellette added touchdown runs of 5 and 10 yards in the first quarter for a 22-0 lead.

Ouellette scored again with 4:33 left in the first half, again on a 5-yard run, and quarterback Jordan Hersom ran in the 2-point conversion for a 30-0 lead at the break.

“We’re trying to be as balanced as we can,” Leavitt coach Mike Hathaway said. “I just like the way our offensive and defensive lines are playing.”

Even when things went wrong for the Hornets, they went right. The second quarter scoring drive was extended when Durgin caught a tipped ball at the Watervile 5. Ouellette scored on the next play.

Hersom (nine carries, 154 yards) scored on runs of 68 and 30 yards in the third quarter, and Brian Bedard’s 7-yard run capped the Hornets scoring.

J.T. Whitten led Waterville with 118 yards on 24 carries, and scored on a 1-yard run with 9:12 to play in the game.

“They unloaded on us and we weren’t ready,” Knight said.
