SOUTH BERWICK — Max Horton drilled a 23-yard field goal with 1:19 to play as No. 1 Marshwood edged No. 3 Falmouth 31-28 in Saturday’s Class B South final on Saturday afternoon.
The win wasn’t secured until Horton recovered a Jack Bryant fumble after Bryant was sacked from behind by Drew Gregor at the Marshwood 10.
Bryant had completed three straight passes to get his team in scoring position.
Marshwood (11-0) will face Skowhegan (7-3) in Saturday’s state championship game at Fitzpatrick Stadium in Portland.
