WINSLOW — Winslow High School head football coach Mike Siviski forwarded the DVD until he found the play he wanted to see. There, on the television in Siviski’s office, Dirigo’s Spencer Trenoweth ran past the Oak Hill defense for a 70-yard touchdown. Siviski forwarded the film again, this time to Trenoweth’s 51-yard touchdown run late in the game.
