    H.S. roundup: Late TD gives Woodstock 30-29 victory over Waterford

    Woodstock — Ethan Davis threw a touchdown pass to Jackson Goetz with 1 minute, 6 seconds remaining, and Goetz converted the extra point to give Woodstock Academy a 30-29 victory over Waterford on Saturday in an Eastern Connecticut Conference Division II football game.

    Woodstock's late heroics spoiled a comeback by the Lancers (1-3, 1-2), who rallied from a 23-8 deficit in the second half to take a 29-23 lead when Justin Saad (20 carries, 90 yards) scored from three yards out with 2:35 to play.

    But Davis rallied the Centaurs (3-1, 2-0), converting a key 4th-and-5 pass to Parker Anderson at the Waterford 45 before hooking up with Goetz (6 catches, 121) yards for the game-winner three plays later.

    Quarterback Nathan Hynes had a big day for Waterford. He completed 12 of 28 passes for 133 yards, including 31-yard completion to Derek Rivera that set up Mason Concascia's 1-yard TD run that pulled the Lancers to within 23-15 in the third quarter. Hynes also rushed for 138 yards on 16 carries, including a 65-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter that pulled Waterford within a point, 23-22.
