The 2-0 Dragons are scheduled to visit Lewiston Friday night. Brunswick led 14-0, 21-8 and 27-14 at the quarter breaks.
Lucas McCue ran five times for 45 yards and caught three passes for 42 yards, while Alex Bandouveres had eight rushes for 16 yards.
Quarterback Jason Carter was 4-of-6 for 56 yards and chipped in with a 1-yard rushing TD in the first quarter.
Offensively, linemen Nolan Robbins, Brett Lancaster, Logan Tupper and Jacob Duffy all played well, while defensively, Stephen Faith, Jensen, Ryan Maciejewski and Duffy stood out and Jensen had an interception.
“The story of the game was our defense limiting the big plays and getting a few fourth-down stops,” said Brunswick coach Dan Cooper. “Add in two Skowhegan turnovers and we put together a solid defensive outing. Offensively, Jensen was just too much for the Indians to handle. Our strongside blocking was fantastic. Whenever we ran there we did well.”
