Cormac Miller scored on the third play of the second half, breaking off tackle on a counter and running 63 yards untouched to make it 21-12.
“When they came at us power-wise, we stopped reading our keys,” Stoneton said.
Miller finished with 162 yards on nine carries, four of those counters. He scored twice, and Jason Maddox also scored on a 31-yard counter for Boothbay.
The Ramblers took a 6-0 lead early in the second quarter when Jared Hanson hit Dakota Carter a on a 4-yard slant.
