WELLS — After cruising to a 7-0 record to start the season, the Wells football team fell in its season finale to visiting Cape Elizabeth this past Friday in a rainy affair.

Wells head coach Tim Roche was disappointed with the loss, however he and his squad already have their sights set on the postseason.

“Everyone is saying ‘see you in three weeks,’ but there’s still playoffs and this makes the road a little bit tougher. We have a good buddy of ours that’s a Navy Seal, and our quote of the year is, ‘easy is easy,’ and after the game I told the kids what does Mike say? ‘Easy is easy,’ it’s not going to be easy and that’s what we want,” said Roche.

“(Cape Elizabeth) played very well, I thought they played great … it’s what we thought,” said Roche. “I told them at half, ‘we’re going to win 14-13,’ and it didn’t come true, so we just need to play better next time we see them if it even comes down to that.”

The Warriors open up their postseason this Friday, playing host to No. 7 Yarmouth.

Wells topped Yarmouth earlier this season, however, the Clippers will hope to use last year’s Class C South final victory over the Warriors as motivation as they hit the road.

The Warriors enjoyed one of their most successful campaigns in school history this season, finishing at 7-1 and locking up the No. 2 seed in the playoffs.
