The first time the Winnacunnet and Goffstown high school football teams met this season, it took the Warriors 47 minutes and 48 seconds to find the end zone.

When the teams met a second time, Winnacunnet made sure it wasn’t going to be put in the same position again.

After forcing Goffstown to three-and-out, the Warriors went on a 10-play, 66-yard drive that took up almost five minutes of the first quarter and ended with a 1-yard touchdown run by Patrick MacDougall. Winnacunnet was able to hold that lead the rest of the way in a 21-6 win in Saturday’s Division I semifinals, and the No. 1 Warriors (11-0) will face No. 3 Pinketon (10-1) for the championship.
