Last season, with the FCIAC Football Blog, I thought I was going to be in the right-place, right-time to witness then end of Bassick's epic state-record losing streak. Alas, Fairfield Ludlowe pulled together in the second half and took home a 14-6 win.
I didn't go to Weston yesterday with any expectations. If anything, it was a 4 p.m. game, and was great for shooting (photos will be up soon). When Nick Figliola returned an interception 68-yards for a touchdown, I started sensing history. When the extra-point snap was bobbled by Figliola, and the team put the ball on the ground twice in the first half, I was thinking it was just another SWC game.
But Dylan Hannum had a career day - one that can turn you from just another player into a legend. Four second-half touchdowns on runs of 37, 70, 77, and 19 yards. And the defense made up for the first half turnovers. Figliola and Bryan Turkel had interceptions, and Josh Bombart, Tom McGee, and Ben O'Brien recovered fumbles.
Congratulations to the Trojans, now listen to what the coach, Joe Lato, had to say after the game. The Hour's Tom Evans and The Weston Forum's Rocco Valluzzo also participate.
