My apologies to everyone who I've left in the dark, as I've tried to catch up after vacation, added physical therapy to my daily routine, and whatnot.
But the good news is: I've finally got photos from the Weston-New Milford game online. I'm sure the freshmen from that game have already graduated college and are working on their MBAs.
Anyway, click here to enter the gallery. The gallery is under High School Football 2007 (so is the Notre Dame-Bethel one). Check 'em out, show your friends, buy a ton of them, and so on...
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.
I only got to see New Milford run one drive at the Wilton Jamboree two weeks back. And I liked what I saw. Even though the team will be inexperienced this season, I think they will compete. Click here for Laura McCusker's preview.
