Wilton's Defense Falters In Loss To Ridgefield In Football WILTON, Conn. – Wilton High’s football team did not have any solution for stopping a high-flying Ridgefield team in Friday’s 49-14 loss to the Tigers. “They were running hard, and we weren’t tackling hard,’’ coach Bruce Cunningham said. “That’s a bad combination.” Ridgefield (3-1) moved 67 yards in just two plays on its first drive of the game, capped by a 22-yard pass from Ryan Dunn to Sam Gravitte. The Tigers went up 14-0 when Gravitte scored on a 3-yard run on their second drive. Wilton (2-2) scored its first touchdown on a 42-yard touchdown run by Mike Burns to get within 14-7 late in …
