Staples Survives McMahon's Upset Bid WESTPORT, Conn. Staples High's 24-21 football victory Brien McMahon on Saturday night in Norwalk was not just about Robby Wolf's game-winning field goal in the final seconds, the brilliant play of quarterback Jack Massie or the juggling touchdown catch by James Frusciante that turned the tide in the Wreckers' favor. The victory in the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference game was as much as about pride, history and tradition. The Wreckers rallied from a 21-7 deficit with 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter before turning back the Senators on Wolf's 19-yard field goal…

We played toe-to-toe with the No. 6 team in the state, Albano said after Staples defeated the Senators, 24-21, on Robby Wolfs 19-yard field goal with four seconds left. Were right there.

Weston Pays for Turnovers in Loss to Newtown WESTON, Conn. The number 7 will bother Weston High football coach Joe Lato until the next game. The Trojans lost Saturday to Newtown, 41-7. Seven is also the number of Trojan turnovers in the loss. We talk about turnovers all the time and how we have to win that statistic, said a frustrated Lato. We were plus-5 in our first two games. You cant win with that many turnovers. Despite three turnovers, Weston (2-1) trailed 14-7 after Justin Schaffer raced 65 yards with a pass from Tyler Hassett for a touchdown with three minutes to play in the first half. The Trojans J.D. Simons recover…
