On Saturday
(9/22), the Boys Varsity Football team opened up its home season with a dominant
performance over Fairfield Warde, landing the team its second straight victory.
The game was
single-sided almost the entire time and featured lots of Wave offense. Warde
struggled to record first downs against Darien’s defense, with most of its
points coming very late in the game.
Darien’s
first score was a 28-yard field goal by junior kicker Daly Hebert. Junior Nick
Lombardo followed up with a one-yard TD run, advancing the Darien lead to
10-0.
Senior
quarterback and co-captain Henry Baldwin had a phenomenal game, throwing
touchdown passes to sophomore Griffin Ross (28 yards), Lombardo (59, 62 yards),
and senior Jackson Whiting (68 yards).
Senior
Christian Bognar also scored a touchdown for the Wave on a 2.5 yard carry.
Game
highlights included a third quarter Warde onside kick, recovered by junior Matt
Coley.
The score at
the half was 30-7, and would have been higher had a 49 yard touchdown pass from
Baldwin to Lombardo not been reversed on a holding penalty.
The game
ended with an interception by senior Chris Hamernick.
Wave Football
is off to a very promising start, as per usual. The next football game is
Homecoming, and will be next Saturday (9/29) at DHS.
