Wave Ball Defense dominates Wilton on Halloween

By Britton Barthold
The Blue Wave Football team rolled into Wilton on Halloween night in a game that gave the Wave a big push in the FCIAC race. The Wave soundly defeated Wilton by a score of 41-0, highlighted by big offensive plays and shutdown defense.
            Dariens junior quarterback Tim Graham played his best game of the season, completing 82% of his passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. The run game had a major role in the scoring for the offense, as junior Shelby Grant and seniors Pete Archey and George Reed all had rushing touchdowns. Senior captain Griffin Ross led the way for all receivers, hauling in eight catches for 76 yards. The two touchdown receptions came from junior Hudson Hamill and senior captain Tim Lochtefeld.
            Senior defensive tackle Jack Tyrrell led the team in total tackles with nine, while junior Mark Evanchick led the team with three sacks. The defense limited the Wilton passing attack to 46 yards while also only allowing 2.1 yards a carry to the Wreckers.

            With the win, Darien just needs to beat Harding this coming weekend to go undefeated in FCIAC play. However, they also need Brien McMahon to lose to either Ridgefield or St. Joes to play for the FCIAC Championship.
