Wave Washes out Wilton

-By: Jack Bushell-

Darien football pulled its record to an even 2-2 with a win against the Wilton Warriors on Saturday. The Wave cruised to a 38-7 victory in Darien. The Warriors only touchdown came in the final quarter on a run right up the middle, which was not enough to combat the Waves' unstoppable running offense. Leading the way for the offense was senior captain Bobby Nolan who had two touchdowns. Supporting Nolan on the offense was senior George Benitez (pictured below) who had a solid game throwing and picking up first downs with his legs. Junior Graham Maybell added a running touchdown and stole the show with three interceptions. Supporting Maybell was Nolan with a pick of his own and junior Justin Shaw who returned an interception for a touchdown to put the Wave up 31-0 in the third quarter.

A scary moment occurred when Wilton senior cornerback Matt Baird, on the interception by Shaw, fell hard and would not move. There was a flag on the play which moved the Wave back 10 yards to start that drive. Post 53 took Baird to the hospital. No word on his status, our thoughts go to his family.

The Blue Wave will take on Trinity Catholic at 1:30pm next week for the school's Homecoming game at the DHS stadium.
