Wave Football Begins with a Bang



By Jenn O’Neill

On Friday, September 14th, Blue Wave Football had their opening game against Fairfield Ludlowe and won 41-7. The team started off strong in the first quarter scoring 28 points, one of which was a kick return touchdown. Junior Nick Lombardo was responsible for three of those touchdowns and Junior Jay Harrison was responsible credited with one.

The most exciting part of the game was during the final quarter after Ludlowe had scored its first 7 points of the game. Darien High School’s response was a 91-yard kick return touchdown run by Senior Ian Vander Horn. Senior and player Kyle Blummer said, “Last year we graduated a lot of our starters and had to start from scratch. This year we have a lot more experience and leadership and it should be a great season.” Be sure to catch the next game against Fairfield Warde at the DHS Turf at 1:30pm on Saturday (9/22).
