On Saturday night, the Darien Blue
Wave Football team travelled up to Greenwich to face the birds under the
lights. The matchup was considered to be
one of the biggest games of the year in both the FCIAC and the state, the number
one and two seeds respectively. Darien
fell behind early in the game, but with the likes of Juniors Colin Minicus and Tim
Graham, the Blue Wave were able to pull ahead.
Graham threw Minicus a perfect pass, and Minicus was able to make a
spectacular catch for a thirty-five yard touchdown. The thunder and lightening duo, made up of
Senior Peter Archey and Junior Shelby Grant, scored a combined three touchdowns
on the night.
The Defense came together in the
second half; as Senior’s George Reed and Jack Tyrell were able to stuff Fordham
commit Austin Longi of Greenwich. To cap
off the win, Junior Tyler Grant ended all hopes of a comeback for Greenwich with
an interception late in the fourth
quarter. Tyrell said after the game, “It
was tough at first to stop him, he’s fast and agile, but the defense came
together, and destroyed his run game.”
Check out Darien’s next game, at the DHS stadium this Saturday, at
1:30pm.
