This past Saturday, the Blue Wave faced off against the New Canaan Rams in West Haven for the CIAC Class L- Large Championship. This match-up is not an unfamiliar one, the Blue Wave plays New Canaan every year for the Turkey Bowl, and this year for the FCIAC and State Championships as well. Darien beat New Canaan this past Thanksgiving for the FCIAC Championship in overtime 28-21. Going into the game this past Saturday, news outlets favored New Canaan. Varsity outside linebacker said Britton Barthold, “We didn’t really listen to the media about who was predicted to win this game, after all they had predicted that New Canaan would win the Turkey Bowl”. Among thousands of fans the Blue Wave destroyed New Canaan in the first half, 20-7. During the third and fourth quarter New Canaan made a comeback, finishing the game 21-20 New Canaan. Darien finished with an undefeated regular season, Turkey Bowl bragging rights, and the FCIAC title. We, at Neirad, congratulate everyone on the team for an amazing season and wish the recruited seniors the best of luck for their future seasons.
