On Saturday, December 13th (12.13.14) Darien (12-0) will take on rival New Canaan (10-1) in the Class L Large Championship Game. West Haven High School’s Strong Stadium will be flooded with fans and press for this game. This game is without a doubt the most anticipated game of the day, and debatably the most of the year. This game between two elite teams will be the game to watch Saturday morning. It was top 10 most exciting games in the nation on Thanksgiving according to Maxpreps. The only loss between the two teams was suffered on Thanksgiving Day, in an 27-21, overtime victory by Darien over New Canaan.
Darien came to play last Saturday as they gave Naugatuck a 42-12 beating in the Semi-Final playoff game while rival New Canaan came out strong in the beginning, but like the turkey bowl, lost it towards the end of the game. Lucky for them they were still able to pull off the victory against a very good Wethersfield team 27-14.
Will New Canaan avenge the Thanksgiving loss for the second straight year? Last year New Canaan came out hot against Darien on Turkey Day but ended up losing. In the State Championship however, they did not look back beating Darien 44-12. Will history repeat itself?
“Certainly not a game to miss”, said senior running back Pete Archey. “Last year we did the same thing in the turkey bowl to them and shocked everyone in the stadium. Then unfortunately they beat us in the State ship, but we are well prepared for tomorrow and are definitely not ready to let them come out and stomp all over us. It’ll be a tight game, and were ready to do whatever it takes to beat those guys.”
Darien is the favorite to win this one, so show your support and be there.
