Darien Faces Staples for a Chance at the FCIAC Ship

Following a relatively easy schedule, the Darien football team will face its' fist major challenge this year against Staples this coming Saturday. The game holds major implications, as the winner will be given the opportunity to play for the FCIAC Championship against New Canaan most likely. Along with this, the Football seniors will be celebrated pregame in what may be the last home game of the season for the Blue Wave. The Blue Wave are currently 7-0, and have also unofficially qualified for the Class LL State tournament. The biggest occurrence that may happen on Saturday though is Mark Evanchick breaking the State sack record, as he is one sack away from breaking Dwight Freeney's record.

The game is at 1 pm at DHS.
