Darien pulled out another crushing defeat against Bridgeport Central on Saturday November 11th. The final score of the game was 49-0 with 42 of the Blue Wave’s points coming in the first half. The game was originally scheduled to be played at night but due to the fact that the lights in the stadium were not working the game was rescheduled for 10:30 AM, a preview for the Turkey Bowl. 

The game was a defensive slaughter fest, as the Darien defense came up with another shutout. Senior defensive tackle, Charlie Zuro, said ¨We did not overlook them, which allowed us to predict the play pre snap (before the play started) and fill up the holes.” The Wave D was suffocating all day long coming up with a big fumble recovery for a touchdown early in the game that set the tone for a blowout.

Jack Joyce finished with 4 touchdowns, 2 of them were caught for touchdowns by Max Grant in his first game back from injury. Good luck to the Blue Wave team in the rest of their season.
