8 Red Team Blanks Ridgefield 2-0

—submitted by Roxanne Mitchell

The Rams youth 8 Red team showed up on Saturday looking for their second win of the season. New Canaan 8 red defeated Ridgefield 8 red for a final score of 2-0. Rams first goal would come from the Rams midfielders swarming the tigers to create a turnover. Faith Hibbert, Carolyn Baron and Ellie Hanson aggressively moved the ball upfield to Molly Mitchell who shot the ball to Grace Flatow who tipped the shot beautifully past the Ridgefield goalkeeper.

Police after midnight Saturday arrested a 23-year-old Stamford man on a drug charge after finding packaged cocaine in his car.
