Back to Back: New Canaan Youth Football’s 4th Grade Repeats as FCFL Co-Champs
|
If the success of New Canaan’s youth football program is a harbinger of things to come, longtime NCHS head coach Lou Marinelli might want to coach for another 35 years. For the second consecutive year the NCYF 4th Grade Black and Red football teams won the FCFL Co-Championship, as both teams defeated their counterparts from Wilton in the division semifinals this past weekend thereby clinching the shared title for New Canaan. New Canaan 4th Grade Red 14 – Wilton White – 0
Wilton White opened the game with a deep drive into NC 4 Red territory, but 4 Red’s stout defense would show its teeth. The ‘Fearsome Foursome’ of Miles Chisolm, Michael Fico, Keegan Noon and Jake Somma ignited the defense, with Somma slashing through the Wilton line to make a key tackle for a loss. Soon after, Alex Benevento flew up from safety, slamming a Wilton runner on 4th and short for a turnover on downs.
