New Canaan Football Named to MaxPreps Tour of Champions

By Terry Dinan

NEW CANAAN – The 2013 FCIAC and State Champion New Canaan Rams football team added yet another title, as they were named to the 9th Annual MaxPreps Football Tour of Champions. The honor is an exclusive one, as only 50 teams were invited to the Tour out of almost 17,000 participants throughout the country. In order to qualify, teams had to be both nationally ranked and state champions. New Canaan’s 44-12 win over Darien in the Class L title game gave the Rams a measure of payback against the only team to have defeated them this season. It also re-affirmed the 2013 squad’s status as the most-dominant team in the state, and perhaps in school history.
