For Morgan, James Nye was 19-for-39 passing for 364 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for a touchdown and had an interception.
“It was a heck of a game,” SSEW coach Brian Mazzone said. “Julian Rivas was a star and took over for us in the second half. We battled injuries and cramping.
“But Morgan, they were the show. James Nye was a stud. (Morgan coach Peter Nye) does a great job with them. I’m coaching my boys in flag football. I need to do a lot of work to catch up to him.”

Holy Cross should be ASHAMED of them self for running up 58-0 on Crosby. Crosby never did that to Holy Cross and in Basketball Nick and Eddie all way’s showed each other respect! The coaches should all make a Novena.
The thing is for whatever reason this year Holy Cross is very confident and people are hyping them up to be a great team.
Even heard some of the players said that they’re going to beat Ansonia 58-0.
They haven’t had a competitive game against them in years.
They’re best player last year (is now graduated) made a couple of plays against them and i guess they’re confident, but in two years as a starter they never got to play against Dobbs and regardless of Dobbs Injures the year before and last year they got blown out.
Ansonia will take the high road, but I’m sure they’re going to blowout Holy Cross who appears to be feeling themselves a little too much to compare Crosby to Ansonia.
Talked to Dobb’s before the Shelton game 2 week’s ago and he said that word was that some of the player’s from HC were talking smack. Why would you do that? Why get coach Brockett angry. Let’s see i was at the woodland game when coach Brockett ran up 48 in the first half and on side kicked the ball with 12 second’s left in the half because woodland ran the score up at the end of the game the year before. Also let’s not forget how a couple year’s back Torrington was undefeated and they talked smack and 3000 people watched the Ansonia bus pull up at 6:55 , 5 minute’s before game time and the score was 31 to nothing at the end of the first quarter. YEA let’s talk smack about that team real smart! May the lord be with them.
