Football Repeats as FAA Champs, Extends Unbeaten Streak to 18!

        Coach Joe Linta's varsity football team continued its historic undefeated run with a 49-30 victory in West Hartford against Kingswood-Oxford School on Saturday. With the win, the Hornets laid claim to a third straight FAA title and extended their unbeaten run to 18 games!
        Last week, the Hornet offense was a bit erratic in their narrow win over King; however, the juggernaut definitely got back on track Saturday, as they scored twice in the first quarter, three more TDs in the second, and two more in the third before the host Wyverns got on the scoreboard. Quarterback Nick Bailey led the awesome attack, completing 12-of-15 passes for 360 yards including five touchdown passes. David Spitz caught TDs of 42 and 87 yards, while Tre Breland caught scores of 25 and 26 yards, the second one delivered by Chris Wright. Andrew Rice and Jordan Benoit both snagged TD passes of 40 yards, and Michael Johnson also went on a 45 yard run for a score. 
        The Wyverns scored most of their points in the fourth quarter, long after the starters had been pulled; but when they had been on the field, the defense was absolutely relentless in smothering K-O's offense. Unsurprisingly, A.J. Repollet was again a defensive standout with four sacks and nine tackles. James Sansone and Bill Porto each added a sack and six tackles as well.
The Hornets will attempt to keep their streak alive when they play Albany Academy for the first time on Friday at home at 7:00.
