I thought Law deserved a little better than 42-0. But, as the game evolved, Fairfield Prep just scored, then scored again. After Law failed to respond on three more opportunities, Prep scored twice more before halftime and then put his game away in the third.
It wasn’t a complete destruction, but Prep’s defense was simply dominant against a team that will likely have a shot at reaching the Class M state playoffs.
Law was only down 7-0 in the second quarter, but gave up the ball on downs twice in Fairfield Prep territory, including once on fourth and 3 from the Prep 10 following this play on third-and-1 from the 8:
Then Milford resident Connor Kelly, who had already scored on this 16-yard run…
…scored from 25-yards out (on a play during which I just caught the tail-end)…
And then John Cunningham caught a pair of touchdown passes, including this grab with 35.1 seconds remaining in the first half.
Ahead 28-0 at halftime, the Jesuits were off and running.
QB Mike Autore scored on this short run for a 35-0 lead.
And, as everybody knows, we were already talking about the upcoming game: Shelton.
I’d absolutely LOVE to say more. But I’m saving it all during my podcast on Monday night and don’t want to ruin the surprise.
Until then, this is SPB
Peace.
Next week’s game is one of the biggest anticipated games in either school’s history. Last time Prep played at shelton high(2004), a huge brawl erupted at the end of the game. Few kids were hospitalized. Should be a very intense game, especially being televised on TV. I was at the Prep-Law game. Prep’s defense is suffocating and their student section is incredible, looking forward to seeing a good turnout from the “Bomb Squad”
SPB, whens the new podcast coming up on the website, I thought its supposed to come on Monday?
Prep and their players need to pipe down when was the last time they even competed in a big game they have been blown out every time the bright lights are on (west haven 6 yrs in a row and greenwich twice in the playoffs)Prep has a very good team with some great players but to talk smack please compete one time when its show time stay in a game that means something
