The New Canaan High School football team, which finished the season 13-0 and with its first undefeated record in coach Lou Marinelli’s 28 years at the school on Saturday, got one last honor today: the No. 1 ranking in both the state writers’ and coaches polls.
It is the first time a Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference school has finished in the top spot in 16 years.
“It’s a tremendous honor and a tribute to the hard work of the kids,” Marinelli said today.
New Canaan won its third straight Class MM title on Saturday with a 26-7 win over Darien. The Rams had defeated their arch-rivals nine days earlier for the FCIAC championship.
Hi Dave – enjoy your articles/blogs.
Lots about football now – it’s December – it’s basketball season now. Girls and boys. Since your paper is THE PREMIERE paper for the FCIAC and one that many of us up and down county look to for news, scoop, predictions, standings, etc., I for one would welcome a step back from the football field and onto the basketball court. JMHO
Peace
