Could there have been a better storyline heading into Monday afternoon’s boys soccer game at Darien High School? 3-0 victories last Friday by both Darien and New Canaan set up a CIAC second round matchup between the two archrivals. Darien, the fifth seed in the state playoffs, played host to the 12th seeded Rams, a rematch of the October 10th regular season game where the two teams battled to a 1-1 draw.
With Thursday November 10th marking the start of CIAC playoff play for most teams, the Rams looked to get off on the right foot in the early rounds of the tournament. Each earning a home game, the volleyball and girls soccer teams fought for big first round wins to advance in their respective brackets.

Last Friday night the boy’s soccer team beat Norwalk 2-1 in the first round of the FCIAC tournament.
After a grueling first half, senior co-captain Tim Pritchard made a goal off of a free kick bent into right corner of the goal. “[Senior co-captain] John-Luke Ferrandino scored the second goal in the lower right corner with 5 to 6 minutes left on the clock and the bench went crazy,” said sophomore Jack O’Rourke.

The last thing senior Wesley Rhudy remembers before waking up in an ambulance is the face of a running back: “I was about to make the tackle and then out the blue…bam, I was out cold,” he said. “I woke up sometime later and my head was spinning.”
