For the second time this week, 27 points proved just to be just enough for the Rams to advance, this time upsetting the top-seeded Windsor Warriors, 27-24, thanks to senior Collin Shapiro’s game-winning field goal with just 4 seconds remaining. The Rams, down 24-7 in the second quarter, overcame an uncharacteristic five turnovers and scored 20 unanswered points en route to a dramatic comeback victory at East Haven High School, last Saturday December 3rd. The win gives the Rams a spot in the CIAC Class L Championship game next Saturday, December 10th, against second-seeded Daniel Hand at UConn’s Rentschler Field.

After 35 unanswered points in the second and third quarters, the Rams knocked Darien out of State playoff contention and earned a berth as the fifth seed in the Class L playoffs with a dominating 42-21 performance.
