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.

The story of the day was not the missing Darien players that may have changed the outcome of the game, but the complete team effort by Rams that overwhelmed both the Blue Wave defense and offense. 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.
