RIDGEFIELD — Even though it trailed by seven, the Wilton football team was able to enter halftime believing that its 22-game winless streak against arch-rival Ridgefield might come to an end Friday night.
The Warriors had controlled the first half, moving the ball at will and holding No. 7 Ridgefield to 11 plays on offense. Wilton, not the Tigers, was its own worst enemy: the Warriors failed to convert time-consuming drives by misfiring on a fourth-down pass, missing a field goal, and throwing an interception at the Ridgefield 5-yard line.
