WESTPORT — A couple of early-season losses and a host of injuries have conspired to put the New Canaan football team’s season on thin ice.
So, while facing a stiff challenge from Staples and its quarterback Jake Thaw, the Rams knew they had to answer the bell.
Led by another stellar effort from junior running back John Wise, and a shutdown performance by the defense, New Canaan blanked the Wreckers in the second half en route to a 41-21 victory Friday in Westport.
