DARIEN — Lou Marinelli was a man enjoying the moment.
His New Canaan football team had just won its third consecutive Turkey Bowl, secured a home game in the state tournament, and had beaten rival Darien on their home turf.
“It doesn’t get any more perfect than that,” Marinelli said with a smile.
The Rams delivered a dominating performance, scoring twice in the first quarter and shutting out the previously-unbeaten Blue Wave 20-0 for a Turkey Bowl three-peat on Thanksgiving morning at Darien High School.
