GREENWICH — Greenwich’s offense couldn’t be stopped and its defense barely budged during the first half of Saturday’s football game against Trinity Catholic.
And that, of course, made it a long first half for the Crusaders.
Scoring on six of its seven opening-half possessions, while shutting down the opposition’s offense, Greenwich coasted to a resounding 56-0 victory over Trinity Catholic in an FCIAC game held at Cardinal Stadium.

STAMFORD—Coming into the game, the Westhill football team knew the Norwalk offense could beat them in a variety of ways.
Turns out, the scouting reports were spot on as Norwalk scored on the ground, through the air and on special teams, dismantling Westhill 48-21 at J. Walter Kennedy Stadium Saturday afternoon.
“We thought we could exploit some things with (Westhill) and we did,” Norwalk coach Sean Ireland said. “I was happy because, teams in the past, if we fumble on the second play and they go in and score a lot of times we duck our heads but there was nobody pointing fingers and everybody stayed positive. Great team effort.”

TRUMBULL — The gamble paid off.
Going for it on fourth and one just a minute into the game, Trumbull coach Marce Petroccio told his quarterback, Colton Nicholas to do what he does best, push the ball forward.
And so, he did.
It might have been just a two-yard gain, but it was more than enough to get the Eagles the momentum they needed. The end result was a touchdown, the first of many as Trumbull scored early, and often, rolling past Ludlowe 46-7 Friday night at McDougall Stadium.
