Fairfield Giants Win State Championship

The 2014 State Championship is only the 4th state football title in the last 40+ years, and the 1st one since 2009 for Fairfield Giants Youth Football Program.

Giants State Titles 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2014!

The Giants “F Train” rolled into Southbury on Sunday, ready to take on the New Fairfield Falcons. After winning the coin toss and electing to receive, Kyle Stevenson returned the opening kick-off back to the Falcons 40 yard line, setting the tone for the day.

Four plays later, QB Nick Morris busted free with an impressive 20 yard run and in for the score (PAT missed). On the Giants 2nd possession, Morris hit Stevenson on a 25 yard TD strike (PAT missed), making the score 12-0 at the end of Q1. The score remained the same at half as things settled in for both teams.

Fairfield would punch in another score to start Q3, as Morris took a QB keeper off tackle and in for the score. Tommy O’Connell would get the PAT, making the score 19-0. The Giants threatened again in Q4, but were stuffed deep in the red zone on two separate attempts.
The stonewall defense led by MLB Charlie Wilcox allowed only 2 first downs all day to the NF Falcons. NF had no answers to the swarming maroon-black-and white! Today’s shutout marks the 3rd consecutive playoff victory without allowing a point to their opponents. D-lineman Peter Strang, Freddy Capossela, Dylan Fragomeni, and Grady Barlett plugged any and all NF running lanes all day long!

Outstanding blocking allowed the Giants RB’s to run free all game. Standouts were Griffin Harding, Robert D’Elia, Max Spies, Declan O’Hara, Luke Martucci, and Grady Golier.
