Granby Sports Bloggers Name Granby Football Team 'Athletes of the Week'

Written by Jake King and Joey Noyes:

Instead of giving Connor Field Athlete of the week once again, the Granby Football team is this week’s team of the week. The Bears are on a 3-game winning streak after they defeated Coventry on Saturday (10/11/14) afternoon at 3 pm. The Den was packed for this homecoming matchup and the boys were hyped. QB Dom Pagano became the first Granby QB to win 3 of his first 5 starts, and it is only Pagano’s first year as a QB. With the new offense put in place by Gadoury the Bears look like they can be a strong contender in their conference.

They have rallied off 3 wins in a row while racking up a combined 148 points in those 3 contests. Pagano has thrown for 3 TDs this season and has rushed for 6, Connor Field has rushed for 1152 yards in 5 games and has 12 rushing TDs. Connor has quickly emerged onto the scene becoming one of the top players in the entire state. When the bears are in need of a short run or big defensive play, Logan Strain fills the void. He has a couple of TDs on the year and has recorded many clutch tackles for the bears defense.

Gadoury and his Bears take on Nonnewaug (1-4) this Saturday and look to achieve their 4th consecutive win. The Bears need to keep their winning streak alive so they can win their conference and keep their state tournament hopes alive.
