Tigers Defeat Hamden 42-7 [VIDEO]
The Daniel Hand Football Team won its final home game of the season against Hamden in convincing fashion and remains undefeated at 9-0.
The Hamden Green Dragons received the opening kickoff and fumbled the ball back to Hand on the first play from scrimmage. Hand wasted no time in capitalizing on that mistake when Henry Foye tossed a 20 yard pass to Kyle Anderson for the first score of the game.
Hand forced Hamden to punt on the next possession and a great runback by Matt Sullivan put the Tigers in great field position. Foye then found Nick Vitale for a 13 yard scoring pass.
On the next possession Senior linebacker Jason Cianfaglione picked off a Hamden pass and returned the interception 40 yards for a "pick six."
