Shelton Football Stops Amity, 28-17

After spotting Amity an early lead Friday, the Shelton football team defeated the Spartans 28-17 to improve to 5-2 and rebound from last week's 35-0 loss to top-ranked Xavier.

Frank Camerino rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns - both in the first half - for Shelton, which fell behind 7-0 when Amity's Tyler Vallie tossed a 10-yard TD pass to Cole German.

But Camerino reached the end zone of runs of 6 and 9 yards, sandwiched around Eddie Groth's 68-yard touchdown strike to Kyle Drost, as the Gaels took a 21-10 lead at the half.

Shelton extended its lead on Eddie Kochiss' 60-yard interception return for a touchdown before Amity (2-5) completed the scoring on Vallie's 5-yard TD run.

Next week, Shelton will host Fairfield Prep, which also improved to 5-2 with a 28-14 victory over Hamden on Friday.
