Sixth grade Football: Wilton White 28 – Fairfield Black 12

After a slow start plagued by turnovers, the Wilton Sixth Grade White football team jumped out to a three touchdown lead for the second consecutive week before cruising to a 28-12 victory over Fairfield Black on Saturday at Tetreau-Davis Field in Fairfield.

Wilton’s offensive line of Will Jarvie, Henry Sell, Matt Gulbin, Davis Cote, Neil Satsangi, Jack Carroll and Ryan Siegel took control from the outset. On the game’s second play, Sean Sullivan took a direct snap from Cote and raced all the way to the Fairfield 32. The drive would end in a fumble as would the next, but the Warrior defensive line of Everett Andersen, Matt Gulbin, Luke O’Neill, Connor Healey, Sell and Jimmy McKiernan were also dominant, completely shutting Fairfield down in the first half.

Early in the second quarter, the offense got untracked as Blake Pagano-Walley, Trevor Martines and Sullivan ate up chunks of yardage on the ground during a seven play, 68 yard drive culminating in Martines’ eight yard touchdown run. Ryan van Heyst then added the first of his four kicks for the extra point to put the Warriors up for good, 7-0.

Later, Sullivan scored on a seven yard run to make the score 14-0 at the half.

The Warrior defense stuffed Fairfield on 4th and 5 at their 35 early in the second half and on the next play, with the help of a great stiff arm, Pagano-Walley rumbled for a score and a 21-0 lead.

Fairfield narrowed the gap to 21-6 with a 66 yard return of a Wilton fumble.

The Warriors struck back immediately, this time through the air. Everett Andersen’s 19 yard completion to Chase Autore put the ball at the Fairfield one. Two plays later, Andersen rolled left and hit Pagano-Walley in the end zone for Wilton’s fourth touchdown and a 28-6 lead.

Fairfield managed to score on the last play of the game to make the final score 28-12.
