Sixth Grade Football: Wilton White 19 - Darien White 0

Sixth grade Wilton White rolled to its third consecutive victory to start the FCL season with a 19-0 whitewashing of Darien White on Saturday at Fujitani Field in Wilton.

. On Wilton’s second possession, the talented Warrior offensive line of Neil Satsangi, Jack Carroll, Davis Cote, Matt Gulbin, Brian Cipri and Will Jarvie took control of the line of scrimmage, opening holes for Sean Sullivan and Trevor Martines. With Evan Kauh in at guard, Sullivan took a handoff, and running between Kauh and Gulbin blew through the line on his way to a 47 yard TD scamper and a 6-0 lead. The point after failed.

Darien had no luck moving the ball as the defensive line of Everett Andersen, Gulbin, Christian Theoharides, Connor Healey, Henry Sell and Jimmy McKiernan swarmed to the ball and every play saw three or four Wilton defenders making the tackle.

After a punt by Darien on their next possession to the Wilton 49, the Warriors took to the air. Andersen’s perfect spiral down the middle was snagged by McKiernan who was tripped up at the 8 after a 43 yard gain. Three plays later Martines bulled over from the 3 for a 12-0 lead.

Darien’s next possession was another three and out with a punt to the Wilton 45. With Ryan van Heyst now under center the Warriors wasted no time. Chase Autore and Luke O’Neill carried the ball on consecutive plays to the Blue Wave 42 where Quinn Wiseman took van Heyst’s handoff and blazed to the end zone for the third Warrior TD early in the second quarter. Van Heyst’s kick was good to make the score 19-0.

The defense locked down Darien the rest of the way highlighted by fumble recoveries by McKiernan and Martines, multiple tackles for loss by Theoharides, Martines, Gulbin and Jarvie, great pass defense by Cote and a touchdown saving tackle by Jack Carroll late in the fourth quarter.

On offense the Warriors controlled the clock with hard running by Alex Smith, Connor Healey and Luke O’Neill.
