Wilton Scores and Standings, Nov. 10

Boasting the league’s best passing attack, No. 7 seed Westport visited undefeated Wilton White in fourth-grade football playoff action Wednesday night at Middlebrook School field.

Playing the old-fashioned way in the mud, the Warriors put on a dominant display of hard-nosed, power football en route to a 22-0 demolition of the Wreckers.

True to form, the Wreckers took to the air on the game’s first play with a perfect spiral to the right flat, but defensive back Matt LaManna read the play perfectly, swatting the ball away and setting the tone for the game.

Following a punt, the Warriors went to work from their own 36. Wilton’s talented offensive line of Erik Lebek, Dean Griffin, Eric Zhang, Stephen Kendra, D.J. DiCostanzo, Trent Hollings and Cooper Heinemann immediately took over the game, opening a hole for Drew Phillips to convert on 4th-and-5.

Three plays later, Phillips sprinted around left end 20 yards for the game’s first score. Phillips also added the two-point conversion.

Wilton’s defensive linemen Patrick Coulter, Nick Sheehan, Oliver Shulman, Tate Falta, Jack Santomero, Hollings and Heinemann were equally dominant. Throughout the game, the linemen made numerous tackles in the backfield and forced two fumbles, one recovered by Phillips and the other by Coulter.

After Wilton regained possession at Westport's 34,  Phillips' 29-yard run set up Austin Anderson's 5-yard TD.

On the two-point conversion, Ryan Healey pitched to Phillips, who lofted a perfect pass back to Healey, open in the left side of the end zone. The play gave Wilton a 16-0 lead early in the second quarter.

On the ensuining possession, Wilton recovered another fumble at Westport's 15. Three players later, Healy hit Phillips for a 3-yard TD pass, giving Wilton a 22-0 lead midway through the second period.

Wilton played ball control in the second half with running backs LaManna, Cole Stephenson and Ben Leung pounding the ball into the Westport line.

On defense, linebackers Andersen, Phillips, Stephenson and Leung preserved the shutout with help in the secondary from Dominick Caratazzolo, LaManna and Niko Kouvaris.

The game ended in fitting fashion with Kouvaris recording his third interception of the season.

The Warriors take on third-seeded New Canaan Red (7-1-1) in the semifinals on Sunday at 3 p.m. at Fujitani Field.

The 10th-seeded Wilton girls soccer team (9-4-5) hosts No. 23 New Fairfield in the first round of the CIAC Class L state tournament on Thursday (7-8-1) at 2 p.m.

If Wilton advances, it will play at No. 7 seed Berlin in the second round on Saturday (2 p.m.). The Redcoats received a bye in the first round.

Wilton certainly will looking to equal last season's team which reached the quarterfinals as a No. 23 seed.

The Wilton boys' soccer squad (10-6-2) is seeded 16th and hosts No. 17 New London in a Class L first round contest on Friday (2 p.m.)

If the Warriors advance, they will play at top Wethersfield in the second round on Monday (2 p.m.). Wilton matched the success of the girls last season by reaching the final eight.

The Wilton field hockey team (16-3-0-0) which lost to Staples 2-1 in the FCIAC championship on Saturday, is seeded fourth in Class M and entertains No 13 Suffield on Thursday in the first round (4 p.m.)

If Wilton advances, it will take on either No. 5 New Fairfield or No. 12 Fitch in the quarterfinals on Monday. A potential showdown against top seed Darien is looming in the quarterfinals.
