The Wilton fifth grade Blue team defeated Darien 21-14 on Saturday in action in the Fairfield County Football League to improve to 5-1.

On the first play of the game, Tyler Previte delivered Darien a wakeup call by running straight up the middle for an 80 yard-TD. On the ensuing possession, Wilton's Dean DiNanno delivered a hard hit on a Darien ballcarrier that helped set the tone for the game.

As the first half continued, Wilton’s offense thrived with Kyle Phillips providing a 40-yard run, followed by center Jack Ferguson leading him into the end zone on a quarterback sneak.  Billy Ronk added a 2-point conversion and Wilton got another score on Previte's second TD run later in the first half. Andrew Luciano converted the extra point.

Matt Graham and Jonny Wu recorded sacks in the first half for Wilton, which kept Darien scoreless. Ethan Masek also caused a fumble, which was recovered by Nicholas Koenigsberger.

Late in the third quarter, Darien scored its first TD, but a big tackle from Joey Seaman resulted in a failed conversion attempt.

Late in the fourth period, Darien tried to mount a comeback after another TD, but DiNanno sealed the victory with an interception at the 20-yard line.
