Went to check-out some football at Nolan Field before I began my Labor Day festivities.
By the time I had arrived, West Haven was up 12-0 on the Chargers. West Haven intercepted a Chudwick pass and started their drive at the Ansonia 6 yard line, punching-it-in for their second...and last TD of the contest.
On a third-and-long, Ansonia scored their first TD on a WR screen from Chudwick to Newsome. Newsome took the 40 yards down the Ansonia sideline for the score. Then Dobbs began to do some work. He rushed for roughly 200 yards.
Dobbs scored on a 4 yard rush to tie the score at 12. He had 50-60 yards rushing on the drive alone. Chudwick then connected with Matos on a 50-yard pass to put Ansonia up 20-12 after the 2pt conversion.
West Haven kept struggling to get anything going on offense.
Ansonia had possession, once again, and drove down the field on several runs by Dobbs. Dobbs then scored on a 3-yard run to put Ansonia up 28-12. On the ensuing possession, Dobbs took the hand-off and was in the end zone 81 yards later. He broke 4 tackles and almost ran over the West Haven coaching staff on his way to the end zone.
The final was 34-12.
We all know West Haven isn't the ND-WH team Ansonia saw last week. However, Ansonia did seem to put it together today, from what I witnessed.
The Ansonia defense looked a lot better this afternoon. They were hitting very hard all morning and the offense looked like it had developed some much-needed confidence.
I need a report from that Derby/Torrington scrimmage. Let's hear it, boys.
If anyone is interested in viewing some pictures of the scrimmage, you may take a look here:
