Fairfield Giants Mighty Mites Bash Bridgeport

FAIRFIELD, Conn. – The Fairfield Giants defeated the Bridgeport Raiders, 30-6, in a Mighty Mite Junior Division game in the Southern Connecticut Pop Warner Football League.

The Giants improved to 2-0 as quarterback Nick Morris, running back Finn Donelan, fullback Calvin Caione and running back Michael Innaimo scored twice. Paving the way for the Giants runners were lineman T.J. O'Connell, Maximillian Griffin, Maximillian Spies, Peter Strang, Brendan Dunleavy, Gavin Toth and Charles Wilcox.

The defense stopped the Bridgeport offense most of the day, except on a broken play where a running back went all the way for a long touchdown.

The Fairfield Giants Junior Pee Wee1 team beat Newington to even its record for the year to 1-1.

It was a day filled with emotions as Fairfield paid tribute to the heroes of 9/11. Members of the Fairfield Fire and Police Departments joined the four Giants captains in the center of the field for the coin toss.

The Giants then did their part and capped off the day with a victory. Led by the line of P.J. Egan, T.J. Walton, Ethan Gilmore, Nick Loris, Chase Reynolds, Justin Hathaway and Eric Pierpont, the Giants moved down the field and scored in the first quarter when Finn Duran broke through the middle and after a great cut back burst into the end zone for the first score. Duran would add another score in the third quarter.

Later in the third quarter, quarterback Owen Cirilli drove over two Newington players on a 5-yard scamper to complete the scoring. Fairfield's defense allowed only 44 yards and stopped Newington at key moments. The Giants meet New Haven on Sunday.
