11/7: East Haven received the opening  kickoff, and returned it out near midfield, but had to punt the ball away when their drive sputtered. The two teams traded punts until the Indians earned some favorable field position, and then aided by a 15 yard roughing penalty moved the ball deep into Yellow Jacket territory. A couple of short runs were followed by QB Mike Friello's jaunt through the left side for 29 yard touchdown. Rob Carbone drilled the extra point to make the score 7-0. The ensuing kickoff was botched by East Haven and the Indians recovered it on the 23 yard line. A 5 yard defensive penalty and a couple of  short running play later were followed by Nick Melillo, who came around back and took a handoff, and ran around right end and in for a 13 yard TD. Carbone's kick was good and North Haven was up 14-0.
 

11/7: As the 2nd quarter started, Dan Sardilli made a big interception to give the ball back to the North Haven offense on East Haven's 39. Jelani Sancho had a nice run, then Friello fired a 20 yard pass into the end zone to Dan Oakes for a TD. Carbone's kick was good, so it was now 21-0. Later in the 2nd, Sancho had a 25 yard run to move the ball over the timeline, and then a couple plays later when it got to be 4th and 21 from the 28, Friello connected with Anthony Chiaia for 22 yards and a 1st down.

11/7: North Haven took the kickoff to open the third, and drove deep into East Haven's side of the field, but a long field goal attempt was blocked.  East Haven still couldn't get anything going and had to punt the ball back. The Indians scored again,  going right down and in on a 15 yard run by Friello. Carbone's kick was good and North Haven was out in front 35-0.

10/24: Sheehan won the toss, took the kick off and ran it back 92 yards for a touchdown, then kicked the extra point to go up 7-0. North Haven responded with a drive into Titan territory.

Criscio had a couple of runs to open the second and then Mike Friello culminated the drive with a TD run to close within 14-10.
 

10/24: After a Sheehan punt, the Indians scored again on a Mike Friello keeper around the right end for a 34 yard TD run and a 17-14 lead.

10/24: In the third quarter, the Titans scored again with another long pass and North Haven worked a long drive and scored a touchdown on a 5 yard pass from Steve Cusano to Mike Iannone on 4th down.

Chris Matteis took it up and over and the Indians were back within 7 at 35-28. The Tigers took the 3rd quarter off, but came back with a vengeance in the 4th, scoring on a 26 yard QB keeper to put them back up by 14.

10/10: In a game where Ryan Criscio ran for 232 yards and a TD and Mike Friello ran for 114 yards and 3 TDs, you might think the Indians would have come out on top, but unfortunately, they lost a heartbreaker tonight, 28-27. In the first, North Haven stopped Foran's first drive when Billy Zullo intercepted Jake White's pass and the Indians took over on their own 4. A 96 yard drive culminated with Mike Friello's 1 yard TD plunge, and a 7-0 NH lead. The Lion's worked all night out of the shotgun, passing more than they ran. In the 2nd, they worked two very quick drives for TDs sandwiched around a North Haven punt as White threw primarily slants over the middle to Tyler Hames and Brian O'Keefeto to take a 14-7 lead.

10/10: With 1:44 left in 2nd, Ryan Criscio broke a 77 yard run, and Mike Friello scored TD #2 on an 8 yard keeper with seconds left in the half. The extra point kick was wide and the Indians headed into the half down 14-13.  The Lions came out throwing in the second half, working their way down to the Indian's goal line before being stopped on a 4th down try. A 90 yard drive to Foran's 7 followed, but after the go ahead TD was called back via a penalty, a missed 24 yard field goal gave the Lions the ball right back. On the next play, a short screen pass from White to Hames resulted in an 80-yard TD to open up a 21-13 Lion lead.

10/10: Very shortly after getting the ball back, Ryan Criscio broke a 50+ yard run to get the ball down to the Lions' 5, and Friello took it in for his 3rd TD to cut the lead to 21-19. Chris Matteis took the handoff and busted it in for the 2 pointer to tie the game at the end of the 3rd. The 4th quarter saw more of White passing to Hames for a 50 yard TD to put Foran back on top 28-21. With just over 5 minutes to play, Ryan Criscio shot through a hole in the middle and sprinted 45 yards for a North Haven TD. The Indians gambled and went for the win, but this time Matteis was stopped cold and Foran maintained their 1 point lead. North Haven got the ball back one more time, but Mike Friello was picked off in Lion territory to end this one, 28-27.

10/03: North Haven won the toss and deferred their choice to the second half. Derby asked for the ball and on the first play after the kickoff, Dan Sardilli intercepted a pass and returned it the other way for a TD. Ryan Criscio scored his first TD later in the quarter on a long run up the middle for a 14-0 lead.

10/3: The Red Raiders could not make a first down in the first half, and had to punt 4 times. The Indians took advantage of one of them with a short drive which culminated with a Chris Matteis dive over the pile into the end zone for a TD and a 21-0 North Haven lead at the half.

10/3:The Indains received the opening kickoff and Criscio almost broke it for a TD, but was taken down deep in Derby territory. Mike Friello finished off the short drive with a 20+ yard TD run around the left end and a 28-0 lead. Ryan Criscio added his second TD of the game with a long run later in the 3rd and tacked on his 3rd in the final quarter for a 42-0 lead. Robert Carbone scored 7 extra points with perfect kicks.

9/26: North Haven won the toss and deferred their choice to the 2nd half. Hillhouse took the opening kick, but couldn't score. The teams traded punts until North Haven earned a favorable spot to start a short drive and ultimately scored a touchdown on the last play of the quarter. But that TD was called back because of a holding penalty, and the Indians had to settle for a 23-yard field goal on the first play of the second quarter by Robert Carbone, and a 3-0 lead. The Academics responded very shortly after with an 82 yard TD scamper by Marvin McClendon to take a 6-3 lead. But the Indians fought back with a nice TD drive of their own highlighted by a nice run by Mike Mauro and a long run by Ryan Criscio.

9/26: When the drive seemed to stall around the Hillhouse 30 on 4th down, Mike Friello connected with Dan Oakes for a 17 yard pass play and then on 3rd and 13 hit Anthony Chiaia near the goal line and Chiaia busted through into the end zone for the score. The extra point kick by Carbone put the Indians back on top 10-6. But that lead was short lived as well as Hillhouse scored 3 plays later. The Academics took the next kickoff back to the 45 yard line, and then followed with a 31 yard run and a 24 yard slant pass for a 12-10 lead, which they took into the half.

9/26: In the third quarter, conditions deteriorated and neither team could move the ball. With 7:25 left in the 4th, Brandyn Wright broke a 50 yard TD for Hillhouse to open an 18-10 lead and their extra point kick was blocked. All fired up from the block with one last chance to tie, North Haven took the next kickoff and moved all the way to the Academics 24 yard line with a series of QB keepers, before a fumble killed this drive and helped Hillhouse to preserve an 18-10 win.

9/19: Branford scored a pair of first quarter TDs and took an early 12-0 lead with a 72 yard run by Dylan Northrup and Andrew Luzzi's 25 yard scamper. But the Indians came back with the help of Mike Friello's first of 2 rushing TDs, a 11 yard run out of the shotgun around the right end, to close out the first half scoring with Branford on top 12-7. North Haven took the 2nd half kickoff and moved deep into Hornet territory on the strength of 2 big passes from Friello. The first was to Jelani Sancho and second at the goal line to Dan Oakes.

9/19: A short TD plunge by Friello followed, but a missed 2 point conversion kept the score at 13-12, North Haven. The Indians got the ball back quickly and scored on Freillo's 3rd rushing TD, around the right side for about 20 yards to open up a 7 point lead, but a questionable call to go for 2 failed and the score was 19-12. North Haven continued to dominate in the fourth quarter, as they drove into Hornet territory while winding down the clock.

9/19: But a fumble with about 5 minutes to play gave Branford the ball back, and the Hornets took advantage as they moved down the field and then Andrew Luzzi hit D.J. Rossa with an 8 yard TD pass, and then surprised everyone by throwing for a 2 point conversion to a wide open Northrup in the end zone for a 1-point lead. North Haven got the ball back and drove to Branford's 14 - within range of a winning field goal, but consecutive sacks on 3rd and 4th down made scoring again impossible and Branford won this game, 20-19.
