North Haven Varsity 0 14 0 7 - 21
Amity Varsity 0 0 0 19 - 19
11/26: The Indians traveled to a sloppy William E. Sim field in Woodbridge to take on the Amity Spartans in a Thanksgiving Day matchup. North Haven won the toss and deferred their choice to the second half. The Indians kicked off and the two teams traded punts until North Haven gained favorable field position and mounted the game's first scoring drive. Pounding the ball through the soft middle with consistent runs by Ryan Criscio and around the ends with runs by Joe Schwab and Kendrick Amaker, the Indians moved down to the goal line and scored on a 1-yard run by Schwab. Robert Carbone kicked the PAT to put North Haven up 7-0. Later in the quarter, North Haven moved back into Amity's end and scored when Schwab handed off to Amaker and then Amaker fired a pass back down the sideline to Schwab for a 20 yard touchdown. Carbone made his second PAT kick and the Indians took a 14-0 lead into the half. The Indians took the second half kickoff, but had to punt it back. Late in the third quarter, Amity mounted their first drive and scored on the first play of the 4th quarter as Tyler Vallie threw on the run diagonally across the field to Tom Scanlon, who was wide open in the end zone, for a 35 yard TD. At the end of the play, Amity was penalized 15 yards on the point after kick for unsportsmanlike behavior. The extra yardage proved costly as the PAT kick was missed, so North Haven's lead was now 14-6. Shortly thereafter, Schwab was intercepted when his pass was tipped by his intended receiver and Amity returned it inside the Indian red zone. A couple plays later, Vallie scored a touchdown on a 2-yard keeper. An attempt to tie the game with a 2-point pass attempt failed, so the score was 14-12 North Haven. The Indians responded with a nice time consuming drive that ate up most of the remaining fourth quarter. Schwab connected with Amaker with a key fourth down pass to keep the drive alive and move inside the Spartan red zone. A couple of runs by Amaker helped move the ball in close and then Schwab took it around the right side for a 1-yard touchdown. Rob Carbone connected with his third PAT kick to make the score 21-12. Amity got the ball back with under two minutes to play, and put together a quick drive to score again on a 16 yard pass from Vallie to Christian Sanchez to make the final score 21-19. With the win, North Haven improved their record to 7-3 and narrowly missed the Class MM playoffs, finishing 5th in the state.
