Intersquad Result from Sept. 21:

Last night’s intersquad game was a nail-biter. On the last play of the contest, thanks to a swarming defense, the Blue team denied the Red team’s 2 point conversion, securing the 20-18 victory. The Red team was paced by the nimble legs of quarterback Theo Curletti and the power running of the pint-sized spark plug, Mikey Ireland. TJ Coon and Cam Scarboro captained the Red team defense, making several key stops to keep the score close. Alex Dellea’s fumble recovery provided a late chance for the Red team to draw even, but it was not to be. The Blue team attack was headed by the cat-quick reflexes of Alexia Bercier and early Heisman candidate Mateo Buffoni. Buffoni matched Curletti’s long runs and added a spectacular interception return for a touchdown. Gunnar Laine made the most of his opportunities, breaking off a rumbling, stumbling run down the sidelines. The Blue team defense was spearheaded by Ben Troiano and Luca Bertini whose heady play and quiet leadership help win the day.
