Staples Offense Explosive Against Stamford, Scoring 42-7 Victory
The Wreckers offensive power was clearly evident on Saturday, with the Wreckers heading into the locker room at half-time with a 28-0 lead over the Black Nights.
Stamford entered the third quarter determined to put points on the board, which they managed to do against a stifling Wrecker defense scoring their only touchdown early in the period, however it would be the only time they were able to beat the defense.
Staples answered back almost immediately with a 70 yard run off a screen pass by senior Tyler Clark whose offensive contributions included 12 receptions, and two TD's for a total of 208 yards. Caleb Smith was outstanding with 4 touchdown passes and scored another TD rushing.
With 12 receptions, Tyler Clark gained 208 yards and scored two touchdowns. Adding to the total were James Hillhouse, Michael Nealon and Alex Fiala, each with a touchdown..
