Staples Record-Setting Offense Overwhelms Norwalk
The Staples Wreckers defeated the Norwalk Bears 56-7 at Staples High School Friday night before a large crowd at home.
Junior quarterback Caleb Smith was outstanding after passing for 274 yards and 4 touchdowns, including connecting twice with senior James Hillhouse, and again with sophomore Shane Sandrew, and again with senior Leo Sequenzia while also rushing for two more. Tyler Clark set the Staples record for receptions and receiving yardage in a single season. This is particularly noteworthy as there are three games remaining in the season, which makes it likely Clark will break his own record by season's end and establish one that will be difficult to top going forward. Sophomore Anthony Armentano carried the ball 9 times for 44 yards and another Staples TD.
The Bears lost their starting quarterback early in the first quarter when, while scrambling for a touchdown, he was injured and was taken from the field. The aggressive Wreckers defense was just too much from that point on, forcing 6 turnovers including 2 interceptions by senior cornerback Will Holleman.
The Wreckers are 6-1 on the season and will face Westhill of Stamford at home this Friday.
