The Staples Wreckers overcame a first-half deficit Friday at home to defeat the Tigers 26-10 on a field which was shrouded in fog for much of the first quarter to a thrilled crowd that was hoping the Wreckers might move closer to securing a spot in the playoffs.

Tanner Connors first crossed the goal line early on, then Ridgefield replied with a touchdown with four minutes left in the first half, and added a field goal in the final minute of the half. That would be the last time they put points on the board thanks to the tenacious Wreckers defense. 

Tyler Clark scored the next Wreckers touchdown followed by a Miles Scarfo TD reception from QB Ryan Thompson for their third score. Connors scored his second touchdown with seconds on the clock to end the game.
