Griswold/Wheeler blanks Montville/St. Bernard for fifth straight win

Not even inclement weather can slow down the Griswold/Wheeler football team. Junior quarterback Liam Cassidy tossed two touchdown passes, senior running back Jaxson Demicco rushed for 102 yards on 23 carries, and the Wolverines’ defense forced seven turnovers en route to a 14-0 ECC Division 3 victory over Montville/St. Bernard during a steady rainstorm Friday night at Montville High School. It was the Wolverines’ fifth straight win . “I couldn’t be more proud of these guys,” Wolverines first-year coach Josh Howarth said. “They’re coming out every single week doing what we expect them to do. We’re playing great football at the right time.” The rain wreaked havoc for both teams during a scoreless first quarter that featured numerous fumbles and dropped passes. “We knew it was going to be a dogfight coming in here,” Howarth said. "Coach Tanner (Montville coach Grove) has these guys rolling right now. We knew that they want to run the ball and play power offense, especially with No. 50 (lineman D’Mitri Charles) who is an absolute stud. We had to play into their game and started to run the ball too. Unfortunately, with the rain and everything we had to play through the elements.” Early
