Falcons Soar to Huge Victory In Home Opener

Sometimes we rank games and wins bigger than they really are. Maybe I am doing that, but maybe not.

Ludlowe football defeated Hamden on Friday night 35-14 in the Falcons home opener. Hamden was definitely favored coming into the game. 

I think this is the biggest win the Ludlowe football history. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has different thoughts. I've seen a lot of the games (and most of the wins) since 2009. While there were other wins that were a lot of fun, none of those compare to this. Hamden was ranked top five in Class LL. 

Those previous teams were different than this one. As if every team. Things change over time. 

Ludlowe is currently 3-0 after beating Simsbury, Bridgeport Central and now Hamden to open the season. Big game versus New Canaan next Friday at home at 6pm. 

Big games from many, including the entire defense. I will shout out Jackson Frame, who had three interceptions and a touchdown catch and Justin Toothaker who had a touchdown catch. 

Tremendous job by all the players and coaches. Total team win. 

I was back on the scoreboard, as I will be for all the games this year, just as I was a season ago. Nice to work with Paul Piorek, who is back as the voice of Ludlowe football on the PA this season. 

The Nest, the Ludlowe student section, was awesome tonight. Not only were they out in numbers in a USA theme, but they were loud and into the game all night. 

Back at it next week. Lots of other sports between now and then.
