Darien 11 New Canaan 6. Big win for the Blue Wave over their biggest rival. The teams will probably play twice more this year (County, States). NC beat Darien three out of four times in 2021 and two out of three times in 2022. Darien probably will need to sweep all three games this year in order to achieve its goal of national number one.

Unfortunately, yesterday’s Gains for Brains event was canceled due to the weather.

Darien should have its student video team on it, I'm sure.

For some reason the CT FCIACs are able to call some match-ups scrimmages - instead of games - even mid to late season. Last Friday Greenwich Academy beat Wilton 11-6 and they called it a “scrimmage”. Starters played the entire game on both sides - same rules / timeouts and intensity. In 2022 and 2021 it was a “game” on the exact same weekend (and wins for Wilton) both years. Anyone know how or why this is? Coaches just agree to it beforehand? Perhaps the FCIAC schools have a limit on number OOC “games” and need to call the rest scrimmages.

WOW, I knew Greenwich Academy was one of the best in the country, but Wilton is a top 5 team this year hands down. Maybe they treated it like a scrimmage in their heads. Who knows. They are currently battling Darien in a matchup of Titans right now on DAF Media Youtube Channel.

Wilton did not treat it like a scrimmage. Greenwich Academy also beat New Canaan but that was earlier in the season in another “scrimmage”. (GA lost to Darien in yet another “scrimmage”). Would love to know how this works.

I haven't watched the game, Joe. Just checked in a couple of times to get the score. I plan on watching at some point.
