| For the 3nd time in 4 seasons, the Southington Knights held up the 5' Championship trophy for winning Waterbury's Fall League defeating the Gators 27-20. The two teams have now won the last 8 Waterbury league titles.
The Gators jumped out to an early 14-0 lead behind QB Joey Edmonds 50 yd TD strike and 15yd scoring scramble. The Knights however, did not panic and slowly chipped away and took a 15-14 lead into the final 50 seconds of the half on two TD's from the versatile TE/QB Kelvin Riddle (1 rec/1 rushing). But the Gators walked right back down the field and a WR screen to Carl "Shank" Bond put the Gators back on top 20-15 at the half.
The second half was much more of a defensive battle, especially from the Knights who turned up the heat on the Gators O-line. With the Knights bigs winning the battles in both trenches, QB Jon "Ish" Esmail directed the offense to 2 scoring drives with excellent play calling and his ability to throw on the move. The Gators had a chance to tie the score in the final minute but 3 consecutive sacks from NG Tony sealed the win for the Knights.
Shout out to both teams for playing a great game!!

| I'm glad you like the recap Ish, you did a great job running the offense, very impressive. As far as writing for Hartford, thanks but no thanks. I'm working with Chris and we are gonna have a spring league in Meriden/Waterbury, I would wait and see where the top teams play before committing to Hartford. I think we are putting out the spring package soon!
