The rain seemed to know when this game was going to be played today as it started right at game time and disapated as the game came to close. The conditions worsened as the field began to take on more water.

Neither team could mount any sort of drive as they traded possessions with punts into the second quarter before Chris Rice broke up the middle untouched and blocked a punt to set up the Hornets first score as they took over inside the Indians' 20. Curtis Sutherland carried it in for Branford to put them up 6-0.

On North Haven's next drive, Shaun Donahue took the snap and faked a handoff as he rolled to the outside, but he overthrew his intended receiver and Curtis Sutherland picked it off along the sideline near midfield. The Hornets moved into the North Haven red zone on some nice runs by Sutherland and Justin Blood before the drive culminated with a touchdown pass from DJ Ryan. The kick after was no good, so Branford took a 12-0 lead into the half.

North Haven kicked off to open the second half but Branford graciously gave the ball back on Andrew Cohen's fumble. The Indians couldn't do much with it so they punted it back. Shortly thereafter DJ Ryan's screen pass tipped off Sutherland's outstretched hands and it was intercepted by Jalon White and taken the other way to the house for a North Haven touchdown. The point after attempt was blocked making the score 12-6.

With the field now completely saturated, and each team slipping all over the place, neither team could do much as the clock kept ticking. Jalon White took over for the Indians with about four minutes to go and made some great runs to move the ball down to the Hornets' goal line. But when it became 4th and goal from the 1, Branford stuffed the rush and took over on downs.

After narrowly avoiding a safety on the first play, Hornets QB DJ Ryan fired a pass from deep in his end zone which Jared Keck caught while backpedaling over the middle out near the 35 yard line. From there Branford repeatedly fed the ball to Curtis Sutherland who moved it into Indian territory while chewing up the clock. Branford turned the ball over on downs inside the North Haven 35, but the Indians watched helplessly as the clocked ran out and Branford walked away with a rain soaked 12-6 win.
