Running away with records

McAllen rushed for 85 yards on 22 carries in the Hawks 53-7 loss to Seymour scoring the only touchdown of the game for Woodland on a 12 yard pass from Zach Bedryczuk. McAllen finishes with a school record of 6,323 total offensive yards and second all-time with 65 touchdowns.
All-around performer
Woodland senior Coby Vaccarelli was a leader on defense and an all-around guy on offense, carrying the ball three times for 36 yards and catching a 9-yard pass in the Thanksgiving Eve battle with Seymour.
Big-play guy
Woodland senior receiver Jon Scirpo set up the Hawks’ first score Thanksgiving Eve versus Seymour by hauling in a 7-yard pass on fourth-and-three to convert the first down. Scirpo later hauled in a 33-yard catch to get Woodland into Seymour territory.
Naugy’s unsung hero
Naugatuck junior Tyler Deitelbaum has been a constant threat in the air and on the ground all season long. On Thanksgiving Day against Ansonia, Tyler scored the only Greyhounds touchdown on an 8-yard carry and finished with 67 yards rushing on 13 carries.
