Norwich Free Academy's Tuzar Skipper was awarded the defensive MVP for twitter. "I was telling all the guys, `This is going to be my new home.'"įor Nutmeg, Gauthier was named the offensive MVP while Windsor's Jaylen Berry won the award on defense. The Steelers agreed to terms with free agent linebacker Tuzar Skipper, his agency, JL Sports, tweeted.The Titans cut Skipper on May 2, and he had remained a free agent since.Skipper has spent time. "I can't wait to be back here," Thompson said. He hopes to do so again soon, as he'll join the Huskies as a preferred walk-on this fall. Ollie, son of UConn men's basketball coach Kevin Ollie, chucked a 57-yard pass to Ledyard's Khary Carrasquillo-Childs to make it 21-0 Constitution in the second quarter.ĭespite losing, the 5-foot-9, 185-pound Thompson relished the chance to play at the home of UConn football. "We told them if we could get them to the second level, those kids would do the rest." "They're really good backs," Marinan said. Xavier's Andrew Meoli ran for another, from 13 yards out, making it 14-0. The Hillhouse tailback rushed for two touchdowns in the first half. Just keep on getting closer and closer.Ĭooper, along with others, made that awfully difficult. "There was a lot of intensity coming out of that locker room," said Roberts, whose team trailed 27-0 at halftime. Nutmeg just didn't have time to catch up. "He beat his guy off the line, got him in there into safety, and I just threw it up there for him to catch it." Roberts' final two touchdown heaves - of 14 and 71 yards to Vankamerik - were similiar play calls. "High school kids, a lot of them not coming from teams that have been in playoffs and championships, they think the game's over before it really is. "We knew they were capable of doing that," said Constitution coach Sean Marinan, from Xavier. Three touchdown passes by Roberts - one to Sheehan's Brandon Gauthier and two to Oxford's Chris Vankamerik - over the final 5:30 made it interesting. Nutmeg, on the other hand, sputtered for more than three quarters. "For us to come out and really execute on the first drive was huge." As an offense, it's hard to really click in those two weeks," Barmore said. Hillhouse's Harold Cooper capped the nine-play, 66-yard drive with a 4-yard run. He shared the team's offensive MVP award with Glastonbury's Jalen Ollie, who completed 8-of-11 attempts for 175 yards, one touchdown and one interception.īarmore, who will play at Yale next season, connected on all five attempts for 74 yards on Constitution's opening possession. Quarterback Stephen Barmore, who led Southington to the LL state title last fall, passed 18-of-26 for 176 yards for Constitution. "Unfortunately, it just took us a while to get going," said Thompson, who finished with only 20 yards on 12 carries.
