Bad weather was bad news for the Staples varsity football team as it went down to defeat today to Darien High School 12-0 in heavy rain at home.
It was the third straight loss for the Wreckers (5-4, 3-4 FCIAC)) and second consecutive shutout—something that has not happened since 2000.
Darien’s John Gardner kicked two field goals to put the Wave up 6-0. Leading scorer Nikki Dysenchuk’s touchdown made it 12-0 at the half.
The Wreckers play Fairfield Ludlowe next Saturday at home and end the season Nov. 27 against Greenwich at Greenwich.
