Eluding the Tackle

Bunnell quarterback Steve Smith eludes a tackle by Staples junior Josh Kozel (42) as Andrew Kennedy (15) looks on during tonight’s 28-26 Wreckers loss to the Bulldogs of Stratford in the Class L championship game at West Haven. Smith threw four touchdown passes and intercepted a potential game-tying two-point conversion play with 4:01 remaining to lift Bunnell to victory over the two-time defending champions.
