Staples Defense All the Talk

After Saturday’s Staples 35-7 Class L championship win over East Lyme, much of the talk again was about the Wrecker defense. East Lyme Coach Andrew Dousis summed it up this way: “No. 52 killed us, man.” He was talking about senior Pat Scott, seen here bringing down Viking tailback Tim Allen. Scott was named Wrecker MVP for his 18 tackles, three for loses. It was the second state title in three years for the Wreckers. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) WestportNow.com photo

Pat Scott is remembered from all the way over here in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, where he used to hold his own in any sport against kids several years older than he. It is not unexpected that he was the MVP and that he ‘killed’ East Lyme, as their coach said. He was a hilariously rambunctious bulldog as a kid, he loved improvised sandlot football games in the backyard, and he seemed to be in his element while wrestling with my son and others. I’m an old Wilton Warrior myself but I must say: Congrats to Pat and the Staples team!
