“We Still Love You”

Staples fans chanted “We still love you” after the Wreckers lost to Cheshire today 28-21 in the state Class LL championship at West Haven. Coach Marce Petroccio said: “We gave the Town of Westport one heckuva year.” He added, “I love my kids. We fell a little short today. That’s how it goes. No excuses.” WestportNow.com video

You bet, we still love you. The game today had all the elements of a Greek drama. The hero overcomes a monumental task (down 21-7 at the half), only to come to a downfall thru outside sources (the ball being stripped by Havlicek). Despite the outcome this was one hades (keeping with the Greek motif) of a game. This has been one wonderful ride the Wreckers have given their fans.
Despite the loss, I suspect that the Wreckers will get 1 or 2 votes for #1 in the final polls, and probably will end up no less than 4th.
Congratulations to Cheshire, and again, to the Staples Wreckers for a great season.
