Dan Soutot scored on the opening klck-off from 72 yards away and then added the conversion to give the Patriots an 8-0 lead. Page Knight,s search for first win by Eric Senlch for The Observer The search for answers continued for the SHS Blue Knights football team agairmt Newington on a chilly Saturday afternoon at Fontana Field. They didn't find the answers as turnovers proved costly on a loss to a team that had won only one game. The Blue Knights dropped their record to 0-5 Saturday as Dave Vumback's nine yard touchdown run with I minute 23 econds remaining gave Newington a 12-6 victory for their second victory of the season. The Knights next face unbeaten Bristol Eastern tomorrow night. It was a game in which Southington played well on offense, outgalning the Indians 201-128, and on defense, limiting Newington to Just 5 first downs and 33 yards combined but two big Knights decline. After a hard fought scoreless first quarter, the Newington Indians threatened early but came up short in the 2nd quarter when Indian Quarterback Brian Perrillo threw a second down bullet from the 13 which was caught outside of the endzone. It led to two big defensive plays by Seuthington to turn he ball over. Tom Cim'cia haft-one of his team leading 3 sacks followed by Drew Pierce's crushing tackle on 4th down to turn the ball over to the Knights. With 5 minutes 21 seconds left in the half, Newington finally struck first on a heart breaking play for Knights' safety Steve Matyczyk. Indian QB. Perrills followed up a 16 yard pass to the same target. Chris Segley, but this time hc threw long for Southington's 49. As Matyczyk followed Begley stride for stride, he reached up to get his hands on Perrlllo's pass but could only tip it into',Begley"s hands, who g lloped the rests'of th way to ra ake'tt 6-0. Clarets received his second sack to stop Newington's 2 point attempt. The Knights came back however sparked by Matczyk's 20 yard kickoff return to their own 42. Four plays later, Scott Otis threw from Newington's 48 yard llne and Tyler SmJth sprawled ut to make a diving catch at the 23 which excited the near tO0 fans ,ho were mostly dormant throughout the game. Four plays later with 34 seconds Knights defensive line harassed Newington all Saturday a/ ernoon. Number 70, Tom Ciarcla flushed the Newington quarterback out of the pocket. on a 4th and long tuatton. Otis and Matyczyk connected again on a 34 yd touchdown pass. The Knights were held to 6 and thus the first half ended on an uplifting note, 6-6 The Knights pul the pressure on defense In the . ,econd half led by lherce and Ciarcia and had their team remain in a 6-6 tie going into the 4th quarler "We wanted the ball so their end of the field in the 4th quarwr," said the coach oi" the Indians.
