TRUMBULL — The gamble paid off.
Going for it on fourth and one just a minute into the game, Trumbull coach Marce Petroccio told his quarterback, Colton Nicholas to do what he does best, push the ball forward.

Eyes quickly scanned the roster, searching for a name that wasn’t there.
That’s because the young man wearing the jersey was Quintin O’Connell, a senior captain for New Canaan.
O’Connell, who normally wears No. 20, donned 22 in honor of Jason Cooper, the New Canaan receivers coach who passed away on July 7 of a heart attack at age 52.
