Arkeel Newsome, carried 24 times for 164 yards and 2TDs, in Ansonia's 35-7 victory over Holy Cross.
Holy Cross held Ansonia to just 282 yards of total offense. Newsome, playing with an injured ankle, ripped off a 32 yard run on his first carry. He was Ansonia's only offensive option. Holy Cross did an outstanding job keep Ansonia's playmakers in front of them. Ansonia QB, Jai'Quan McKnight was just 1/6 for 13 yards on the night. That one reception went to Andrew Matos. Matos also had 4 carries for 29 yards and a TD. As well as Holy Cross played on defense, Ansonia was better. After starting QB, Christian Hamerling, threw an 18 yard pick six on HC's opening drive, to Ansonia's Raeshaun Finney. Holy Cross went to the "Wildcat" with super-sophomore Isaiah Wright and saw limited success in the first half. With Ansonia leading 14-0, HC was able to cut the lead in half. Following a botched Ansonia punt return, Wright took it in from 1 yard out. It was the first TD Ansonia's varsity has given up this season. Ansonia lead 21-7 at the half, on Matos' 4 yard burst. HC's saw the limited success it had offensively, dissipate in the second half. Ansonia held the Crusaders to 12 yards of offense the rest of the way. Newsome scored from 4 yards out, one play into the 4Q to give Ansonia a 28-7 lead. Jai'Quan McKnight added Ansonia's second pick six. On HC's next series, he took an Isaiah Wright pass 28 yards untouched to the endzone for the games final score.
