After each having a week off, the St. Joseph Cadets and the Darien Blue Wave will shake off the cobwebs and square off against one another at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Both are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Darien is hoping to do what Stamford couldn't last Saturday: put an end to St. Joseph's winning streak, which now stands at four games. Everything went St. Joseph's way against Stamford as St. Joseph made off with a 38-13 victory. 38 seems to be a good number for the Cadets as the team scooped up a win with the same number of points in their previous game.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead St. Joseph to victory, but perhaps none more so than Finn Kilmartin, who rushed for 73 yards and a touchdown.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Darien, who bounced back after a loss on the road back in September. They breezed by Norwalk at home to the tune of 49-14 last Saturday. Given the Blue Wave's advantage in MaxPreps' Connecticut football rankings (they are ranked 11th, while the Bears are ranked 65th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
St. Joseph's record now sits at 4-0. As for Darien, their record is now 3-1.
St. Joseph strolled past Darien in their previous matchup back in September of 2022 by a score of 14-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for St. Joseph since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
