It was homecoming week for Connetquot and Andrew Amarando was determined to send everyone home happy.
It might have taken overtime, but in the most exciting game of the weekend in Suffolk County Connetquot beat Sachem North 21-14. Defense was the name of the game as regulation ended with the two teams knotted at 14, but Connetquot pulled away in the extra session with the final and game-deciding TD.
With the win, Connetquot was able to take home the High Birdsall Oar. The Oar is given to the winning team in the "Battle of Lake Ronkonkoma" game that was established last season.
Leading the way for Connetquot was Amarando who scored all three touchdowns, including the game winner in OT to seal the victory.
