This was Newtown's first state championship since the 1992 season. This year's state title comes seven years after the horrific massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary.
Twenty children and six adults were killed on Dec. 14, 2012, when Adam Lanza entered the campus with a rifle and handgun. In all, 28 people were killed. This includes Lanza and his mother, who was shot and killed at her home before the shooting rampage. The players on this Newtown team were elementary age when the shooting happened, including linebacker Ben Pinto, who lost his younger brother, Jack, in the deadly shooting.
The Newtown faithful showed up at the state championship wearing green to honor the victims of the day seven years earlier. It wasn't just cheerleaders wearing green bows, players using green tape and Newtown fans wearing green. The Darien fans even wore green in remembrance of the victims."The whole town showed out on this special night," Dunn said."We knew we had to bring it home for our town. 27 years, it's crazy. This is crazy.
