Drew Pyne met Ryan Berg this past summer at the Elite 11. Ryan told
@dpyne10
he wanted to see him play and this past weekend he traveled from PA to be our honorary captain and help us to a Homecoming win. Ryan is an amazing, inspirational kid who is winning his fight.

An unprecedented day for New Canaan football. We are so proud of Drew Pyne, Jack Stewart and Jack Conley on their respective committments to Notre Dame, Michigan and Boston College. A great day for these student-athletes, their families and the entire town of New Canaan.

A very sad day for our New Canaan Football family as we lost one of the greats. Bo Hickey was a storied athlete out of Stamford and a legendary assistant coach for the Rams under Lou Marinelli for more than three decades. Words cannot describe how much he will be missed.

RIP to an all-time great New Canaan Ram and a wonderful human being, Milton Word. Milt was a star RB on the 1965 State Championship team and still ranks as one of the top career rushers in NCHS history. Sending sincere condolences to the Word family.
Big congrats to Denis LaPolice, recipient of the National Football Foundation Contributions to Amateur Football Award. Denis continues to dedicate and devote incalculable time, effort and resources to the entire NC Football program—long after his own sons graduated NCHS.

Nice sack and even better moves

but those who really know you also know you’re only the third best dancer in the family behind Alexandra and Irene.
Senior co-captain Conor Bailey’s 85-yard kickoff return for a TD Friday night ties for the 8th longest in New Canaan program history. The record is 96-yards by Peter Moller in 1942 versus Darien.
