    Local roundup: East Lyme football comes back to beat Law 21-14

    East Lyme's Mike Morgan carries the ball during the second quarter of Thursday night's high school football game against Jonathan Law. Morgan had 14 carries for 71 yards and the game's go-ahead touchdown, as the Vikings won 21-14 to snap Law's winning streak at five.

    East Lyme - A winning record might be out of East Lyme High School's reach, but coach Rudy Bagos believes the Vikings have become a pretty good football team.

    "Actually, I feel like we've been playing pretty well all year," Bagos said after his Vikings rallied from an early 7-0 deficit to beat Law of Milford 21-14 Thursday night, ending the Lawmen's five-game winning streak. "We've played some very good football teams."

    East Lyme (4-6), which closes its season on Thanksgiving morning at rival Waterford, has lost five games to teams which have either qualified or remain in the hunt for a state playoff berth - Middletown, Norwich Free Academy, Windham, New London and Ledyard.

    "For us to be able go 5-6, I would take it because of the schedule we've played," he said.

    The Vikings spotted Law an early 7-0 lead before scoring the next 21 points.

    Mason Pagan tied it late in the first half on a 10-yard run before the Vikings converted a pair of turnovers into 14 points to take control in the second half. Mike Morgan, who carried 14 times for 71 yards, scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 3-yard run midway through the third quarter after the Vikings recovered a fumble.

    Morgan also played a major role in East Lyme's final TD, intercepting the pass that led to Connor Parker's 22-yard touchdown pass to T.J. LaDuca early in the fourth quarter.

    Law (5-5) scored with 1:37 to pull within seven, but the Vikings recovered the onside kick and ran the clock out.
