Stonington — Stonington High School recovered a fumble on the opening kickoff and scored in one play, a run by Riley Burnside.

It was the Bears' night, as they beat Waterford 42-28, equaling their point total for the rest of the season combined. It was the first win of the season for Stonington (1-6 overall, 1-2 Eastern Connecticut Conference Division II).

Waterford had a first-and-goal with about five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Stonington coach A.J. Massengale said, when the Bears got a stop on defense.

"We ended up getting the ball on the 1-yard-line," Massengale said. "We were backed up. We got ourselves a first down. We got ourselves another first down."

Stonington scored on a touchdown run by John Curtin to put the game away.

"I was talking with our coaches after the game," Massengale said. "I'm just so happy for these kids. They've worked so hard. The results haven't gone our way. They played hard tonight and they were able to make those plays. I'm just very happy for them.

"It was excellent. We have these seniors that are playing so hard. They set a good example for all these young kids we have playing."

Burnside had three touchdowns for Stonington, including one on an 80-yard kickoff return in the second quarter, and Nate Miller had two.

Waterford is 2-5, 1-3.
