SEASON RECAP
The WTSA football team opened the season with a strong 24-12 win but injuries and attrition took it toll as the young team finished 2-8 on the year. Stamford Academy senior linebacker Frank Wright #24 had an outstanding year leading the defense with 109 tackles and much of the state of Connecticut throughout the year. Franks was selected to the Constitution State Conference 1st team defense.
   
Senior running back Juan Peralta  #33 rushed for 404 yds @ 4.99 ypg, 114 yds receiving @ 11.4 ypg and throwing a TD pass in the last game, Juan also had 43 tackles and 3 interceptions and 3 fumble recoveries at safety. Senior quarterback/receiver Gaquawn Henderson #18 rushed for 307 yds @ 4.58 ypg. Junior quarterback Kareem Cope #22 rushed for 489 yds @ 6.27 ypg, caught 5 passes for 108 yds and threw for 26/64 for 248 yds and 5 TD passes-a bright spot for next year's team.
  
Senior linebacker Elijah Washington #50 finished with 42 tackles and senior safety Ryan Walker #25 finished with 49 tackles and 2 interceptions. Junior defensive lineman Dondre Evans #66 finished with 39 tackles despite missing 4 games and sophomore defensive lineman Kenny Mixon #70 finished with 26 tackles.
