Mike Eagle, a former assistant at Berlin and Valley Regional, won his first game last week as the head coach at Morgan after a 35-21 victory over Stafford/East Windsor.

Eagle is the third coach in four seasons for the Huskies. Eagle hopes to bring stability and unity to the program.

"It’s a new philosophy — a new culture," Eagle said. "The kids, and the parents, and the administration, everybody has really taken to it. I’m very happy with that. There’s a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of positives going on around the school and the community. We’ve done a lot of things in our locker room — just little things — to bring everyone together and to make a family out of this. That’s what a football team is all about. I think we’re establishing that."

Morgan hosts Pequot Conference rival North Branford on Friday at 6:30 p.m. at the Peters Complex. Morgan won last year, 48-25, snapping a long losing streak against the Thunderbirds.
