A look at high school football throughout the state

No. 4 Ansonia 33, Holy Cross 0
Sophomore Arkeel Newsome rushed 36 times for 293 yards and five touchdowns to lead Ansonia to a 33-0 victory over Holy Cross in the NVL championship at Municipal Stadium in Waterbury.
Newsome scored on TD runs of 57, 14, 5, 1 and 3 yards.
Newsome scored on the Chargers' first play from scrimmage and then added another touchdown in the first quarter.
The teams played to a scoreless second quarter, and Ansonia led just 14-0 at halftime.
Matt Aspinwall, Foran, football: Senior rushed for 143 yards and a touchdown and threw for 206 yards and another TD for the Lions in a 47-41 double-overtime win over Guilford Thursday.
Despite a convincing win over Holy Cross in Week 4, Ansonia football coach Tom Brockett is well-aware how dangerous the Crusaders can be.
Holy Cross scored first in that contest on Oct. 7 before the Chargers settled down and rolled to a 45-13 victory.
The teams meet again Thursday night to decide the Naugatuck Valley League champion. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. at Municipal Stadium in Waterbury.
Like Ansonia (9-0), the Crusaders (8-1) have a plethora of skill players, and both teams thrive running the ball.
Senior Dave DiGiorgi is Holy Cross’ best overall player, while fellow running back Adrian Brown, a junior, and freshman sensation Isaiah Wright are also dangerous in the open field.
“Obviously they’re a very talented football team,” Brockett said. “They have great skill players. Every time you go against that you worry about the speed and how those kids can score on you on one play.”
