RHAM’s Max Nylen is coming off an 8 TD performance last week. According to the Connecticut High School Football Record Book, only two players have scored more than eight touchdowns in a game, Sheehan’s Zach Davis 10 in 2016, Torrington’s Brenden Lytton nine in 2010.
Nylen started the scoring for RHAM tonight with a 2-yard TD run to tie the game with Plainville at 7-7 in the second quarter.
Kickoff returned for TD
Berlin, 4-0, looks set to have a clear path to a Class M playoff spot. We’ll let Pete Paguaga explain that later in his story of the Berlin-Bristol Eastern game. But we’ll let you know that the Red Coats had a clear path after kickoff when Berlin’s Luke Maguder ran 90 yards for a TD and a 6-0 lead with 11:46 left in the first quarter.
Plainville, looking for first win, scores first

thursday football summary
The NVL took center stage Thursday night with a three-game slate and their marquis event between the undefeated Holy Cross and Naugatuck did not disappoint.
Holy Cross overcame a 12-point deficit over four quarters to upset Naugatuck in dramatic fashion, blocking a 24-yard field goal attempt with 14 seconds remaining that would have won the game for Naugy.
First, second-year quarterback Drew Caouette scored on a 6-yard run with 8:06 remaining in the game to cut Naugatuck’s lead to 19-14. Then, on the opening kickoff, Roehn Maldonado flew in to force a fumble. Holy Cross rallied on the Naugatuck 20, and Marquis Campbell ran three plays later to score the win.
Holy Cross gets a bye, then another matchup with another undefeated NVL team, Ansonia, on October 21 at Waterbury.
While Ansonia coach Tom Brockett saw plenty of room for improvement for his team in eighth place, the Chargers had a fairly easy time under Wolcott in a 44-6 win.
Ansonia was led by 164 passing yards and two touchdowns in the air from Christopher Kaminski, 126 rushing yards and a touchdown from David Cassetti, and a pair of touchdown runs from Machi Ingram.
