Leave it to senior Rob Foisey, one of Griswold High School's saviors Friday night, to describe his team's stunning turnaround in a pivotal Eastern Connecticut Conference Small Division game. The Wolverines went from giving away the game, committing all five turnovers and several costly penalties in the first three quarters, to staging a dramatic comeback. "That's Griswold football," Foisey said.

They strike fast on offense, and they're really quick on defense, and they have a lot of talented players. "But they've had some mishaps in the games that's cost them some games. They've had some turnovers and some unfortunate events that's a difference-maker in big-time ballgames."

A year ago, Zack Novak was one of the new guys -- a freshman awed by the college experience with no idea what playing in a major college game was like.
