King to Face Suffield Academy in Del Prete-Theobold Bowl
November 19, 2009 in Uncategorized Posts by timparry
King is playing in its second-straight New England Prep School Athletic Council championship game this Saturday. Its opponent in the Del Prete-Theobold Bowl is Suffield Academy, and game time is 1 p.m. at Kingswood-Oxford School in West Hartford.
Kingswood-Oxford is the site of last year’s bowl game loss by King, to the hands of Milton Academy.
By the way, there will be at least one familiar face on the Suffield Academy roster. Nick DiRubio, who was BlueStreak Sports Training’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2008, is doing a post-grad year at Suffield Academy, and is playing both linebacker and center.
Also, former FCIAC players Frank Granito (New Canaan) and Richie Edwards (Trumbull) will lead Canterbury up to Easthampton, MA to participate in NEPCAC’s Austin Bowl. Canterbury will play New Hampton in a 1 p.m. game Saturday.
Edwards is Canterbury’s leading rusher, and Granito leads the team with seven interceptions.

I hear the Suffield Academy kids drink tea with their pinkies straight out. Some of their players may wear smoking jackets and ascots!
read8834 we are all tired of listening about how king played in scrimmages they are just scrimmages from how you make it seem they go all out, but most fciac teams are just trying to rotate through players and figure out what they have
They played Central tough in preseason. Scoring three times and giving up two tds. Central you know is great. They beat several other FCIAC teams in scrimmages as well. You can compare them easily. I am not saying that they would win the FCIAC. I am saying they could compete with any team in it.
dont get me wrong im not saying king isnt good but you cant compare them to any good fciac team…central, geenwich, new canaan,and even staples would beat this prep team…i have seen them play. they are not fast enough or strong enough to play with these teams
