As Al Michaels once asked, “do you believe in miracles?”
Saturday night, on the seventh anniversary of the horrible shooting tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, the community’s high school captured its first state high school football championship since 1992 on the last play of the game, in what can only be described as an awesome feel-good story ending.
Watch how Newtown beat Darien 13-7 for the Class LL state title.
