North Branford Evens Record at 1-1 with 18-7 Win Over Haddam-Killingworth
The T-Birds bounce back from tough opening loss to nip Cougars.
The North Branford Thunderbirds overcame a heart stopping in its season opener to beat Haddam-Killingworth at home last night 18-7.
The T-Birds bounced back from an early 7-6 deficit to score touchdowns in the second and third quarters on runs by junior Joe Delucia.
The Cougars relied on a strong running attack led by senior Dan German, who rolled around the left side late in the first quarter for a 28-yard touchdown run that put HK ahead with the extra point.
