The new-look Jonathan Law football team is finally on the scoreboard.

After a tough stretch of games to begin the season, the Lawmen, in their first season under new head coach Derrick Lewis, picked up their first win of the year on October 10 with a 38-8 road victory over East Haven.

The Lawmen are now 1-4 with six games left to play this season.

Senior Max German led the team to victory against East Haven with four touchdowns and over 200 yards rushing.

The Lawmen started out the season with a tough schedule and are easing back into the second half of their schedule which features many winnable games. Law has games remaining against Sheehan, Guilford, Branford, Lyman Hall, East Lyme, and Foran.

“We have the potential to win the next few games,” senior captain Giovanni Marzullo said. “This would put us in a good place for the Thanksgiving day game against Foran.”

The team is staying focused week-to-week, but they are also thinking ahead to their Thanksgiving Day game against the rival Lions. They believe a win is possible if they stay on the path they are on now.

Senior Night is also right around the corner for the team. The Lawmen host Lyman Hall for Senior Night on November 15 at 7 p.m.

On Senior Night, the team’s underclassmen will honor this year’s senior class for all the hard work and effort that they have put in over the years.

“(Senior Night) is very sad to think about,” senior captain Drew Carolan said, “It makes the rest of the seniors and I work harder every day at practice.”
