The Meat Grinder (S4 E9): Wilton's E.J. DiNunzio
We're rounding into the homestretch of the 2021 season and unless you were at St. Joseph fan at No. 1 Darien's 42-14 victory over the No. 2 Hogs, Week 8 didn't disappoint. Instead, the best results came elsewhere, especially in Wilton where the Warriors finally toppled their white whale -- Ridgefield -- for the first time since 1993. Joining us this week is Wilton's fourth-year coach E.J. Dinunzio, who talks about this year's titan-toppling club, led by Parker Woodring and Grant Masterson. Pete and Sean also go over some of the weekend's other wild results, like Masuk's 28-point comeback over New Fairfield, Shelton's revenge tour victory over Newtown, West Haven's affirming victory over Notre Dame-West Haven and New Canaan's bruising win over Greenwich. Jeff Jacobs also joins us to talk about Darien-St. Joseph and the struggle of the state's city programs in this postpandemic year. So join us won't you?
