Tim S and Donnie Ice drawing it up at the Greeley game.
What’s a Donnie Ice????
The question shouldn’t be what is Donnie Ice. You should be asking, who is Donnie Ice?
Ridgefield- 15
Somers- 7
Donnie Ice is the Nickname of Ridgefield Off coordinator Don Connelly.
You can get Lemon-Cherry or Rainbow.
Ridgefield 13
Somers- 12 3OT
Does this mean they will be serving Ices at Somers? It is supposed to be in the 80’s. Put me down for Lemon.
I guess put me down for cherry. That’s some nickname! Could it be the same “D-Ice” that closed his eyes and hit the luckiest shot of his life to beat Garden City in 87? Ridge 12 somers 7
You know what somers is gonna be serving? GOALS… from marasco, petre, and pfiffner…. lots of them too, the only thing thats gonna be getting iced is ridgefield’s defense… Somers 15 Ridgefield 10
Tim Schurr is drawing up nothing for the Ice-Man.. The Town boys who are running your program will take care of that.

Brewster-Rye update?
Rye wins 8-6.
Greenwich 11 Fairfield Prep 9
I’m curious to see how Prep fares after a rough start. They’re a good team but have to show what they’re made of right now. They had a front loaded schedule.
