Junior Midgets win State Title
(November 15, 2014) - The West Haven Seahawks Junior Midget football team could not wait to get another chance at the Hartford Hurricanes. With Hartford giving West Haven its only loss of the season, it was only fitting the Westies got that chance in the Junior Midget state championship game Saturday evening at Veteran's Stadium. 
Led by quarterback Zack Conlan and the defense of linebackers Willie Gulley and Jordan Berrious, the Westies advanced to the New England Regionals with a 32-0 thumping of Hartford in a game which also decided the Southern Connecticut Pop Warner championship. 
"We did use that as motivation," West Haven coach Rick Merritt said. "We just told the kids to remember them celebrating on our field like they won a state title when they beat us in the regular season. We told them we would see them in the playoffs. This was the game we defended our turf."
With the win, West Haven will now await the winner of Dorcester, Massachusetts and Springfield on Sunday to play in the New England Regionals, November 29 at Foley Stadium in Worcester, Massachusetts. 
The Seahawks have outscored their opponents 63-0 in the two playoff games, which also includes a 31-0 victory over Danbury in the semifinals. 
The defense consists of linebackers Conlan, Gulley and Berrious, defensive backs Jalen Ricks, Jaden Sheridan and Bryce Sebastian, defensive linemen Tony Muse, Davee Silas Jr., Tyquan King, Neal Eley, Darren Warren and Demerick Blackford. 
"I have to credit my coaches," Merritt said. "We have been together the last five years and some have been together 11 years. We work hard together with the kids. Our linebackers are great. They make plays. Willie Gulley and Jordan Berrious are two of the best linebackers in the state. If a running back sees a hole, it is going to close quickly."
After being shut out by Hartford in the regular season by a score of 7-0, the Seahawks scored twice in the first quarter to take a 13-0 lead. Muse got the Westies going with a 40-yard touchdown run and Sheridan ran in the extra point for a 7-0 lead. 
The Westies were not done in the opening quarter as they turned to the passing game to extend the lead. Conlan connected with Sebastian for an 18-yard score and a 13-0 lead after the conversion failed. 
"They were big," Merritt said. "We did not score against them the first time we played them so I think the scores gave us confidence. If we did not score quickly, it might be our mindset that it would be hard to score again. But, we jumped on them early and I think that gave us confidence. Hartford is tough. They are a great defensive team and are coached very well."
The Westies did not let up, taking a 20-0 lead to the half as Ricks raced in from 30 yards out. 
"These kids play hard," Merritt said. "The kids know the game of football. They are focused, they come to practice every week and they listen and they know the game. They suggest things and we listen We have a good rapport with the kids."
The Westies iced the game behind the play of Conlan down the stretch. Conlan increased the lead to 26-0 with a 15-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and he added a 10-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter for a 32- 0 win. 
"Zach has a lot of heart," Merritt said of Conlan. "He plays the game of football like it is supposed to be played. He does not give up. His attitude is always team-oriented. He is a pleasure to coach."
With the win, the Westies (9-1) became the first Junior Midget team from West Haven to win a championship as a Division I team. We told the kids that in practice and they feed off that."
West Haven's offense has also been solid in the postseason with Conlan at quarterback, Austin Doyle at center, Ricks, Muse and Sheridan in the backfield, Berrious as the tight end, along with Eley, and Gulley at the offensive tackle position.   
Merritt's coaching staff consists of Eric Stall (offensive line), Tay Winlder (defensive coordinator), Art Demby (offensive coordinator), Greg Smith (running backs) and Lionel Nixon (special teams).
