Cheshire football rallies to defeat West Haven with late field goal

Cheshire erased a 13-point halftime deficit to secure a 15-13 victory over West Haven in a Southern Connecticut Conference game on Friday at Ken Strong Stadium. After managing fewer than 20 yards of total offense in the first half, the Rams utilized two second-half safeties and a 15-yard touchdown run by Michael Chopak to narrow the gap. Senior kicker Tim Reinhard provided the winning margin by converting a 44-yard field goal with 1:55 remaining in the fourth quarter. West Haven, which scored on two first-half runs by Haven N'sumbu, moved the ball to the Cheshire 32-yard line on its final possession but failed to complete a rally. The loss ended a competitive defensive effort for the Westies, who held the Rams scoreless until the third quarter.
