Fifth-seed Bloomfield, meanwhile, had a 7-3 regular season and was looking for the Warhawks’ 11th Connecticut title.

Right from the start, Bloomfield was in trouble. Quarterback Cameron White was intercepted by Ansonia junior Jahzari Lawson, who returned the ball from midfield to the end zone for a score.

A two-point conversion gave Ansonia an 8-0 lead before the offense even got the ball.

After a Bloomfield three-and-out, Ansonia finally got the ball and drove well into the red zone, but a Bloomfield interception in the end zone calmed things down a bit.

But Ansonia scored again in the first quarter when senior running back Quintez Whittle ran up the middle 58 yards for a touchdown, the two-point conversion making it 16-0 Chargers.

With Blomfield driving into Charger territory, the first quarter ended on a Warhawk touchdown by freshman Lamont Applewhite from 37 yards out as the first quarter clock expired.

A missed two-point conversion, however, limited the damage for Ansonial and they led 16-6 after one quarter.

Bloomfield got the ball back and immediately drove downfield, aided by a personal foul, to the Ansonia 25-yard line.

On the next play at the 10:25 mark in the second quarter, senior Zachai Kimber ran it in for a 25-yard touchdown run, making it 16-12 Ansonia after the conversion was missed again.

But after a prior 23-yard TD run was called back by a holding penalty, Ansonia quarterback Matteo Sorrentiono merely ran it in again from 33 yards out on the next play to make it 22-12 Chargers with 6:34 left in the half.

Playing defensive back, Sorrentino then intercepted a White pass and got the ball back for Ansonia, taking it to the Chargers’ 47-yard-line

The Chargers took advantage of the turnover when Whittle ran it in from 43 yards out for another score.

After the two-point conversion, Ansonia was up 30-12 over Bloomfield and the rout was on with 3:42 left in the half.

Bloomfield then turned the ball over on downs and Ansonia ran out the clock, ending the first half with a commanding 30-12 lead.

Ansonia took the second-half kickoff, but was unable to move the ball and was forced to punt oon a three-and-out.

After a Bloomfield three-and-out, Ansonia got the ball back in good field position and quickly drove down field on the legs of Whittle.

The Titans then further extended their lead with a 7-yard touchdown run by Whittle, who moved the pile several yards to power into the end zone, effectively ending the game.

A two-point conversion game the Chargers a 38-12 lead over the Warhawks with 7:15 left in the third quarter.

It got worse for Bloomfield on the ensuing kickoff, which was fumbled and recovered by Anonia.

When Whittle rumbled in for another touchdown — his fourth — from 25 yards out, the game got uglier and with 6:48 seconds left in the third, Ansonia extended the lead to 44-12.

After Bloomfield again fumbled the kickoff, Ansonia took over at the Warhawks 41 in position to make the game even more of a blowout.

That is exactly what happened as Ansonia’s Sorrentino ran it in on a quarterback keeper from the 2 yard line, making the score 52-12 Ansonia with 4:49 seconds left in the third.

With 2:37 left in the third, Ansonia knocked out Bloomfield’s quarterback White, who injured a leg and had to be helped off the field.

Then the Ansonia lead got bigger after a 21-yard touchdown run by junior Crishon Vogel, making the score 58-12 Ansonia with 45 seconds left in the third quarter to close out the scoring.
