NEW CANAAN, Conn. As if New Canaan Rams Head Coach Lou Marinellis day couldnt get much better, one little face made a homecoming victory even more special.
Marinelli celebrated Saturdays 43-14 win over St. Joseph High of Trumbull with his players, fans and New Canaan High cheerleaders. But he was most happy to see his 7-week-old granddaughter Lucy, who made her first trip to Dunning Field. It was the same day he won his 250th game as Rams head coach.
This is her first game, the proud granddad said as other family members joined the celebration.
