NEW HAVEN - The Shelton football team started its season with a bang, defeating Hillhouse 30-0 Friday night at Bowen field.
Shelton senior running back Cole St. Pierre said the team was fired up and wanted to get off to a fast start and score on its opening drive.
St. Pierre capped a 61-yard drive with a 4-yard touchdown run, the first of his two scores.
After Shelton's defense forced a three-and-out, the Gaels marched down the field again and St. Pierre scored on a touchdown run of eight yards.
Quarterback Jackson Hyner also accounted for two touchdowns.
