Middletown Middies shuffle backfield for Fairfield clash
Middies coach Jack Gordon faces a depleted roster as he rebuilds the backfield for tonight's Fairfield game. After a rough Barnitz Stadium evening, the Cincinnati Roger Bacon loss left Donnie Howard out for the season, Keith Clements sidelined indefinitely, and Tim Herron out about three weeks. Gordon plans to use two defensive players to bolster the offense.
