Norwalk Truckers fail to cross goal in Edison scrimmage
Norwalk High School and Edison played a scoreless first team scrimmage at Whitney Field as both teams showed progress from last week. Edison mixed passes and run plays led by Jeff Lake to Jim Unger with Corky Field and Keith LaVine providing a stronger ground game. Norwalk’s Charlie Rice directed the offense with Brad Thornton emerging as a key threat, but coach Bob Hart lamented the lack of a crossing, calling the scrimmage a disappointment despite improvements.
