Warriors Football to Host Wethersfield in Season Opener

Kickoff is at 7 p.m. at Jack O'Brien Field.

Football has returned and the Windsor Warriors will kick off the 2011 season by hosting Wethersfield Friday night at Jack O'Brien.

Following a three-game preseason run in which the ups outweighed the downs, Windsor comes into the season playing in a re-aligned conference, and led by a high-powered offense.

Head Coach Rob Fleeting's squad will rely, in many instances, on the performance of his son, quarterback Rob Fleeting, and one of the top receivers in the state in Aaron Berardino.
