Londonderry's Griffin headed to UConn

Patience paid off for Ryan Griffin.

The Londonderry running back, tight end, quarterback and defensive back held off on committing to the University of New Hampshire, which was so high on him it offered him a scholarship last spring, said Griffin. He knew other offers would come. They eventually did, and the 6-6, 220-pound senior accepted a scholarship to play football at the University of Connecticut.

Enter Londonderry. While the Lancers fell flat against a vastly improved Manchester West squad, they were able to move the ball. Moreover, they should be ready to make amends for an uninspired second half last week.
