Seven years to the day since the Sandy Hook tragedy, the Newton Nighthawks pulled off some incredible last-play heroics. The game, which was almost moved because of the emotional impact surrounding the day, was one for the history books—the Nighthawks winning on a 36-yard strike to win the Connecticut Class LL State Championship. The emotions captured after the touchdown was sports at its best.
