Ansonia absolutely demolished Woodland 44-0 Friday night, a total blowout led by junior running back Tymir Taylor who went off for 178 yards and two touchdowns on just 18 carries. This wasn’t just another game, this was a statement. The Chargers improved to a strong 5-1 record, while the Hawks fell to 4-2 after taking a beating they won’t soon forget.
Two Weeks of Fury: Ansonia’s Unstoppable Revenge
You know that feeling when you’ve been stewing over something? Ansonia had *two full weeks* to think about their loss to Holy Cross. But even bigger, they had two weeks to prepare for a Woodland team that had done something truly shocking just last year: Woodland actually beat Ansonia in 2025, breaking a 20-year streak. Twenty years! That kind of loss leaves a mark, and the Chargers clearly came to Nolan Field with one thing on their mind: revenge. And boy, did they get it. They absolutely dominated a shorthanded Woodland squad from the opening whistle.
Taylor’s Untouchable Performance Ignites Ansonia’s Offense
Tymir Taylor was the man of the night, no question. The junior running back was unstoppable, hitting 178 yards and two scores before his night ended early in the third quarter. He set the tone immediately on the first drive, carrying seven times, including a clutch four-yard run on fourth-and-four to keep things alive. Then he broke a 22-yard run to set up first and goal, eventually taking it in from seven yards out. But the Chargers weren’t just a one-man show. Sophomore quarterback Mykah McNeil tossed a beautiful 31-yard touchdown to sophomore Xavier Docteur and a 12-yard score to sophomore Guel Geter. McNeil even powered in a one-yard sneak for a touchdown himself! Senior Ethan Blackwell got in on the action with a 44-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. It was an offensive clinic, plain and simple, with Jacob Branch adding two-point conversion runs and Antonio Pinto nailing both of his extra points without a miss.
The Chargers were up 14-0 in the first quarter, 22-0 in the second, and then McNeil hit Geter for that 12-yard TD right before halftime, with Blackwell punching in the two-point run to send Ansonia into the break with a commanding 30-0 lead. When Taylor broke free for a 65-yard touchdown run on the second play of the third quarter, it was game over. Woodland couldn’t even breathe, let alone score.
What’s Next for the Chargers
This 44-0 shutout, led by Taylor’s incredible performance, wasn’t just a win. It was Ansonia proving a point, reminding everyone who runs the show after that historic loss last season. The Chargers are now 5-1 and rolling with serious momentum. Next Friday, they hit the road to take on Oxford at 7 p.m. Can they keep this fire burning? You know we’ll be watching!
