Granby/Canton QB Joseph Lewie (green pinney) ran for a TD and threw a TD pass in Friday night’s shutout win over SMSA co-op.
FARMINGTON, Sept. 11, 2025 – Quarterback Sawyer Pequita ran for a game-high 153 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winning score with 2:43 remaining in regulation, to help Enfield beat Farmington, 28-23 in the season-opening contest for both schools on Thursday at George Bennett Field.
Farmington (0-1) cut Enfield’s lead to four points, 21-17, on a 27-yard field goal from Jonas Kelly with 52 seconds left in the third period.
Enfield (1-0) built a 21-7 lead thanks to a 26-yard TD run from Pequita, a four-yard TD pass from Pequita to Zane Boudreau and an 11-yard TD run by Jon Hewitt.
“We had our chances,” Farmington High head coach Chris Machol said. “Penalties killed us. (They) took two scores off the board on a punt return and kick return and stalled another drive. We also had two bad turnovers, one in the red zone (fumble).”
Farmington sophomore QB Mason Kiniry set a new school record for most completions in a single game – 29, erasing the previous record of 23 set by Jacob Conard against Plainville in 2019. Kiniry completed 29-of-38 passes for a career-high 299 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.
Only seven Farmington High players have thrown for 300 or more yards in a single game.
Joshuah Larkin caught nine passes for 117 yards and three touchdowns, which ties a school record for TD receptions in a single game. Nine other Farmington players have caught three TDs in a game with the most recent three TD performance coming in 2019 from Niko Bouzakis against E.O. Smith.
Larkin’s nine receptions in a single game falls one completion shy of the school record of 10 set in 2017 and 2019 by Dante Colagiovanni and Michael Gregory, respectively.
Larkin caught TD passes of 17, 30 and six yards from Kiniry.
Larkin’s six-yard TD reception with 19.7 seconds left cut the lead to five points. Farmington missed on the two-point conversion and Enfield recovered the onside kick to secure the win.
It was Farmington’s first game against Enfield since 2007.
Farmington returns to action next Friday with a game at NW Catholic that is scheduled to begin at 3:45 p.m. in West Hartford.
