Notre Dame-West Haven QB1 Matt Piechota comes into the 2022 season ranked inside the top 10 amongst Connecticut high school quarterbacks. The senior threw 11 touchdowns in his first six games last season, bringing the Green Knights to a 3-3 record. Despite that .500wp% those three NDWH losses came for a combined total of just 15 points.
Peichota was a possible All-State contender in ‘21, but he fell to an injury in the opening drive against the West Haven Blue Devils in week 8. After that injury he just wasn’t the same. Piechota would end his season throwing just three more TDs compared to four INTs, losing three games.
Nevertheless the Green Knights are dangerous when they have a healthy Peichota in that QB1 slot as he comes in ranked as the 8th best QB in CT, according to GameTimeCT. The #1 green jersey is set for the 2022 season opener on Friday. The game is played at home against cross town rivals, the West Haven Blue Devils.
