  "account": "Dae Sean Graves of Holy Cross broke the Connecticut career receptions record on Friday night during a game against Woodland. Graves had 221 career catches before the game, five shy of tying East Catholic's Joey Montalvo's record of 226. He finished the game with seven catches for 110 yards and 228 for his career. Graves also broke the state career record for touchdown receptions, surpassing Alex Jamele's mark of 50. The game was held scoreless in the first half due to dense fog, which made the foghorn an easy substitute for the official's whistle. Holy Cross came out strong in the second half, scoring 38 unanswered points and defeating Woodland 38-14. The win improved Holy Cross' record to 7-1 and kept them in the No. 2 spot in the Class MM playoff standings.",
