Waterbury, CT The Waterbury Knights 13U football team is suddenly back in the championship hunt after a major postseason shake-up rocked New England youth football. Worcester 13U was disqualified for allegedly using an ineligible player, a ruling that instantly removed them from championship contention and moved the Knights forward in the bracket.
