By Mike Scandura NEFJ Correspondent BARRINGTON – When Barrington lost star quarterback Alex McClelland with a left-shoulder injury early in the second quarter of Friday’s Division 2-B game against Westerly, there might have been reason to panic. “Might” was the operative word because coach Sandy Gorham plugged in seldom-used senior Ryan Van Ness who, along with running back A.J.
