2013 NCHS Grad Alex Sigg Headed to Ohio Wesleyan

Alex Sigg, a 2013 New Canaan High School graduate and varsity football player here under Lou Marinelli, will head to Ohio Wesleyan University to study and play football, his family said. The 6’4”, 275- to 280-pound offensive lineman joins the Battling Bishops under head coach Tom Watts after a middle-of-the-pack finish in Division III’s North Coast Athletic Conference. Asked by NewCanaanite.com to talk about how his experience as a football player here in New Canaan helped create a foundation for him, Alex said: “Man, I have been through a lot with those guys they taught me everything, they’re the reason why I am the person [I am] today. I was taught to never give up, to work harder than anybody else, and I did. Once I got more of a leadership role on the field, I started to get more looks than I did my senior year.
