Quarterback Ryan Love threw two touchdown passes, first to Gabe Lesizza and then to Cole Stotler, and ran for two more scores to lead the offense.
The Ludlowe defense held Staples to just 38 yards of offense and two first downs in the first half, when the Falcons built a three-score lead.
The win was Ludlowe’s second straight against the Wreckers. Staples holds a 6-2 advantage head-to-head, but the Falcons broke through with a 28-21 win last year.
Ludlowe is now 9-0 and will host town rival Warde (5-3) at 6 p.m., Thanksgiving eve with a chance at an undefeated regular season.
Staples (7-2), which has unofficially clinched a Class LL berth, has its own test in the final game, hosting No. 6 Greenwich (6-2) at 10 a.m., Thanksgiving day.
