The Governors weren’t positive…

ANSONIA — One wondered if the fence was going to stop Jadin Blackwell after No. 8 Ansonia’s 26-20 win over Woodland in an NVL football classic Friday night. He had eluded a few other containment efforts on the biggest play…
ANSONIA — Most football players get four years on their high school sideline. They get four years of coaching. They have four years to get better.
The Cafaro twins of Ansonia may come about as close to skir…
Law football coach Erik Larka has taken a leave of absence, according to a letter that went to team parents this week.
V.J. Sarullo, the school’s athletic director, confirmed Larka’s leave of absence and th…
Notre Dame-West Haven coach Joe DeCaprio teased that we should’ve given him a call last week, before a loss to Xavier on Friday.

BRIDGEPORT — He made the tackle to end the game at the 5 yard line, got up, sprinted toward the sideline, put his hands to his helmet, kept sprinting, dropped them, kept going.
Quinshon McKoy brought down J…
DERBY — There was no quit in the undermanned home team, so Seymour had to find a way to put the game away.
A couple of big defensive plays in the fourth quarter got the Wildcats the ball back, and a long to…
WEST HAVEN — Ken Strong Stadium may not be where Derrick Lewis and Desmond Lymon spend their time these days, but it’s still home. The two football coaches may not actually be brothers, but they’re family.

TRUMBULL — First Jaden Shirden cut to the right, gained almost 20 yards, somehow stayed in bounds, got away from one defender, cut back left, took it inside the 10. It seemed the whole Ridgefield defense was swarming the S…
ANSONIA — Derby got the ball to start Friday night’s NVL football game at Jarvis Stadium after No. 8 Ansonia deferred the choice. The kickoff went to the Derby 21. The returner got a few yards upfield before the Chargers’ …
TRUMBULL — They’ll meet at Cayden Porter’s house, three seniors at St. Joseph, and soon enough the football games will go on the television.
Other teams’ games, that is, film sessions for a defensive line t…
First it doubled the number of coaches on its sidelines, and then O’Brien Tech doubled its number of football victories Saturday.

Mark Altieri, Notre Dame-West Haven: Ran for three touchdowns in a 49-20 win over …
Nothing crazy happened. Nothing big changed. Now we’ll see what happens in a week. The GameTimeCT Top 10 remained intact, with five of the 10 taking the week off. The five who played had it relatively easy in the end, from No. 1 Hand’s 41-6 win at Norwalk to No. 7 Ridgefield’s 21-0 win to […]
CHESHIRE — For one half, Cheshire could do nothing wrong with the football and not much more wrong without it. That made sure the second half wasn’t the problem it could’ve been.
Cheshire scored on its firs…
TRUMBULL — Under the blue-gray of the fluorescent lighting at Insports on Wednesday, the sea of red shone brightly: the Masuk helmets, the red shorts, a few red undershirts, red shirts on football players and coaches.

Bullard-Havens was down 16-0 after the first quarter of a football game a little over a week ago against Vinal/Goodwin/Whitney Techs, its perfect start in question. The Tigers scored 44 points in a row from there.

SHELTON — They were two heavyweight teams throwing punches back and forth in the second half, until Newtown’s defense blocked a couple from Shelton.
Two big stops let the No. 5 Nighthawks take control and r…
NEWTOWN — When Newtown running back Miles Ricks takes a handoff and looks for a hole, it’s nice for him to see “33” in his own colors in front of him: senior fullback Jared Dunn, backing up the Nighthawks’ tough offensive …
We called Bill Riccio on Monday to ask what it was like for the New Haven Football Officials Association’s commissioner, rescheduling so many crews through all this Eastern Equine Encephalitis shuffling.

MIDDLETOWN — Seeing the Middletown slot receiver in motion, Maloney’s Jeremiah Williams jumped on a slant, ran the interception back, and turned around the entire afternoon.
Williams’ was the first of five …
TRUMBULL — One little disappointing part remains to this transition, in which St. Joseph junior Jack Wallace has taken the reins of the offense from a Division I quarterback without missing any apparent beat.

A week after Ridgefield’s win over New Canaan shook up last week’s GameTimeCT top 10 and moved the Tigers to No. 8, nothing changed in the top 10 of this week’s poll. Everybody won; everybody stayed where they were, including No. 11 Southington. Right under them, though? That part of the poll got a bit jumbled. […]
A very young Watertown football team last year started slowly but built to a good finish. That has carried over to a 3-0 start after Friday’s 35-0 win over Seymour.
