MONROE — They may be young in spots, small in spots, inexperienced in spots, but Masuk’s football team grew up a bit Friday night at Benedict Field.
Masuk scored on four of its five first-half possessions, marched for another touchdown to open…
STRATFORD — It first seemed only a matter of time before Notre Dame-Fairfield opened the floodgates at Bunnell on Thursday night, that the Lancers would score in bunches and put away their SWC girls soccer game.
They did, eventually, winning 3…
BRISTOL — If Seymour’s football team didn’t have someone in defensive position Saturday at St. Paul’s McPhee Field, someone was on his way.
“They were able to stop the inside stuff and run to the outside stuff,” St. Paul coach Jude Kelly said …
BRIDGEPORT — He took a fumble back 60 yards to help Amity take a win back to Woodbridge on Friday night, and Spartans senior Joe DiGello was still pretty excited afterward.
“I’ve been waiting since Thanksgiving for this one, dude,” DiGello sai…
MONROE — Soccer has taken Kacey Lawrence to some pretty cool places, but Thursday night at Benedict Field, she begins a campaign back at home with her Masuk family.

MILFORD — Great River Golf Club may be home to Milford’s Ben James, but like the businessman who spends his time on the road, sometimes coming home means getting reacquainted. He still shot a 4-under 68 Tuesday, one off his personal best over the track, to lead the Northern Junior Championship by a stroke after […]
MERIDEN — He’d played some doubleheaders before, but Jeremy Mercier didn’t remember ever playing a 13-inning game before Tuesday night at Ceppa Field. He helped it get that far, and he helped make sure it didn’t go any further. Mercier pitched six and two-thirds innings of relief and hit a grand slam in Southington’s 5-0 […]
FAIRFIELD — Her opponent had thrown down an eagle on the toughest hole on The Patterson Club golf course, then cut Mia Scarpati’s lead a little more, and then Scarpati found herself in a nasty thicket of rough off the 15th tee in the girls fin…
MERIDEN — There couldn’t be a weirder path to a no-hitter than the one Cheshire’s American Legion team took Monday at Ceppa Field. That path will take them right back here Tuesday for the state Southern Super Regional final, a rematch against Southington. If Cheshire wins, they’ll play again Wednesday. Cheshire topped Naugatuck 13-0 in […]
BRISTOL — It wasn’t as if Lower Sussex Little League of Delaware was ripping the ball off Fairfield. Its 13 hits included six that didn’t leave the infield. A baker’s dozen little cuts ended the Connecticut champions’ summer Thursday afternoon at Breen Field, a 3-1 win for the team from Frankford, Del., at the Little […]
TRUMBULL — A complete game was in sight for Trumbull pitcher Mike D’Agostino on Sunday, but he was going to have to work efficiently to do it.
Fortunately for D’Agostino and his team, that’s how he’d pitched all day. They kept their season goi…
NAUGATUCK — Wallingford fell behind early in the Section 2 Little League Majors championship game Saturday morning at Peter J. Foley. But Kevin Milewski, called on to pitch early in relief, said his team wasn’t worried. “We know our bats are going to warm up. As it did,” Milewski said, looking back to the scoreboard. […]
NAUGATUCK — The ball that Avon’s Connor Lavore hit in the top of the third might not have come down yet, and Shelton American knew staving off Little League Majors elimination wasn’t going to be a cakewalk. Shelton American bounced back, scored four in the fourth to regain the lead, then held off another Avon […]
NAUGATUCK — The hits started right away for Wallingford’s Majors Little League team Thursday night at Peter J. Foley Field, a good piece of hitting starting off with four hits in the first six batters.
The hits stopped maybe a little sooner th…
WINDSOR — Everyone on the infield touched the ball once for Fairfield’s Little League Majors softball team in the sixth inning Sunday night at Welch Park.

They’re state champi…
NAUGATUCK — It felt like nothing would fall in for Shelton American Little League on Thursday night, and then Friday night, again, not much was dropping in.
Then everything started falling right for Shelton American, keeping the carousel turni…
STRATFORD — Among the last three left on DeLuca Field on Thursday night were three softball players familiar with the territory, used to playing big high school tournament games there.

Recaps: CLASS L | CLASS M | CLASS S Quite a day of lacrosse Saturday at McMahon’s Jack Casagrande Field: a comeback, a spectacular set of stops, and a near-comeback for the ages.

STRATFORD — St. Joseph turned two double plays in the first two innings at DeLuca Field, and a three-run rally in the top of the fifth sparked the Cadets to a 4-2 win over Granby in Thursday’s CIAC Class M softball semifinals.
The ninth-ranked…
CHESHIRE — It’s not quite birthright for St. Joseph boys lacrosse to play in the CIAC Class S final, but over the past decade, it has been nearly automatic. Nearly.
With Wednesday’s 14-7 semifinal win over Granby at Cheshire’s Alumni Field, th…
CHESHIRE — Their quarterfinal was a lot closer than they expected and certainly wanted. The New Fairfield Rebels made their CIAC Class M boys lacrosse semifinal a lot easier on Wednesday at Cheshire’s Alumni Field.
The top-seeded Rebels contro…
WEST HAVEN — They waited. They waited out the off-speed stuff, waited for a fastball. They waited two years for another chance at a state softball championship.
Masuk earned that chance with a 20-hit outburst Tuesday at Biondi Field, beating u…
NEW BRITAIN — They know the tradition. They knew it’d been a while since their team won a State Open. Danbury’s boys track and field team was happy to change that Monday at Willow Brook Park.
The Hatters won three events, including the 4×400 r…

The defending-champion Nighthawks (16-5) will face fifth-seeded New Fairfield on Thursday i…
FAIRFIELD — Some have only been part of it for a year, some for a little longer, but most not for very long.
Still, it’s a long-running routine: Come the end of May, Fairfield Prep will find itself playing for an SCC boys lacrosse championship…
