While Cheshire started quickly, it was the …
WOODBRIDGE — Both the Amity and Foran girls soccer teams are becoming accustomed to playing on the road. With each team playing its first handful of games away from the friendly confines of home, the coaching staffs are hoping that experience …
WEST HAVEN — Seth Davis and his Amity volleyball team are still trying to figure out the 2018 squad. With as many as four positions still to be finalized. Davis is looking to see who steps up to fill those roles.
One role he does not have to w…
WEST HAVEN — Three feet. That is all which separated West Haven from an opening day victory over North Haven. Don’t think the Westies forgot to use that as motivation all week.
Taking their frustrations out on Hamden, the Westies picked up the…

WEST HAVEN — Heading into Friday evening’s Southern Connecticut Conference tilt, both the West Haven and North Haven football teams knew they would have to establish new identities with an abundance of stars graduated from both …
Three years have flown by for Abby Harbinson. The rest of the Southern Connecticut Conference may beg to differ.
With one final year of high school ahead of her, Harbinson will have the task of leading the Amity volleyball team deep into the p…
HAMDEN — Baseball is a funny game. Just one break can turn an inning or a game around. Both the Bethel and Hamden American Legion baseball teams saw that Saturday. With Bethel pitcher Kyle Roche holding Hamden scoreless through four innings and seemingly on his way to a quiet fifth, a would be second out […]
Becca Johnson has always been a very good softball player. Who knew one small opinion would help turn her into a great player. Through eighth grade, Johnson was always a right-handed hitter and solid position player. Taking the advice of her travel softball coach, Neil Swanchak, Johnson turned to the left side in the batter’s box, went […]
HAMDEN – With the outs slipping away and Hamden about to take a firmer hold on the top spot in Zone II, North Haven’s David Christoforo had seen enough. Sitting on a fastball from Hamden pitcher Tyler Osborne, Christoforo got exactly what he wanted and delivered a go-ahead grand slam in the sixth inning as […]
STRATFORD – While the rest of Zone II is either separating its way to the top, or falling to the bottom, two teams are hovering in between. Those two teams, East Haven and Stratford, met at Penders Field Saturday morning. With a total of just seven hits in the game, Stratford Post 42 did just enough offensively, and rode […]
WEST HAVEN – Brendan Kirck has had his share of battles with Hamden. As a pitcher at Notre Dame-West Haven, Kirck and the Green Knights have seen first-hand how explosive Hamden’s lineup can be. Kirck now gets to enjoy that lineup on the same side of the field. Scoring in each of the first three […]
WEST HAVEN — Amity junior Elizabeth Brownfield could not have felt any worse than when she was doubled off second base to stymie a Spartans threat in the sixth inning. Brownfield did not have to wait long to turn devastation into elation.
Foul…
WOODBRIDGE – Sometimes all it takes is one swing to get a team going on offense. Amity’s Sebastian Formica provided that jolt. With the game tied, Formica led off the bottom of the fourth inning with a long homer to left, and Amity followed by sending 12 batters to the plate, scoring eight times, to […]
HAMDEN – The Hamden baseball team did not finish the season the way it would have liked. Losing its final two regular season games and a Southern Connecticut Conference contest in succession, the Green Dragons managed to score just four runs in those three games. All was forgotten Tuesday afternoon when 14th-seeded Hamden pounded 14 […]
WEST HAVEN — There were many different factors which could have motivated the North Haven softball team.
The fact the Indians were swept by Amity during the regular season could have been one. Or the fact North Haven never won a Southern Conne…

Fallacaro did just that as his single with one out in the bottom of the sixt…
Amity High is known for its championship pedigree. Colin Roy has had no problem fitting in. Involved in championship swim meets since his freshman year, Roy has more than made a name for himself. Four years after he started at Amity, Roy leaves where he started, not only participating in championship meets, but winning them. […]
HAMDEN — The last time Notre Dame and Hamden met, it was clear to see that Green Knights’ coach Don Martone was less than pleased with the play of his team. What a difference three weeks make.
Behind an offensive barrage and a stellar relief a…
HAMDEN — It is starting to feel like the postseason in Woodbridge. With the Southern Connecticut Conference and state tournaments right around the corner, the Amity softball team is peaking at just the right time.
Behind four hits from Dani No…
WOODBRIDGE — There is a time during each season when a team finds its feel-good place. The Amity baseball team has experienced this over its brilliant run over the last decade.

WOODBRIDGE — While the calendar says April, it was not hard to think Thursday afternoon’s contest between Fairfield Prep and Amity could be a playoff preview. Facing each other for the second time this season, the game was again decided by one run. And again, it was Fairfield Prep which came out on top. Not […]
MILFORD — The Guilford baseball team may have been late to its tilt against Foran due to a broken down bus, but the Indians did not waste any time getting started.
Despite the game’s start being delayed 35 minutes, Guilford was on its game fro…
EAST HAVEN — In their first meeting, Stamford and East Haven combined for 28 runs in an East Haven victory. Fast forward two weeks and the hits and results were just about the same.

WEST HAVEN — Hamden pitcher Tyler Osborne likes the makeup of his team. The senior particularly likes the way each teammate accepts and performs in their role.
