Hand’s boys hockey team wears helmet stickers honoring two former players who died from drug overdoses, and one player’s family will visit the team this weekend. A sticker bearing “NK 5” remembers Nick Kruczek, who died days short of his 21st birthday in October 2013. Kruczek’s parents plan to be in attendance on Saturday […]

There will be no mud bowls Monday night in the CIAC football semifinals. The CIAC announced Monday morning that the two semifinals scheduled for grass fields, Sheehan at Ansonia in Class S and Weston at Rockville in Class M, will move to turf fields. Ansonia’s home game is in neighboring Derby at Ryan Field, and […]
BLOOMFIELD — He was everywhere on the field at Phil Rubin Stadium on Wednesday night in Blomfield’s 56-0 win over Stafford/East Windsor/Somers in the CIAC Class S football quarterfinals. Anthony Simpson scored four touchdowns, and his two interceptions, Nos. 9 and 10 on the year, turned the game squarely toward the defending-champion Warhawks. What has […]
The CIAC announced at noon Monday that all of Tuesday’s football quarterfinal games have been postponed to Wednesday. The announcement blamed “the continuing forecast of inclement weather and a need to allow host schools adequate time to prepare their facilities” for the change, which also pushes the semifinals, which had been set for Sunday afternoon, […]

Wilton earned the last spot available in the CIAC Class L football playoffs. Weston and the SMSA co-op grabbed them in Class M. And Sheehan, Plainville and Plainfield all joined the Class S party. 2019 CIAC PLAYOFF POINT STANDINGS: CLASS LL | CLASS L | CLASS M | CLASS S FINAL 2019 THANKSGIVING WEEK SCOREBOARD […]
Almost there. Really. We ran through each team’s CIAC football playoff picture Tuesday night… OK, Wednesday morning, a deeper look at where everyone stood. (And missed a couple. Apologies to Stafford.) Wednesday’s games clarified things: NFA and Ridgefield won to clinch Class LL playoff spots and round out the eight-team field. Wethersfield, New Canaan and […]
We’re getting a little closer to a clear CIAC football playoff picture. Though no one clinched a playoff spot from Tuesday’s nine-game slate, eight teams were eliminated from contention for the 32 spots. So… Six teams have clinched a ticket to the Class LL playoffs, with five teams alive for the other two. Four Class […]
In the postgame huddle, Tolland coach Scott Cady announced tonight’s 41-7 win will be his last game coaching the Eagles. #cthsfb — Kyle Maher (@KyleBMaher) November 27, 2019 Tolland football coach Scott Cady told his team that Tuesday’s 41-7 win over E.O. Smith will be his last game, according to reporters at the game. Cady has […]
Torrington has forfeited Friday night’s football game at St. Paul after “unsportsmanlike conduct (that) has occurred amongst players,” according to a press release from Torrington superintendent of schools Susan Lubomski. The release, relayed by athletic director Mike McKenna, didn’t specify the nature of the transgression but referred to the school’s athletic handbook: “The THS Interscholastic […]
After another stable week in the GameTimeCT football poll, we’ve got another week where some big matchups could produce some changes in the Top 10. No. 1 Hand meets preseason No. 6 Shelton at the Surf Club on Friday night. No. 9 Ridgefield gets another crack at a top FCIAC team, visiting No. 4 Greenwich […]
This week’s GameTimeCT Top 10 football teams are the same 10 football teams that were in last week’s top 10. There’s one little difference. Southington’s 35-7 win over previously unbeaten Simsbury has moved the Blue Knights up a spot, a season-high seventh, in this week’s poll. That comes at the expense of undefeated Ansonia, which […]
The big FCIAC games didn’t disappoint on Saturday, at least in the “how will they reshape the poll” sense (and on the field as well, in different ways). Darien’s 27-21 win Saturday at Greenwich flipped the Blue Wave over the Cardinals for third place in this week’s GameTimeCT Top 10. Coming down to the last […]
Preliminary boys hockey schedules are on the CIAC website. (Team-by-team schedules are somewhat complicatedly available here.) It’s an incomplete list: Some teams are missing a few games, some games appear to be double-scheduled, and some scrimmages aren’t marked as such. Here’s, then, a very-preliminary glance at some interesting matchups, which include rematches of all three […]
We’re working our way through the bye weeks for the teams in the GameTimeCT top 10. Four had this past weekend off. Five will sit out the fun in the week to come. The biggest top-10 game of the week didn’t disappoint, though, as Newtown’s 34-24, come-from-behind victory at Shelton kept the Nighthawks at No. […]
Last week’s top-10 matchup was one of two games that changed a few things in this week’s GameTimeCT Top 10 football poll. The other game that changed a few things, well, it nearly deprived us of a top-10 matchup this weekend. Shelton’s loss to Cheshire dropped the Gaels from fifth to, barely, 10th, just a […]
An alumni event on Thanksgiving weekend will honor Hall/Southington coach Brian Cannon, who lost his right leg to cancer this summer. Former captains Mike DiPietro and Chris Gambardella will host “Honoring Coach Cannon” on Nov. 30, 5-8 p.m., at Veterans Memorial Skating Rink in West Hartford, with games and light fare “for players, friends and […]
Three games had a seismic effect on the GameTimeCT football poll. There were the two matchups of top 10 teams, for sure. But there was also the first big FCIAC game of the season, which shook up the heart of the top 10 for the first time this year. Adam Biernat’s field goal at the […]
Hall senior Noe Ruelas set the state record Friday night with a 56-yard field goal at Chalmers Stadium. Despite the boot, Simsbury won the game 9-3 in overtime.

BERLIN — Berlin played nearly three quarters Thursday night without one of its best players, nearly two quarters without another. The Redcoats gutted out a 14-8 win over Tolland at Sage Park to open the 2019 football season, getting big plays at key moments, blocking a couple of kicks and getting a game-ending sack. “Going […]
