SIMSBURY – They weren’t designed to be long pass plays but Manchester High receiver Jevin Frett made a few Simsbury High tacklers miss Friday night and had a career-best four touchdown receptions to help Manchester roll to a 32-13 win over Simsbury in the season opener for both teams at Holden Field. Frett caught […]

They were stopped twice inside the 20-yard line and gave up some big […]
AVON >> The Bloomfield High football team saw what it was going to do against Avon in film study and on the practice field. The Warhawks executed it nicely Saturday night.

AVON >> The season is just two games but the East Catholic High football team isn’t losing sight of one of its main goals: a berth in the CIAC playoffs.

He became just the fourth Canton athlete to win a Class S state […]
AVON >> The Avon High wrestling team could be peaking a bit too early. Two of the most important tournaments are upcoming.

It’s been a long time since there was a match between the Avon High wrestling team and Canton with the league championship on the line.

ENFIELD >> The Canton High girls basketball should enjoy a few days off this weekend. They’ve certainly earned it. The Warriors are completing an ambitious stretch of five games in seven days.
