FAIRFIELD — It’s hard for head coach Kevin O’Hara to hold back a smile when talking about his team. The Falcons hold a 6-1 record as of Monday and are one of the top teams in the competitive FCIAC. And oh yeah, this is best start in the program’s history. But it’s not just the […]
FAIRFIELD — Not even two week’s removed from a 1-0 loss to Staples, and the Fairfield Ludlowe girls’ soccer team looks like a completely different squad.

STAMFORD — After putting up a combined 36 points in the first two games of the season, and coming off a less than impressive victory against Wilton, the Staples High football team was looking to get back on track. Saturday afternoon’s road contest against Westhill provided the perfect outlet. Led by senior quarterback Jack Massie, […]
FAIRFIELD — As Duncan DellaVolpe made his way off Tetreau-Davis Field Friday evening, he was able to breathe a sigh of relief. It was a breath that not only signified a hard-fought 13-7 victory over Trinity Catholic, but one that had been a long wait coming; almost a year’s wait. The Mustangs’ win over visiting […]
WESTPORT – Head coach Amanda Parrish still remembers her high school cross country days at Staples High School.

She has […]
WESTPORT — There was no containing Amelia Brackett’s excitement late Monday afternoon. The senior outside hitter was all smiles after the Wreckers defeated Fairfield Warde 3-0 (25-16, 25-11, 26-24) to improve to 5-0 on the girls’ volleyball season. “I think we’re doing really well,” Brackett said. “We’re undefeated so I think that’s really awesome.” Brackett’s […]
FAIRFIELD >> A little before 3 p.m., Ted Boynton walks across the cement school parking lot at Notre Dame-Fairfield High School. With a clipboard, folder and packet gripped in one hand, Boynton is ready for Tuesday afternoon’s football practice. He has a game plan. He makes his way to a gate at the end of […]
FAIRFIELD >> It was the type of play you dream of making when you’re a little kid. With the clock winding down and his team trailing by four points to Fairfield Prep in front of a couple thousand fans at Alumni Field, St. Joseph’s Jordan Vazzano took the snap, stepped back and heaved a Hail […]
Here’s video from Mary Albl of tonight’s game-winning touchdown from pass from Vazzano to Pedersen in the St. Joseph vs. Fairfield Prep game. St. Joseph win 36-34. Full game story to follow. And the play from another angle, via St. Joseph’s football team. (No sound).
WESTPORT — Exactly a year ago the Staples girls’ soccer team was still in search of their first win. Flash forward to 2013 and Thursday’s FCIAC game against a tough Fairfield Ludlowe squad. The Wreckers displayed growth, maturity and a stingy defense in a 1-0 victory to improve to 3-0 on the young season. “It’s […]
FAIRFIELD — There wasn’t much hesitation in Julia Delaney’s voice as she chose the right word to describe the way the 2012 soccer season ended. “I would definitely call it a slump,” she said. “It just went downhill.” After starting last fall with nine straight shutouts and boasting an imposing record on paper, the Fairfield […]
WESTON >> With a new quarterback under center for Oxford, the Wolverines’ offense needed a little extra time to get things going in their season-opener on the road Thursday afternoon.

MILFORD >> Junior quarterback Jake Kasuba and the Foran football team wasted no time Wednesday evening sending an opening statement where the center of their strength is this season.

FAIRFIELD — After a season that saw the Fairfield Warde cross country team end with a 15-3 record, highlighted by both the girls and boys team’s placing fifth at the FCIAC Championships, a strong Class L showing and qualifying for the CIAC State Open, it’s safe to say, expectations are high entering this fall. “I […]
By Mary Albl WESTPORT — Ready or not, the Staples High football team will get a pretty good diagnosis of themselves come Wednesday evening. The Wreckers open up the season on the road against Class LL state champion Xavier in Middletown. Staples enters the fall still trying to figure out its identity and personnel after […]
WESTPORT — The memories of Aug. 28, 2012, still play in Caroline Koenig’s mind. The car coming. The mirror smacking her right shoulder, the sheer force sending her to the ground. The back tire running over her leg. The road covered in blood. The orange hospital mat. Fast-forward almost a year later. It’s an […]
