The Suffield co-op girls ice hockey had faced off with defending CCC champion Simsbury three times during the regular season. The result was three Simsbury victories.

GLASTONBURY – Seeding hadn’t mattered all week during the CCC girls basketball tournament and it didn’t matter in Thursday’s championship game, either. Defending champion E.O. Smith, seeded 14th this year, repeated at CCC champions thanks to a suffocating defense that propelled the Panthers to a 42-28 victory over No. 4 East Catholic in the […]

ROPE-A-DOPE
Many teams that begin their season 0-2, 1-4 and 3-6 can make plans elsewhere for mid-March. Not Fairfield Prep, which could trademark its way of building and teaching an inexperienced team, test…
The Norwalk girls basketball team finished last season with an unbeaten record and as the unanimous No. 1 team in the Top 10 poll. The Bears lost a few key pieces to graduation but bring back enough talent that voters stuck with them as No. 1 this preseason. They also have a new head coach: […]
MANCHESTER — The comparisons between Pomperaug junior Kate Wiser and former Staples standout Hannah DeBalsi are unavoidable.

CHESHIRE—There was no crazy comeback this time for the Cheshire softball team in a big game. A three-run first inning prevented that.
But that didn’t mean there weren’t tense moments for the Rams in their C…
St. Joseph completed an unbeaten regular season Friday with its 1-0 victory over Trumbull in the FCIAC championship game. The No. 1-ranked and top-seeded Cadets now take a 35-game win streak into the state playoffs where they will look to win back-to-back state championships. St. Joseph could, of course, be challenged by SWC champion and […]
The the latest Top 10 GameTimeCT softball poll remained largely unchanged as conference championship season got underway. The top six — St. Joseph, Masuk, Trumbull, South Windsor, Cheshire and North Haven — remained in their places as all survived the week without a loss. All 10 teams from last week remained in the poll. NOTEBOOK: […]
It was a much more straight forward week for the No. 1 team in the state. For the second week in a row No. 1 St. Joseph collected every single first-place vote to remain. The Cadets breezed through the comfortable part of their FCIAC schedule to improve to 18-0 this spring. St. Joseph is once […]
Masuk, Trumbull and St. Joseph sit a stop the GameTimeCT/Register Top 10 poll, and there is a realistic debate about who of three schools separated by 10 miles is the best in the state.
But the team which m…
Masuk’s win streak is now at 32 games with a 3-0 week and syphoned off a pair of first-place votes in the process to strengthen their grip on the top spot in the GameTimeCT Top 10 softball poll for April 14.

One week into the season and there was considerable shuffling inside and out of the GameTimeCT/Register Top 10 Poll. Masuk retains its position atop the standings behind a pair of steamrolling wins over FCIAC opposition, collecting 12 of 16 first-place votes. FCIAC rivals Trumbull and St. Joseph swap places after the Cadets were pushed to […]

GLASTONBURY — When E.O. Smith girls basketball coach Mary Roickle first laid eyes on her squad at the beginning of the season, the idea that it would be holding a CCC championship banner and trophy in February was inconceivable. “You always set it as one of your goals, but after the first three practices of […]
