NEW BRITAIN—The long wait for the Hall boys soccer team is over.
Hall has not played for a state championship since 1983 and not won it all since 1980.
The No. 2 Warriors ended the first streak by beating CCC rival No. 19 East Hartford 2-0 in …
DANBURY — East Hartford goalie Julio Argueta probably wanted to crawl into a cave after a miscue led to a goal in his team’s Class LL quarterfinal against Danbury Saturday, a huge moment that threatened to decide the contest.
His teammates pro…
FAIRFIELD — On Thursday afternoon Fairfield Prep wanted to extend one of the best boys soccer seasons in its school history.
East Hartford had different ideas.
Two goals from Robert Sam helped the No. 19 Hornets pull off a 3-0 upset of the No….
FARIFIELD — Robert Sam needed less than three minutes to give East Hartford the lead against Fairfield Ludlowe in the first round of the Class LL boys soccer tournament. In turn, it left ample time for the Falcons to find an equalizer and exte…

I have been a fan of uniforms for as long as I have been watching sports and it turns out, others are just as fascinated. I began writing about baseball uniforms several years ago on the HearstCT Baseball Blog and found out people are super into it. GametimeCT provides the perfect platform to relaunch Uni-Browse […]
EAST HARTFORD — With the cameras rolling and the tape recorders running, Southington defensive back Matt Thompson let the assembled media take a trip down memory lane, even if it was a place he never wants to visit again. Not long after his three fourth-quarter interceptions keyed the visiting Blue Knights to a 42-27 victory […]

Since losing its No. 1 ranking earlier in the season, St. Joseph and Shelton have been neck-and-neck in ranking. The Hogs have maintained a small edge at No. 4, but no longer as Week 8 dawns. Shelton, spurred by its 28-24 victory over unbeaten SCC Tier I rival North Haven, has clipped St. Joseph for […]
It was an eventful Week 6, despite only a third of the state playing games while the remaining leagues took their mandated bye weeks. Bristol Central upset Maloney and North Haven rallied to beat Brookfield in an SCC-SWC clash of unbeatens. But none of the three Top 10 teams that played last week lost and, […]
With all of last week’s Top 10 teams winning their Week 4 games, it should come as no surprise that there were minuscule changes to the Top 10 heading into Week 5. Darien remained No. 1, although (hrm…) it lost two first-place votes while No. 2 Greenwich picked up one. No. 3 Hand remained steady with […]
It took an extra week this time, but Darien is — once again — the No. 1 football team in all the land. The Blue Wave turned in a strong defensive effort, holding QB David Summers and St. Joseph to a mere touchdown in a thorough and impressive 22-7 road victory. While Darien picked up […]
SOUTH WINDSOR — The intention was to put the ball in the hands of his teammates, emphasizing his arm instead of his legs as the season launched Friday afternoon. But Raquan Tompkins couldn’t help but tuck the ball and bolt. A swath of open turf and the East Hartford junior was off. “When I see […]

BRIDGEPORT — Bassick began Friday night’s Division I Tournament game against visiting East Hartford with a flurry, scoring the matchup’s first 10 points.

STORRS — With an entire season to put together a recruiting class, UConn football coach Randy Edsall headed into some areas where he enjoyed success during his first stint at the helm of the Huskies.
