DARIEN — In a midseason match between archrivals next to each other in the standings, Tuesday’s contest between the Darien and New Canaan girls soccer teams came down to one simple difference.
The Rams were just better.
New Canaan’s Olivia Bog…
DARIEN — It doesn’t have to be pretty.
But, by winning scrums in front of the net and scoring generally ugly goals, Darien was able to get the job done Monday, defeating rival New Canaan 6-0 at home.
“(We had) four in the first half,” Darien c…
NEW CANAAN — Greenwich’s start to Saturday night’s showdown against FCIAC football rival was like a dream, as it scored 21 points during the first 5 minutes, 16 seconds of play.
For the Rams, it was a nightmare.
A lightning fast beginning, in …
NEW CANAAN — Nobody is going to confuse the New Canaan offense with the triple-option rushing attack of Georgia Tech.

Like New Canaan, Greenwich possesses a potent passing game and stingy defense, so something certainly has to give when these FCIAC football rivals square off in Saturday night’s much-anticipated showdown at Dunning Field.
The matchup under the…
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 […]
NEW CANAAN — Stopping the high-flying New Canaan offense is a tall enough task.
But when you give the Rams the ball in plus-field position four times in the opening quarter, it’s downright impossible.
New Canaan turned several Westhill special…
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 […]
TRUMBULL — Friday was the New Canaan football team’s second trip north to the town of Trumbull in the first three weeks of the season.

NEW CANAAN — Each game of Westhill’s 3-0 sweep over New Canaan followed a pretty similar blueprint.

That composure …
NEW CANAAN — During a pregame ceremony honoring late New Canaan assistant coach and former player Jason Cooper, Rams senior Quintin O’Connell could barely contain his emotions.

TRUMBULL — The St. Joseph football team is a reoccurring nightmare for New Canaan.
Last season the Rams started the year ranked No. 1 in the state and lost by three in a shootout with the Cadets.
Saturday, New Canaan once again sat at No. 1 in…
TRUMBULL — Phil Pasmeg said he knew he would play. An injury made him questionable for this opening weekend showdown with New Canaan, but no, the senior St. Joseph star said it was more of a misdirection.

NEW CANAAN — Garrett Braden had to be patient. After seeing three of his teammates commit to Division I programs in a 24-hour period, the rising senior started wondering when his time would come. It took a little while longer, but the 6-foot-2, 215-pound defensive end/outside linebacker has found a home with Rice University at […]
NEW CANAAN — It’s tough to learn a ton during the abbreviated spring sessions in high school football, but if there’s one thing that New Canaan made clear in the 11th Annual Brian Wilderman Memorial Red and White game Friday afternoon, it’s th…

FAIRFIELD — You don’t win 76 games in a row without a few close calls.
So, what’s the secret to pulling off those nail-biters? In Darien coach Jeff Brameier’s opinion, it’s the seniors.
It took all of them Wednesday, as top-seeded and top-rank…
NORWALK — Interviewing a teary-eyed coach following a state playoff game is no rare occurrence in high school sports. That coach being on the winning side however, isn’t something seen every day. According to New Canaan coach Kristin Woods, it’s the first time she’s welled up following a win, but after defeating top-ranked Darien 12-11 […]
