MONROE — It was a game that neither Newtown or Masuk quite experienced yet this season.
A defensive struggle between two teams that haven’t had much issue scoring for most of the season was fitting when con…
That game everyone was pointing to in the preseason? It lived up to the hype, and it affected a few votes in the GameTimeCT football poll. Hand’s 21-14 win over Shelton on Friday at the Surf Club kept the Tigers in the No. 1 spot they’ve held all year. Three voters, though, swung their first-place […]
REDDING — Qualifying for the postseason is a relative norm for No. 5 Newtown, but this year feels extra sweet with the start the Nighthawks have enjoyed.

This week’s GameTimeCT Top 10 football teams are the same 10 football teams that were in last week’s top 10. There’s one little difference. Southington’s 35-7 win over previously unbeaten Simsbury has moved the Blue Knights up a spot, a season-high seventh, in this week’s poll. That comes at the expense of undefeated Ansonia, which […]
SOUTHBURY — The two teams couldn’t possibly be more familiar with one another, and the game was tight as can be for 79 minutes and seven seconds.
