SOUTHINGTON >> The past three seasons since Davina Hernandez took over the head coaching position of the Southington softball team, the players, parents and booster club has partnered with her to raise money for Lupus Awareness. Hernandez herself lives with Lupus and her “Dream Big with Davina Foundation” has raised over $20,000 in under three years […]
ROCKY HILL >> The 2015 season for the Rocky Hill boys lacrosse team was nearly perfect — not for its record, but for its accomplishments compared to the recent struggles the program had endured.

My boy @Tim_Dixon4 pic.twitter.com/pYpepVq72Y — Zach (@ZachBartolini) February 3, 2016 January wasn’t kind to Plainville’s boys basketball team. But February? February’s looking up.

Two days before Thanksgiving, Avon coach Jim Caouette and his staff knew their team’s chances at squeaking into the Class L playoffs had grown considerably dim. Thanks to the CIAC’s sanctions against Berlin, Avon (which defeated Berlin in the regular season) had lost an aggregate 20 playoff points. Now they were praying for a miracle that likely […]
ROCKY HILL >> In a must win to even have a shot at the Class S playoffs, the Rocky Hill football team – specifically the defense – got it done. Linebacker Patrick Sullivan sacked Cromwell/Portland quarterback Jarius Bailey in the end zone with 58 seconds left in the fourth quarter to give the Terriers a 9-7 […]

MIDDLETOWN >> The Middletown boys soccer team looked like it was going to notch its first win of the season Tuesday afternoon. It didn’t happen. But the Blue Dragons are certainly getting closer.

DIVISION I WEST Conard A large senior class returns from last year’s 4-6 team, including quarterback Declan Flaherty, who assumed the role at midseason. Phil Simplicio and Josh Agosto lead a seasoned line. Defense, led by Bobby Iwersen, Lucas Decelles, Kyle Pena-Green and Sequan Small should be improved. Team Preview Hall The Warriors […]

CROMWELL >> Jay Hickey leaned against the backstop at Fran Monnes Field, watching the RCP and Middletown American Legion baseball teams in their second exhibition game of the summer. But his thoughts quickly turned to last August. “I would have loved to get another shot against New Jersey,” Hickey said. Now, that’s a bold statement. […]
FARMINGTON>> The East Catholic boys lacrosse team has come a long way in the last five years. When coach Glen Boggini took over in 2011, his players then just wanted to win a game. Fast forward to Thursday and the Eagles have now won back-to-back Central Connecticut Conference titles. East Catholic took down top-seeded Farmington, […]
ROCKY HILL>> Entering its fourth season as a varsity program, the Rocky Hill boys lacrosse team had never beaten Newington – until now. After a 13-1 dismantling of the Indians in the first game of the season, the Terriers immediately knew they were part of something special. But why is beating Newington so important to this […]
BRISTOL>> Bristol Central softball coach Monica Hayes says she needs a new word for ‘resilient.’ But on Tuesday against Rocky Hill, it might have been the best way to describe her team. Trailing 7-4 in the ninth, the Rams scored three in the bottom of the inning to tie the game. Then Sarah Strilkauskas blasted an inside-the-park […]
WEST HARTFORD >> Northwest Catholic entered Tuesday afternoon’s game with Rocky Hill looking to accomplish a pair of goals, it took care of both and set itself up for a third.

MIDDLETOWN >> The scene has been repeated a thousand times, a zillion times. The winning players throw their gloves and hats in the air and jump all over themselves in wild celebration. The losing team hangs their heads and walks off the field in sadness. Such is life at championship games and it was played […]
MIDDLETOWN >> Either way, this was going to be an historic night at Palmer Field. And when the dust settled, it was Rocky Hill who took home its first state championship. The top-seeded Terriers tied it with a two-run rally in the bottom of the sixth and then won it in the seventh when senior […]
HIGGANUM >> Four times Haddam-Killingworth baseball coach Mark Brookes has been to state championship games and each time has come back the runner-up.

BRACKETS: CLASS LL | CLASS L | CLASS M | CLASS S Players to Watch Tori Ceballos, Sr., St. Joseph, First Base: Ceballos is batting .488 with 41 RBIs and 25 runs this season. A four-year starter, Ceballos just might end her career with a state title. The Cadets (22-1) are seeded third in Class […]
ROCKY HILL>> It was the Spencer Bunting show. The Rocky Hill senior captain did it on the mound and with the bat on Monday leading the Terriers past E.O. Smith, 7-2, at Rocky Hill High School. Bunting, the Rocky Hill starting pitcher, went all seven innings, allowed two runs and struck out eight. But where he […]
ROCKY HILL >> Rocky Hill used a four run sixth inning to pull away from Conard and win its second game of the season, 7-2, at a sunny, but blustery Rocky Hill High School on Thursday. All but two Rocky Hill starters scored a run and each batter reached base at least once. Spencer Bunting led […]
The high school softball season opens in just over a week (April 9, to be exact). Let’s take a look back at what happened last season, and what to look for in 2014 (although I am still in the process of getting back preseason forms from coaches). The Register will present its annual softball preview, […]
WALLINGFORD >> Winning a 19th state championship — and its third straight — serves as plenty of motivation for the Ansonia football team.
