HADDAM >> Woody Hayes would have been proud. The late Ohio State coach, a believer in the three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust offense, would have enjoyed Haddam-Killingworth’s 49-32 win over the SMSA/University/Classical cooperative of Hartford Saturday night at H-K High. That’s because H-K ran 69 plays from scrimmage, every one of them on the ground, to the tune of […]

ELLINGTON – The rest of the track and field teams in the North Central Connecticut Conference are probably not very happy with the residents of the town of Canton. Why? The Canton High boys track and field team won four consecutive NCCC Tournament championships from 2010-13 without having a track and field facility on campus. […]

But following what can […]
