The record also probably suggests it wasn’t a special season, and that’s probably unfair. Even at 17-5, with the most losses in a […]

MIDDLETOWN — After closing the quarterfinals with two innings in relief and tossing a complete game in the semifinals, some may have questioned whether Staples’ Chad Knight would take the ball in the CIAC Class LL championship game against Southington on three days’ rest. “There was no way (coach Jack McFarland) was not giving […]
MONROE — Under the sun of this June afternoon, one day before Masuk would hunt for another state title, Megan McFarland glided easily toward her mission. Her coach Leigh Barone, standing near home plate, drove softballs through a simulated seven innings and when she skied them toward centerfield there was McFarland quick to snare them. […]
