By Peter Wallace TORRINGTON >> Torrington’s football team turned last week’s rough start against NVL-favorite Seymour into a 50-14 romp against Wilby Friday night at Torrington High School.

TORRINGTON >> As expected, Torrington girls basketball (9-3) romped, 61-29, over winless Wilby (0-13) Friday night at Torrington High School. But a ho-hum game becomes an opportunity to showcase a Red Raider coach whose teams are consistently this dominant in the Naugatuck Valley League, often regardless of innate talents. Mike Fritch, a 24-year veteran who […]
WATERBURY >> A week after both young football teams were crushed in their season openers, Torrington emerged from an iffy first quarter against Wilby Thursday night to administer a 48-7 Wildcat whipping at Waterbury’s Muncipal Stadium.

TORRINGTON >> Wilby’s boys basketball team whipped Torrington 80-43 Friday. Those who watched went away thinking the Wildcats’ two-point win over No. 10 Crosby a month ago was no fluke. Wilby, 8-3, took this year’s mandatory loss to No. 1 Sacred Heart in its season opener, then lost to Kennedy and Holy Cross, two other […]
BRASS Crosby Third-year quarterback Michael Marshall returns as one of the NVL’s most experience passers, giving the Bulldogs hope they can end a run of six losing seasons.

TORRINGTON >> Torrington High School’s baseball team polished off the NVL’s second-place Naugatuck Greyhounds at Dodd Stadium Saturday in a win featuring aggressive running on the basepaths. Monday, the Raiders (8-4) were back for their sixth consecutive win, running and bashing their way to an 8-5 win against a tougher Wilby team than its record […]
Everyone is a critic but one gentlemen who commented on our site suggested I get a new job, “pal.” Maybe this anonymous gentleman is right – maybe I should. Going 8-4, then 21-7 is not a very good percentage. So I guess I will have to try and do better for the semifinal round: SCC […]
WATERBURY >> Torrington boys basketball coach Eric Gamari broke an age-old coaching rule to give his Red Raiders (11-9; 10-9 NVL) extra incentive for their 68-65 win at Wilby High School (11-9; 11-8 NVL) Tuesday evening. He looked ahead. Then he shared the view with his team. “If we win, we play Kennedy in the […]
TORRINGTON >> Torrington High School’s boys basketball team (6-5) combined very bad and very good in an 83-77 loss to Wilby (9-3) that showed how close the Red Raiders are to going neck-and-neck with the top of the NVL.
