Weston Boy's Swim-a-thon Makes Waves Weston sixth-grader David Gelfand was more than pleased with the turnout for his benefit Swim-A-Thon Saturday.  "We were expecting 40 or 50, and I think it will end up being around 60 or 70,'' the 11-year-old said.

Stamford Baseball Falls to McMahon Stamford Baseball Falls to McMahon Stamford Baseball Falls to McMahon

"I think McMahon is one of the top teams in the league,'' Kelley said. "Their shortstop (Bryan Daniello) is one of the best around. The way we battled — it felt like it was a playoff game."

Alex Petrides got the win for McMahon (2-0) with 1 1/3 innings of flawless relief by Bryan Danie…
