Ireland To Call All the Shots in Norwalk Football Sean Ireland, who was offensive coordinator for former Norwalk High football coach Pete Tucci, got to call the plays. Now, he gets to call the shots. The 33-year-old former Norwalk High player was named the team's head coach at a news conference Friday at the school. He succeeds Tucci, who stepped down at the end of last season. Ireland has been an assistant for 13 years. "I've been waiting for this for a long time,'' Ireland said of his opportunity to become head coach. "Excited is an understatement.

Darien Y Hoops Keep Pulling McHugh Back Erin McHugh keeps getting lured back to basketball. Although the time commitment is challenging, the top girls scorer in Stamford High School basketball history just can't step away from the game. "It takes a lot of time to coach,'' says Erin, who coaches the Darien YMCA seventh-grade girls basketball team. "I wake up in the middle of the night and I think about these girls. Every year it keeps pulling me back." McHugh has been coaching in the Darien YMCA program almost since the day she graduated from Long Island University. She stopped for five years, then came back three years ago. She's…

Weston's Welsh Lost for the Season Weston High School senior Christina Welsh will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a knee injury in Tuesday's 48-32 win over New Fairfield, girls basketball coach Dan Rosen said Thursday. Welsh was the state leader in steals, the team's point guard and its second-leading scorer. "It's a devastating loss for us,'' Rosen said. "We haven't even had a chance to meet as a team and talk about it." Rosen said Welsh sustained injuries in the anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, and medial collateral ligament, or MCL, in her right knee. The injury occurred from a collision in the lane wi…

Staples Relay Takes Down School Mark A relay team from Staples set a school record in the 4x400 relay at last Saturday's Yale Invitational. Coach Laddie Lawrence believes, however, that the best is yet to come. The team of Jon Heil, Jack Roche, Sean Gallagher and Raphael Ray ran 3:24.9, breaking the record it set last year. The team finished first in a competition that featured some of the best teams from New England and the Mid-Atlantic states. "They only had 30 minutes after they ran the 4x200,'' Lawrence said. "If I hadn't run them in that, I expect that they would have gone even faster." George Birch replaced Roche on th…
