Klein Pulls Away Early in Buildup Opener Klein Pulls Away Early in Buildup Opener Klein Pulls Away Early in Buildup Opener
Klein Pulls Away Early in Buildup Opener Matt Klein pulled away from the pack about a 1 ½ miles into Sunday's Boston Buildup 10-kilometer race in Norwalk. The 16-year-old from Trumbull never looked back until he crossed the finish line, winning the race in 33:39 and beating the closest competitor by 80 seconds. "I really wasn't sure about the competition,'' said Klein, a junior at the Hopkins School in New Haven. “I wasn't sure who would show up." Klein beat a field of 361 finishers in the largest race ever for the Buildup. Sunday's run kicked off the 33rd edition of the series, which consists of four races at progressively long…

Greens Farms Packs The House for Charity Greens Farms Packs The House for Charity Greens Farms Packs The House for Charity
Greens Farms Packs The House for Charity The nearly 500 fans that attended Greens Farms Academy's Pack The House night for Saturday's game against Brunswick also stuffed the cash box. The fans raised more than $1,600 for Partners In Health, a Boston-based organization that delivers high-quality medical care in 12 countries. And even more contributions will be collected from donor pledges based on the number of people who attended the basketball game. "We're so grateful for the turnout,'' said Westport senior Alexandra Damianos, president of the school's Community Service Board. "We didn't know what to expect, and it was fantastic."…

Brunswick Falls to Greens Farms Brunswick Falls to Greens Farms Brunswick Falls to Greens Farms
Brunswick Falls to Greens Farms Greens Farms Academy had never beaten Brunswick in boys basketball before this season. Now, the Dragons have done it twice in a month. Saturday's 36-33 victory was ugly from start to finish, but GFA survived to improve to 4-3. Sean Obi scored 18 points and grabbed 24 rebounds to lead the Dragons. "We had a lot of opportunities," Brunswick's Billy Murphy said. "You're going to off-shooting nights. That shouldn't be an excuse for losing." Donqutae Robinson scored 11 points to pace the Bruins, while Alex Gatinella added nine. Murphy scored six as the Bruins built leads in each half only to see…

Greens Farms Turns Back Brunswick Greens Farms Turns Back Brunswick Greens Farms Turns Back Brunswick
Greens Farms Turns Back Brunswick Greens Farms Academy had never beaten Brunswick in boys basketball before this season. Now, the Dragons have done it twice in a month. Saturday's 36-33 victory was ugly from start to finish, but GFA survived to improve to 4-3. Sean Obi scored 18 points and grabbed 24 rebounds to lead the Dragons. "I told them before the game we were going to be in for a fight,'' first-year coach Doug Scott said. "I knew it was going to be a defensive battle." The Dragons struggled to hit from the perimeter all game. The biggest score, however, may have been Christian Papic's three-pointer with 5:14 left in …
