Norwalk Blanks Stamford in Soccer Despite winning just once this season, Stamford High's boys soccer team has played well against some of the league's best teams.

Mickey Lione had a 30-year coaching career at Trinity Catholic, previously known as Stamford Catholic, and won a combined 731 games in baseball and ice hockey.
