Stamford Brothers Team Up In College Football STAMFORD, Conn. – For the first time since they started playing football, Stamford brothers Nick and Vin Cortese are making an impact at the same time for the same team. The Trinity Catholic grads are even lined up side-by-side on kickoff return and short yardage situations for the Catholic University of America football squad in Washington, D.C. “The best way to describe it is just fun,’’ said Vinny, a senior defensive tackle. “We’ll be looking at each other, and we’re laughing.

He picked up 225 yards for the game, an average of more than 56 yards per carry. “It’s the best feeling you can have in football to turn the corner and see nothing but green grass in front of you,’’ said Lockwood, a senior fro…

Darien Football Team Finds Fine Line Darien Football Team Finds Fine Line
Darien Football Team Finds Fine Line DARIEN, Conn. – It takes a lot of faith in the offensive line for a high school football coach to call for 25 pass plays per game. Darien coach Rob Trifone has it — and with good reason. The Blue Wave has a solid combination protecting senior quarterback Henry Baldwin. Seniors Matt D’Andrea and Ben Sickinger team with juniors Nick Kunze, Tommy Gasparino and Alex Gunn to provide one of the sturdiest set of blockers in the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference. In Saturday’s 44-21 over Fairfield Warde, Baldwin attempted 27 passes, and he threw 23 times in a week one win over Fa…
