Weston Could Sneak Into States With a Win Weston Could Sneak Into States With a Win
Weston Could Sneak Into States With a Win WESTON, Conn. – Weston High’s football team hosts Joel Barlow on Thursday at 10 a.m. with more than bragging rights on line for the Trojans. Weston (6-3) needs a victory to have a chance to earn a berth in the Class S state tournament. Even with a victory, the Trojans need help to reach states. Rocky Hill and Haddam-Killingworth play Wednesday night against two of the top-ranked teams in Class S, so playoff prospects still could be within reach. Weston is currently seeded 10th in its class. States or not, the Trojans are a program on the rise under sixth-year coach Joe Lato. Weston, which l…

Barlow Football Looks to Upend Weston Barlow Football Looks to Upend Weston
Barlow Football Looks to Upend Weston EASTON, Conn. – Weston High’s football team has an outside chance to reach the Class S playoffs with a victory over Joel Barlow in Thursday’s annual Thanksgiving Day game. Although the chances are remote for the Trojans, the Falcons could eliminate them altogether with a victory over their archrival. Barlow (3-6) travels to Weston for a 10 a.m. kickoff. The Trojans (6-3) need a victory and help from some other teams to qualify for states. Their first order of business is to take care of Barlow, and it will not be an easy assignment. The Falcons, who trail the series, 5-4-2, can put points o…

State Berth Is on the Line for Darien Football State Berth Is on the Line for Darien Football
State Berth Is on the Line for Darien Football DARIEN, Conn. – Darien’s football team made it to the Class L semifinals last year in the state football playoffs. If the Blue Wave hope for a return trip to the playoffs, they must beat archrival New Canaan on Thanksgiving to earn it. Darien and the Rams bring matching 8-1 records into Thursday’s game at New Canaan for a 10:30 a.m. kickoff. The Rams are seeded sixth in Class L entering the game, and the Blue Wave are seeded 10th. Even if Darien wins, there is a remote possibility it could find itself on the outside looking in at the state tournament. The loser of Thursday’s game will be eli…

Norwalk-McMahon Set Up for Football Showdown NORWALK, Conn. – Norwalk High football coach Sean Ireland and A.J. Albano, his counterpart at Brien McMahon High, have taken part of the Thanksgiving Day rivalry both as players and as coaches.

(But it is possible the Bears could lose and still reach the playoffs.) In the way of reaching the promised land is a McMahon team that has lost three games by three points or le…
