McMahon's Upset Bid of Staples Falls Just Short McMahon's Upset Bid of Staples Falls Just Short
McMahon's Upset Bid of Staples Falls Just Short NORWALK, Conn. – Brien McMahon High football coach A.J. Albano believes his team is close to turning the corner toward becoming a contender in the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference. To get to that stage, however, the Senators need to learn how to close out games such as Saturday’s 24-21 loss to Staples. “We played toe-to-toe with the No. 6 team in the state,’’ Albano said after Staples defeated the Senators, 24-21, on Robby Wolf’s 19-yard field goal with four seconds left. “We’re right there. We’re just as good as those teams. We just have to learn how to finish. They’ve b…

Staples Survives McMahon's Upset Bid Staples Survives McMahon's Upset Bid
Staples Survives McMahon's Upset Bid WESTPORT, Conn. – Staples High's 24-21 football victory Brien McMahon on Saturday night in Norwalk was not just about Robby Wolf's game-winning field goal in the final seconds, the brilliant play of quarterback Jack Massie or the juggling touchdown catch by James Frusciante that turned the tide in the Wreckers' favor. The victory in the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference game was as much as about pride, history and tradition. The Wreckers rallied from a 21-7 deficit with 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter before turning back the Senators on Wolf's 19-yard field goal…

Norwalk Boys Soccer Rallies to Tie Staples Norwalk Boys Soccer Rallies to Tie Staples
Norwalk Boys Soccer Rallies to Tie Staples NORWALK, Conn. – The Staples High School boys soccer team had a 2-0 lead in the second half on its home field with a defense that had surrendered just one goal all season. That scenario usually results in a win for the Wreckers — but not Friday afternoon against Norwalk. The Bears scored 22 seconds after Staples’ second goal and tied it with 5:33 left on a penalty kick by Nic Zuniga as the teams battled to a 2-2 in the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference game. Staples is now 5-0-1, while the Bears are 4-1-1. “We were really hoping to get a win,’’ said Zuniga, a senior. “We’…
