Rockets sweep up championship
NAUGATUCK — The Rockets swept the Panthers in a best-of-three series to claim the Lil Pal girls basketball title at City Hill Middle School.

Seniors lead turnaround for Greyhounds
MIDDLETOWN — Minutes after a gut-wrenching state tournament loss to Middletown last week, Naugy head coach Mike Wilson took a moment to reflect.

Woodland succumbs to Weaver’s pressure
BEACON FALLS — With about 6 minutes to play in last Saturday’s Class S state tournament second-round game, it looked like the Woodland boys were headed for their first appearance in the basketball quarterfinals since 2005. But the No. 9 Hawks saw their eight-point lead erased in a hurry by No. 25 Weaver, which... »
Greyhounds drop heartbreaker to Middletown
MIDDLETOWN — In a season filled with ups and downs, it was only fitting that the last game of the year featured the same emotions for the Naugatuck boys basketball team. Middletown’s Antonio White led all scorers with 19 points and made two free throws with 2.2 seconds remaining to lead the No. 15... »
Hawks hold off Saints
BEACON FALLS — As the final buzzer sounded on the Woodland boys’ first home postseason victory in eight years Tuesday night, a sea of white flooded the court.

Naugy boys dangerous heading into Class Ls
NAUGATUCK — With the boys state basketball tournament up next, Naugy’s recent string of victories has shown how dangerous the ‘Hounds can be. The Greyhounds (11-10) put the Naugatuck Valley League on notice last week with back-to-back wins over Kennedy and Wilby, the latter of which was ranked No. 6 in state at the time. Naugatuck made... »
Hawks turn focus to Class S tourney
BEACON FALLS — The Woodland boys continued their trend of either playing really well or pretty poorly against upper-level Naugatuck Valley League competition in last Saturday’s league quarterfinals. The fifth-seeded Hawks, who had never been ranked so highly in the NVL tournament, were manhandled by No. 4 Wolcott, 77-42, and made an early exit... »
