Greyhounds bow out of states
NORWICH — The Naugatuck girls battled Norwich Free Academy in the opening round of the Class LL state tournament Tuesday and trailed, 31-20, at the half. But the No. 20-ranked Greyhounds came out slow in the third period as No. 13 NFA went on a 21-6 scoring spree in the third to pull away... »
Kingsley shoots Hawks past Eagles
BEACON FALLS — Tanner Kingsley isn’t new to the whole record-setting thing. He took a black and gold crayon and scribbled all over history during his unprecedented junior season as Woodland’s quarterback. It’s been two and half months since Kingsley threw his 51st and final touchdown pass to obliterate the old state record of... »
Hawks fall in NVL quarterfinals
WATERBURY — A second monumental upset of Naugatuck Valley League girls title contender Torrington was not to be for Woodland.

Naugy upsets Wilby, punches ticket to NVLs
NAUGATUCK — The Greyhounds picked a good time to be playing their best basketball of the season.

Uhl steps up as leader for Hawks
BEACON FALLS — Dave Uhl is a firm believer that his chinstrap-style facial hair makes him a better basketball player. “Without a doubt,” Woodland’s senior point guard says. “It’s all about look good, feel good, play good. I’m a big believer in that. I hope .” Those perfectly trimmed whiskers might be the... »
Naugy’s Foote a versatile weapon on the court
NAUGATUCK — Naugatuck forward Husani Foote grabbed a rebound last week and raced up the court towards the Naugy hoop. As he approached the basket, a Sacred Heart defender committed to guard him and Foote found a streaking Brandon Kuczenski, who converted the fast break with a layup. In a matter of seconds, everyone... »
Naugy clinches tourney bid on senior night
NAUGATUCK — It was only fitting that the four seniors who helped turn around the Naugatuck girls basketball team after missing the state tournament a few years ago played an integral role on senior night Tuesday as the Greyhounds defeated Sacred Heart, 46-21, to send Naugy back to the state tournament for the second... »
Woodland thrashes Seymour
SEYMOUR — Though the Woodland boys basketball team headed to halftime Tuesday night leading Seymour by 10, none of the Hawks felt particularly good about it. After all, they posted just 24 points and made only one field goal in the second quarter. Whatever happened inside the musty locker room at the break turned... »
Greyhounds even record, earn trip to states
WATERBURY — The Naugatuck boys basketball team returned to the .500 mark, clinched a trip to the state tournament and picked up a road win Tuesday night at Sacred Heart. Brandon Kuczenski scored a team-high 21 points and Husani Foote added 20 for Naugy in a 58-52 victory over the Hearts. With the win, the ‘Hounds... »
Hawks surge past Seymour
