Patrizi poised to lead WRHS Volleyball
BEACON FALLS — The Woodland volleyball team returns just one starter from its 2009 Naugatuck Valley League championship squad. Luckily for the Hawks, that girl was the league’s top player and an all-area selection: Jessica Patrizi. Patrizi, a senior, will enter her third year as a varsity starter and is thought of by coaches... »
WRHS coach is wacky but wildly successful
Without saying this man’s name, I’m willing to bet almost any Woodland student or fan (even some from Naugatuck) can guess who this guy is by a simple description: He’s a short guy with buzz-cut hair and an often-scruffy beard.

Volleyball alums still got game, humor
BEACON FALLS — It’s “the legacy that keeps on returning,” as Woodland volleyball coach Jim Amato says—the seemingly-instinctual migration of the Hawks’ volleyball alumnae to compete in an annual tournament just before Thanksgiving. And after just a few points in the first matches of the night, one thing became obvious: Just as Pavlov’s dog... »
Woodland spiked from Class M tourney
MILFORD — The winningest season in Woodland volleyball history came to an end last Friday in the Class M quarterfinals, as the fifth-seeded Hawks dropped a 3-1 (25-12, 25-16, 23-25, 25-22) decision to fourth-seeded Jonathan Law.
