Time will help Greyhounds develop

Season marks a different kind of success for ‘Hounds

The ‘Hounds lost a lopsided first set,... »
Rallies fall short for Hawks
BEACON FALLS — The Woodland volleyball team tore through the regular season undefeated in part due to its ability to come back from deficits. The Hawks’ inability to do it again ended their season in Monday’s Class M quarterfinals. Woodland made late charges in each of the three sets, the but the top-seeded Hawks... »
‘Hounds, Hawks spiked in quarterfinals
They play these Naugatuck Valley League tournaments for a reason, and no matter if a team is ranked first or eighth, every squad enters on the same playing field with an equal chance to win. No. 8 seed Torrington proved that theory last Friday in the quarterfinals of the NVL volleyball tournament as they... »
Local spikers fall in NVL quarterfinals
The Naugatuck volleyball team wasn’t necessarily expected to win its Naugatuck Valley League tournament quarterfinal against Seymour. But Woodland was certainly supposed to prevail. Instead, both local squads fell in Friday’s NVL quarterfinals and were knocked out of the tournament. The No. 7 Greyhounds lost to No. 2 Seymour at Seymour while No. 1... »
