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. He spoke about the game, the season and the team’s senior class that have helped turn the program around. Seniors Matthew Bradley, Husani Foote, Brandon Kuczenski, Jerome Love and Mick Pernell... »
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.

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... »
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... »
Naugy upsets Wilby, punches ticket to NVLs
NAUGATUCK — The Greyhounds picked a good time to be playing their best basketball of the season. The Naugatuck boys knocked off Kennedy and Wilby — two of the top three teams in the Naugatuck Valley League — at home on back-to-back nights earlier this week and have won four of six games. “We just... »
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... »
