Press Clippings: What's Going On...

Here I go again, scouring the bowels of the Internet so you don't have to.

And it's easier than it looks. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of weekly newspapers in SWC towns that are on top of their Web games. In one way, it's sad. No, in all ways, it's sad. Should the family of, say, a Pomperaug player have to rely just on the News-Times and Republican-American Web sites it they want to find out how their brother, grandson, cousin, or nephew did?

No.

Anyway, here's what's out there right now:

• Panthers off to strong start (Monroe Courier)
• Homecoming is a happy one (Redding Pilot)
• Devils prevail over Newtown (Stratford Star)
• Homecoming is lopsided win (Weston Forum)

By the way, am I missing any links to weekly newspapers? Scroll down a bit and let me know. I would love to add whatever is missing.

Week 5, Kinda Blah!

I'm looking at the Week 5 SWC schedule, and nothing really stands out as a game of the week.

If you had a chance though, which game would you see?

New Fairfield at Weston?

Newtown at Brookfield?

Notre Dame at Pomperaug?

I may his New Fairfield at Weston on Saturday, since I have a class reunion picnic from 12-2 p.m. and it's a 3 p.m. game.

From the Wayback Machine: New Milford-Weston Photos (Finally) Up

My apologies to everyone who I've left in the dark, as I've tried to catch up after vacation, added physical therapy to my daily routine, and whatnot.

But the good news is: I've finally got photos from the Weston-New Milford game online. I'm sure the freshmen from that game have already graduated college and are working on their MBAs.

Anyway, click here to enter the gallery. The gallery is under High School Football 2007 (so is the Notre Dame-Bethel one). Check 'em out, show your friends, buy a ton of them, and so on...
