Video: Brookfield head Coach Rich Angarano

Brookfield could be a very good team this season, but right now it's too tough to tell. While they have talent, its not all on the field at the same time due to injuries. That showed Tuesday when the Bobcats had trouble containing New Canaan, and Angarano said the team had its problems against Fairfield Prep, too.

Post/News-Times: Lutrus Endures On-the-job Training

Chris Elsberry filed a column on former Brookfield linebacker Scott Lutrus who, as Elsberry co-worker Neal Ostrout wrote the other day, is fighting for a starting role on the UConn defense.

The Connecticut Post crew is now handling UConn sports for the News-Times, which makes some sense since they are now sister papers. But hopefully the News-Times' high school sports coverage will still be as thorough as it has been over the years.

I'll give a call over there (off deadline) to find out what's up.

The Buzz on Scott Lutrus: Battling at UConn

What's the buzz on former Brookfield all-everything Scott Lutrus? Right now he's locked in a tight battle for a starting role at UConn. The redshirt freshman, right now, is atop the charts as the team's "Husky" linebacker - a position played last season by Justin DeRubertis of Bethel.

UConn coach Randy Edsall pretty much has turned UConn's preseason camp into an every-man-for-himself competition. He was ticked off by last season's team effort, and is promoting and demoting players during practices. It will be interesting to see how this blue-collar approach takes off. Will it force the team to gel, or will it be total anarchy?

Anyway, here's an article about Lutrus and others that was filed by Connecticut Post UConn beat writer Neill Ostrout, The article also appears in The News-Times, which is now a sister paper of The Post.
