Newtown High School’s boys’ lacrosse team defeated host Pomperaug of Southbury 18-1 on April 18, and Tucker Garrity’s three assists (to go along with a trio of goals) made him the program’s all-time leader with 134 assists.
Ties in lacrosse are unusual enough — Newtown High School’s girls’ team hadn’t had one in more than a decade, if ever, before a 9-9 deadlock with visiting Pomperaug of Southbury on a damp April 11 night — but the way in which this game ended up a stalemate is all the more unusual.
The second annual Run4Hunger-Newtown, benefiting FAITH Food Pantry, will take place on Saturday, May 11, on the campus of Fairfield Hills. The race starts at 8:30 am.
Newtown High School’s softball team got back into the win column with an offensive outburst — two dozen runs to be exact — against visiting Kolbe Cathedral of Bridgeport on April 18. The Nighthawks swung heavy bats en route to a 24-2 triumph over the Cougars, putting the skids on a three-game losing streak.
It doesn’t seem to matter who Newtown High School’s volleyball team plays. The Nighthawks improved to 9-0 overall, posting their sixth and seventh 3-0 triumphs with wins over FCIAC teams, host Danbury on April 17 and visiting Trumbull the next day.
The way in which Newtown High School’s boys’ lacrosse team started each of its last two games certainly played a role in the victories, but it was strong second-half play that sparked wins at Stepinac of New York on April 13 and home against Weston on April 16.
Newtown High School's girls' and boys' tennis teams both earned 7-0 wins on the road on April 16. The girls were victorious at Masuk of Monroe and the boys won at Stratford High.
With South-West Conference play beginning this week, the first six games of the slate — including a pair against SWC rivals — only count in the state standings. Coach Joanna Closs views this the true start of the season.
Thanks Joanne- I support Mitch's re-election too. I think he's done a great job representing Newtown over the years. Newtown29 - Mitch and the rest of the minority Republican party in the CT legislature worked hard to fight these stealth taxes before you got your first shocking bill AND afterwards- the democrats have consistently ignored or worked around those efforts. Sending more democrats to the CT legislature in place of Mitch and Tony will look like pouring gasoline on a kitchen grease fire - Connecticut will only become more unaffordable with that kind of governance.
Turn off MSNBC and look at the rise of our enemies while we dabble in personality politics. They would just dance if the 'cackler-in-chief' tried to threaten them. Send in Blinkin and the clowns.
An election day of reckoning is coming for Mitch and Tony. Their biggest failure has been to allow the electric companies in the state to make CT one of the highest cost states in the country. Milk going up by $1 is one thing but having our electric bills go up by almost 100% and hundreds of dollars every single month is another.
Please explain why they would walk over the USA if Kamala was to win? Trump wants to be a dictator like Putin, Xi, and Jung Un and invite them for golf and cocktails at Mar-a-lago. Not at all scary.
"The elector’s oath was administered to 61 new voters and one additional name was restored to the list at the meeting of the Board of Selectmen and the Town Clerk held in Edmond Town Hall last Saturday. This compares with 87 persons who were made voters in their corresponding meeting last year." Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing that.
