With The Stamford Times sports editor Steve Geoghegan on vacation, it’s been a flash-back week for me, putting together the March 21 edition of The Stamford Times.

There’s an old saying around the world of sports that players win games and coaches lose them.
This year, however, I can’t say that’s totally true when it comes to the Trinity Catholic boys and girls basketball programs.
For the two previous winters before this one, I saw a lot of Trinity Catholic basketball which means I [...]

Once upon a time just this winter, the Trinity Catholic hockey was team was 2-7 and it was starting to look like major graduation losses (14 players), Ryan Haggerty heading to the midwest to play with USA Hockey’s Developmental team, and the transfer of another key player to cross-city rival Stamford was simply going to [...]

The latest loss — a 70-66 Trinity [...]

The All-American Bowl features the top senior football players in the nation. Fortt, a linebacker, and Redd, a running back, will play for the East [...]

There wasn’t much the Trinity boys basketball team could do against Bridgeport Central.
That’s because the Hilltoppers were clicking on all cylinders. They played about as well as a team could play in an early-season test of unbeatens and dominated the Crusaders in all areas.
The final result was something a winning program like Trinity isn’t used [...]

It seems like a minute ago we were getting ready for the high school fall sports season. And, like always, I look back, wishing I knew how to stop time so I could appreciate it all.
As always, you wish you never had to cover a loss and you wish every team’s season ended with a [...]

While we’re between seasons, it’s time to look back on this year’s Thanksgiving Day football games with Stamford earning its second city championship with a victory over Westhill and with Trinity Catholic topping off head coach Pete Stokes first season with a rout over Wilton.
In addition to recapping those two games, we also have a [...]

Stamford has won its second straight City Championship by defeating Westhill, 21-11, on Thursday morning.
Also, Trinity Catholic has beaten Wilton, 46-14.
More on these games will be posted later today.

It became THE STORY around the city this fall and rightfully so. The Westhill High School girls soccer team marched to the state Class LL championship on Friday, Nov. 21, and then got to march in the UBS Parade in downtown Stamford on Sunday.
While the game has been pretty well chronicled via videos and postings [...]

• • •
COMING SOON: Videos of Dante Terenzio and Briana Brown signings, too.

Unfortunately, the biggest stories this week aren’t in this week’s edition of The Stamford Times.
Due to a last-minute time change in the State Class LL semifinal girls soccer game between Westhill and Ridgefield, the game was moved until after our weekly Wednesday deadline. Ditto for Trinity Catholic’s semifinal matchup against No. 1 and undefeated Morgan, [...]

It’s state tournament time in Connecticut, which means sudden endings for some teams while other teams surge ahead with hopes and dreams of more to come.
The Trinity Catholic volleyball team won its first two games of the Class S tournament to move on to the quarterfinals while the Westhill field hockey team knocked off Norwich [...]

I wish I could come up with some great nickname for them. You know one of those ultra-slick sounding ESPN-style monikers like “Fab-Five.” Super Six sounds too corny or like something from election day.
Besides, the Trinity Catholic volleyball team is too far out of my range for coming up with something cool. But after watching them [...]

There are two big stories to report this week in The Stamford Times.
The first is Tuesday night’s FCIAC volleyball quarterfinal victory for the Trinity Catholic Crusaders. Unfortunately, due to our odd-ball printing times, the team’s semifinal game against Greenwich will be played and done in on Thursday, before the Times even hit the streets (fear [...]

One of the best kept secrets in the city this fall sports season has been the Westhill High School field hockey team.
The Vikings lost 12 seniors from last year’s squad, which won the city championship by beating and tying the two-time defending state champs from Stamford. Nobody expected too much out this year’s Westhill group [...]

A busy week means one of the busiest sections of The Stamford Times Sports that we’ve put out in a while.
From our cover story of the Westhill boys soccer team reclaiming bragging rights by winning the city title with a 2-1 win over Stamford last week, to two stories geared toward Monday’s Fairfield County Sports [...]

Before the season, I said the first five weeks were the hardest I had seen on Trinity Catholic Schedule since I have been doing this. And I wasn’t lying.
But I came away from Saturday’s game against St. Joseph feeling more like I had seen a Crusader win than a loss. There were a few factors to [...]

A city championship was at stake on Tuesday and it proved to be the same old story as the Westhill girls soccer team defeated Trinity Catholic, 3-0, to win claim their ninth straight city crown. But such a big game is only part of our big coverage in this week’s edition of The Stamford Times.
We [...]

It’s fun to watch the great ones: the best players on the best teams. You know the players of which I speak: the ones with their names in the headlines, those with the inside track to the championship trophies.
But even the purest of sports fans knows that sometimes the bandwagon just gets too over-crowded.
That’s when [...]

For those of you surprised that Khairi Fortt of Stamford isn’t our cover player for this week’s edition, (though he is a small part of the cover), consider this:
Two Stamford teams — Trinity and Westhill going head-to-head — trumped one player heading off to college, so it was Michael Rivas of Trinity (200 yards rushing, [...]

With the high school season in full swing, so too is The Stamford Times sports section — eight pages of jam-packed sports news for your reading pleasure.
The two big stories coming out of the city this week are both F-words — Football and Field Hockey.
On the football front, King’s Silas Redd had a career day [...]

It’s not like a lot of people were talking about this, especially inside the Trinity Catholic boys soccer camp.
But the fact of the matter is, according to the CIAC web site’s yearly results,  the Crusaders entered this 2009 season dragging along a 27-game non-winning streak that dated back to the fall of 2007. And an [...]

It’s nice when somebody’s dreams seem to be coming true. It’s only been about a month since Stamford’s Ryan Haggerty showed up in Michigan to begin the next phase of his hockey apprenticeship.
When he showed up on the grounds of Trinity Catholic as a freshman, he immediately made an impact in what was the rebirth [...]

First off, let us begin with an official warning from the Surgeon General: This week’s Sports Section in The Stamford Times maybe hazardous to your health. It’s a whopping 10-pages long and we recommend you don’t lift using just your back. Use your legs and proper lifting mechanics.
That’s right, folks! Ten pages of sports news [...]

This fall, as part of it’s high school football coverage, The Stamford Times, along with its sister papers, The Wilton Villager and The Hour, are adorning its football stories with special football helmets.
These helmets are special because they represent the schools actual game helmets.
The artist behind the helmets is a gentleman named “Mike” and he [...]

One year ago, the Trinity Catholic girls soccer team came into the fall season and promptly went 0-2 in its first two games, losing to Wilton and Staples by a combined score of 10-0.
This year, the Crusaders opened the season with the same schedule — Wilton in game one, Staples in game two — and [...]

It’s football season, so it’s time for our football preseason preview section.

Our cover boy is King’s third wheel — but a very important cog — in Eric Joyner. He might be in the shadow of the likes of Penn State-bound Silas Redd and Boston College-bound Kevin Pierre-Louis, but Joyner might be the most versatile player [...]

I’m back from visiting the various preseason soccer camps around the city and if the optimism I witnessed holds true, well, it could be a year where futbol is as popular as football.

Trinity Catholic is thinking postseason for the first time in, well at least in my time of covering the high school [...]

With official count-em-in-the-standings games last than a week away, (Can you say finally?), The Stamford Times offers up the first half of its annual Fall Sports Previews section this week.
As you can see by our Cover Photo, we’re looking at soccer, both boys and girls, this week as well as field hockey.
In boys soccer, we [...]

Next week, it all begins: The high school sports scene will rush at us in a flurry with preseason previews coming in both the Sept. 13 (boys soccer, girls soccer, field hockey) and Sept. 20 (football, volleyball, swimming) editions.
Unfortunately, the high school football season begins 24 hours after The Stamford Times deadline, so while we’ll [...]

Trinity Catholic’s new football coach, Pete Stokes, right in the photo at right, is quite comfortable sitting in his coaches room.
And why not?
These digs are very familiar since, for most of his life, he has been a Crusader, first as a quarterback during his playing days and then, as an assistant coach. So Stokes comes into his first year at the [...]

As I prepare to get ready for the fall football season (yes, as a Met fan, baseball season is over, thank you) I am starting to look at the possible games I will be covering in the weeks ahead.
I got as far as my first potential team and one question comes to mind … Who [...]

Once hockey gets in your bloodstream they say it never goes away and for Trinity Catholic coach Chris Gerwig that is a fact.
On July 1, Darien Ice Rink hosted the Big Assist All-Star hockey game featuring NHL and college players to benefit Obie Harrington-Howe, a local hockey coach who was paralyzed 12 years ago in [...]

Summer is finally here and we’re not horsing around when we say that.
The Little League All-Star season is about to start and talk of a high school girls hockey team coming somewhere down the line is even starting to warm up slightly … and we have a story about a young lady who doesn’t horse [...]

All is quiet on the high school sports front as the state playoffs are over, many students are wrapping up finals and summer is fast approaching.
That doesn’t mean the sports news stops around the city, however.
Our cover girl this week is former Stamford High softball star Melissa Giordano, who over the last month has racked [...]

I have been covering the Stamford sports scene for four years now, so this is my first go-round watching kids develop from freshmen to seniors. I have to say, for me, it is kind of a different feeling realizing most of them, I won’t get to watch play anymore. To interview them after the game, [...]

Mother Nature first threw us a curve ball and then somebody at the Orange Hills Country Club in Orange just told us an out-right lie, thereby throwing us for a couple of loops this weekend as we prepared for you the June 14, 2009 edition of The Stamford Sports section.
Our cover girl this week is [...]

Since Ryan Walsh has two wins and a save already in this state Class S tournament, Times correspondent Joe Ryan puts the junior right hander out there as one of the best pitchers chucking the ball right now.
Statistically speaking he certainly has can make a good argument regardless of how spot-on Darien’s Devin Burke has [...]

It was a week to remember for the Westhill High School athletic department. But it proved to be a Monday to forget.
On Saturday, Westhill baseball pitcher Steve Rivera hurled his team into the FCIAC championship game with a no-hitter over Darien. A few hours later, the Viings softball team repeated as FCIAC champs when un-sung [...]

Here is Trinity Catholic’s Tevin Baskin, during his press conference at the school today, talking about some of the reasons why he decided to attend Quinnipiac University in the fall. Also, Trinity head coach Mike Walsh offers his thoughts on Baskin and his future.

There is new news that is exciting and there is old news that is unique and that’s not even mentioning the start of the FCIAC baseball and softball tournament last week.
All have found their way into this week’s Sports Section of The Stamford Times.
First and foremost, the big news is that Trinity Catholic basketball star [...]

Westhill’s Stanley Paul ripped a home run to right that started a four-run rally in the bottom of the fifth and Steve Rivera’s pitching did the rest as the Vikings won 6-1 in their opening round game against Fairfield-Ludlowe.
Rivera solidified his reputation as a big game pitcher by going the distance and was just as valuable [...]

Sad news to report in the city this week as our cover story is about the sudden demise of the Stamford Spinnakers girls high school ice hockey team, which ceased operations after 11 years of giving a big chunk of the city’s female hockey fans a place to play.
The Spinnakers will live on as a [...]

It’s Mother’s Day Weekend, so is there any better time, really, to salute the mothers of sports? That’s what The Stamford Times does with this week’s edition of its Sports section as we salute all of the mothers of the city through the eyes and emotions of three local moms — Patty Ann Tublin, seen [...]

Tennis anyone?
At Westhill High School, the Vikings are playing plenty of tennis these days and on Tuesday the two teams beat Stamford to sweep the City Championships for the second straight year.

With every passing day of his senior year, Trinity Catholic’s Tevin Baskin does draw closer to a decision about where he’ll be playing basketball and continuing his education come fall. Just don’t expect that decision over the next couple of weeks.
In fact, it might be mid-to-late May before Baskin finalizes his plans for the future.
From [...]

Rain. That’s the big story of the week around the city as day after day after day, Mother Nature has defeated pretty much every sports team that is trying to play out a spring sports season in Stamford.
Except for the Stamford softball. Thanks in great part to a yeoman’s effort by the grounds crew, Tuesday’s [...]

Trinity Catholic’s ace, Ryan Walsh, pitched his second complete game victory of the week in beating Westhill 6-2.
Walsh allowed four hits but only one of them came over the last six innings. The junior struck out five and walked only one. He was equally effective at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a run scored and [...]

The spring sports season is fully under way as we get past the Easter weekend, which means athlete are soaring higher and higher every day.

Also, both [...]

The next time a coach is questioned about leaving in starters in what seems to be a blow-out game, just tell them the tale of Stamford coach Fred Kelley’s Monday afternoon.
His squad had built a 12-run lead during the first six innings over New Canaan and it looked like a perfect time to bring in the subs. Unfortunately, the [...]

Meet Katie Connolly.
She was Trinity Catholic’s lone representative at Monday’s Girls City Track Championship held at Westhill High School’s Kennedy Athletic Complex.

Sorry for the delay in posting, but things have been hectic here at the office as we wrapped up our season previews, got the regular season under way and through an Easter holiday, as well.
However, many things of interest have happened regarding the city’s sports scene so I figured we’d take a look at some [...]

You have got to love deadlines. Or, in this case, hate them with a passion. Unfortunately, the deadline for The Stamford Times is early Wednesday afternoon, just hours before the spring sports season officially kicks off — which means their will be no print coverage of Wednseday’s games in this week’s paper edition.
However, for fans [...]

It’s no secret that a big part of Trinity Catholic’s hockey resurgence these last two seasons is because the Crusaders had Ryan Haggerty on the ice. Granted, Haggerty wasn’t the only reason Trinity became a player once again on the state’s frozen pond.
But, as one of the state’s best young players, he was a big [...]

Sometimes an off-subject comment gets you wondering. It makes you think, “What if?”
In getting ready for the baseball season, Stamford High School pitcher Mitch O’Meara said how it was a shame that some players he grew up playing with went to different high schools. In some ways, it is a shame, but in other ways [...]

April means spring time which means baseball and softball season is fast approaching and in this week’s edition of The Stamford Times, we’ll be looking at the city’s high school baseball and softball teams.

The winter sports season is behind. Almost.
While the local high schools have wrapped up their high school basketball and hockey seasons last week, there is a little bit of house cleaning to do this week before we look too far ahead to spring.
The biggest news of the week, though,  did come off the frozen ponds [...]

For the second year in a row, the Trinity Catholic Crusaders hockey team walked out of Yale University’s Ingalls Rink on the losing end of a CIAC semifinal game.
Last winter, a questionable call and some sluggishly slow ice cost the Crusaders dearly in a 3-2 loss to Amity in the Division II semifinals. On Wednesday [...]

For the city’s avid basketball purists, this will not be an easy edition of The Stamford Times to pick up and read.

They turned a 8-6 contest into a 36-6 blow out which left only time standing [...]

Well it looks like all those 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. practice times are going to pay off for the young men of the Trinity Catholic Crusaders hockey team?
That’s because the team’s CIAC Division I quarterfinal playoff game against West Haven has been scheduled at 10 a.m., Saturday, at the Yawn-derland of Ice – Er, [...]

Trinity Catholic’s win over E.O. Smith answered two questions: Would there be an emotional hang-over from its loss to Stamford in the FCIAC finals last week and could they win in the tournament without Tevin Baskin dominating offensively?
The answers were “no and yes”, respectively, which bodes well for their overall chances to make it to [...]

Just spending my Monday morning going through the MSG-Plus’s game tape from last week’s FCIAC Championship game and I thought I’d share some thoughts and opinions as the game goes on.
I’m tempted to turn the sound down because I’m already tired of the announcers crediting kids with stats they didn’t get, but at least I [...]

Before the start of Tuesday night’s FCIAC championship showdown between top-seeded Trinity Catholic and No. 3 Stamford, Black Knights head coach Jim Moriarty asked Crusaders coach Mike Walsh for a favor.
“I asked him, Can’t I have just one?” Moriarty said after the game. “He said, ‘no’, but he said if he was going to lose [...]
