Well Stamford High School finally won a FCIAC Basketball Championship...We finally beat Trinity Catholic High School...(One of the top programs in the state...Produced UConn Huskies Rashamel Jones and Craig Austrie...Duke's Dave McClure...and future Division 1 player Tevin Baskin)

My High School has also won 20 state football championships...but none since 1971...We have won back to back State Field Hockey Championships. I'm still amazed that any of our teams won...

Our Football team has also produced several good college football players lately, including One of Temple's Linebackers, Alex Joseph. We have another recruit who has been reportedly offered by a lot of big time programs. Should be interesting to see where he goes. They are gonna help put Stamford on the map. Actually Stamford High Football has gotten over $825,000 in scholarships for players since 2004...but no championships other than city championships.

Anyway in other sports news...

Why the big deal about this event...Senior UConn goalkeeper Stephanie Labbe is on the Canadian National Team. Figured some of you might want to keep tabs on how her new team is doing.

In 12 games in Ireland Mel Thomas is averaging 22.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.3 steals per game. She is making 68.4% of her free throws and 36.5% of her 3 pointers. Her team, Bausch & Lomb Waterford Wildcats, are 9-5 and currently in the leagues playoffs. I had no idea Ireland had a women's basketball league...You probably didn't either. Now you do.
