This was hysterical.
ND’s Zach Hochman’s stalling out the clock. Waterford and senior Caleb Holdridge wanted to keep playing.
Hock wasnt selling.
“C’mon, it’s our last game!”
“Rock-paper-scissors?”
And so they did. 😂

Today we learned sports can be more than just a game, wonderfully illustrated by the Newtown players and coaches.

From a CT standpoint, this decision on football was inevitable but bungled from the start.
I really thought with a bunch of other states — with COVID metrics much worse than ours — well into their seasons, we’d have evidence that supported giving football a shot, at least.
High school football will not be held this fall in its current 11 on 11 format, the CIAC Board of Control voted Friday morning #cthsfb
