I was late to the Twitter party, try 5 years late, but honestly, it’s better late than never. I didn’t get it until last spring because I didn’t understand the purpose of it.

Boys Basketball
This year’s team looks to bounce back from last’s years dissapointing season in which they went 4-15 in their CIAC League and 5-15 overall, and were outscored by 167 points, giving up a total of 1198 points overall. However, it wasn’t all bad as the season included two dominating wins over Darien, and then-Captain Chris Rama earning a spot on the All-FCIAC East 1st Team. This years squad, captained by seniors Nick Depuy and Connor KIlbane, now looks to improve their record and build around their young talent, and make a run at their first state title since 1962.
