Naugy High athletics hopes for new fields

NAUGATUCK — The Naugatuck High School football and soccer teams are usually among the best teams in the Naugatuck Valley League. The fields they play on, though, are a completely different story. The Greyhounds’ soccer pitch and football field are marred with ruts, dirt spots, and major drainage issues. Boys soccer coach Art Nunes, who is in his 17th year with the team, has been critical of the field for which his players have to settle.

BEACON FALLS — In a family of three brothers, the youngest one already has expectations set by his older siblings. The same goes with Woodland Regional High School sophomore quarterback Tanner Kingsley.

NAUGATUCK — The defending Naugatuck Valley League football champions are back to work and are getting ready for a trip north of the border—Massachusetts, not Canada—for their first game of 2011. Citizen’s News caught up with Naugy’s three seniors—Jake Yourison, Nico Cari, and Mike Giugno—at practice last week to get their thoughts on the upcoming season. Yourison and Giugno are both ready to go for the opener on Sept. 16 in East Longmeadow, Mass., but Cari will be sidelined at least a few weeks—and according to head coach Rob Plasky, maybe the season—due to a broken finger suffered in a scrimmage at Amity.
