Lots Of Excitement, Few Surprises At Start Of Fall Sports Season

By Kim J. Harmon

Although there was a lot of excitement, there were few surprises in the first nine days of the 2006 fall sports season.

The football team survives an overtime thriller in Stratford; the boys’ soccer team (proving more frugal in its goal scoring) is undefeated after four games; the girls’ soccer team, after stumbling at Masuk (not so surprising) has won three in a row; the swim team sees its 33-meet win streak come to an end (sad, but not so surprising); the volleyball team continues to dominate; the field hockey team plays well against its three toughest opponents; and the boys’ and girls cross country teams are undefeated after two meets (which is definitely not surprising).

With 28 contests in the book, Newtown has accumulate 22 wins and one tie for an .803 winning percentage.

Where have we seen that before?

GIRLS SOCCER

Masuk 2, Newtown 0; Newtown 1, Waterford 0; Newtown 3, New Fairfield 0; Newtown 3, New Milford 0

If it isn’t already, Masuk will come to be known as a place where the Newtown High School girls’ soccer team – whether it’s a regular season or a South-West Conference playoff contest (i.e, against Immaculate) – goes to stumble and struggle in a sport it is essentially very, very good at.

It isn’t the sort of place, either, where the Lady Nighthawks would prefer to open a season. But since they had no choice, Masuk is where the ‘Hawks opened the 2006 season last Wednesday to the tune of a 2-0 defeat.

It was a struggle for the locals right from the opening tap. Despite exceptional play from Tania Domingos, the ‘Hawks managed just six shots while the Lady Panthers registered 11 on a trio of Newtown goaltenders – Jen Brewer, Jess Halloran and Emily Kluga.

The ‘Hawks shook off the loss, though, with a 1-0 non-conference win over Waterford last Saturday and then built on that momentum with 3-0 wins over New Fairfield and New Milford to improve to 3-1-0 on the season.

In the win over Waterford, Darcy Fiscella scored the lone goal. Against New Fairfield, Kasey Schulz, Domingos and Megan Hansen (penalty kick) all scored while Kluga went all the way in the net with seven saves. And against New Milford, Kristi Nowak had a goal and assist while Schulz had a pair of assists. Domingos and Kyla Miles had goals, as well. Kluga and Halloran split time in the net and combined to make seven saves.

The locals looked to build on that momentum against Lauralton Hall on Thursday at Treadwell Park before hitting the road to face Bethel next Tuesday and Notre Dame next Thursday.

FOOTBALL

Newtown 35, Stratford 34 (OT)

Jamie Goodwick was a virtual unknown heading into the 2006 season opener last Friday night at Penders Field in Stratford.

But thanks to a 39-yard punt return and an 80-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the first quarter alone, people around the South-West Conference will know all about it him … just like they will know all about guys like Jake DeVellis and Bob Lapple and Tyler Tarantino.

Those guys were the difference makers in Newtown thrilling, 35-34, come-from-behind overtime win against Stratford, accounting for four of the five Newtown touchdowns as well as a two-point conversion and 352 all-purpose yards.

Still, that effort could have been for naught if Stratford kicker Scott Kerrigan doesn’t bang an extra-point off the left cross bar in overtime.

It was one of those games that was filled with big plays (nine of ‘em) and will be remembered for quite some time.

(1) It started when Goodwick – seen as a better option than kicking to Joe DeVellis – took a first-quarter punt 39 yards down the left sideline to the Stratford two.

“Jamie has great vision and speed and has a few returns in our scrimmages, too,” said head coach Ken Roberts, “and if they are going to kick it away from DeVellis, who are they going to kick it to now?”

(2) After the ‘Hawks were stopped from getting into the end zone and kicker John Nelson scuffed a field goal attempt, Stratford drove down the field and scored on a 30-yard touchdown pass from Justin Shumyhora to Stenson Jean-Baptiste with 3:25 left.

(3) On the ensuing kick, Goodwick grabbed the ball at the 19, hesitated, and then shot through a gap and went 80 yards for the TD. “He was smart enough to set it up and wait for the blocks to happen,” said coach Roberts.

(4) Early in the second quarter and deep in the Newtown end, a fumble by Tarantino turned into an 11-yard touchdown for Melvin Williams of Stratford.

(5) Only a minute-and-a-half later, Octavious McCoy shed a handful of tacklers and rambled 56 yards for another touchdown to put the Red Devils ahead, 21-8, with nine minutes left to play in the half.

“We played hard,” said coach Roberts, “but we had some unfortunate breaks.”

Like 14 penalties for 135 yards, a fumble deep in their own side of the field, a missed field goal and a failed conversion. But the breaks started to go their way when Stratford fumbled and coach Roberts threw the Jake DeVellis wrinkle into the offensive equation. The ‘Hawks began to move the football with DeVellis calling the signals, though the first three signals he called turned into running plays.

“It was 21-8 and (Stratford) had the ball,” said coach Roberts, “and I told the kids, ‘think fumble.’ When the fumble came, the kids had some belief that things were going their way.”

And then …

(6) Tucker Kass – who had a tough day passing, going 2-for-14 with an interception – tossed a high floater down the left sidelines that Bob Lapple, taking advantage of a fallen Stratford defender, corralled for a 55-yard touchdown.

“That pass to Lapple was huge,” said coach Roberts. “That completion probably won us the game.”

(7) Because on the very next play from scrimmage, at the start of the third quarter, Chris Potter (12 carries for 109 yards on the night) bolted up the middle for a 65-yard touchdown run that lifted the ‘Hawks into a 21-21 tie with the Red Devils.

From there, the teams began grinding it out. But with 6:20 left …

(8 & 9) With Newtown on its own 10, Jake DeVellis fires a 45-yard halfback option pass to Lapple and, later, throws a 32-yard halfback option pass to Joe DeVellis, who, with a full out dive, makes what may end up being the finest catch of the year.

With 2:57 left, Tarantino scores his first touchdown to put the ‘Hawks ahead, 28-21, but with 4:08 left in the fourth, Williams scores on a one-yard burst to tie the score at 28-28 and send it to the Kansas tiebreaker.

On the first possession of the extra session, Tarantino scored on a fourth-and-two and after Nelson added the extra point, the ‘Hawks had a 35-28 lead. The Red Devils similarly ground of their 10 yards, scoring on a fourth-and-three.

But the extra point by Kerrigan banged solidly off the left bar and the ‘Hawks had survived a thriller to start the year 1-0.

The ‘Hawks hosted Brookfield on Thursday and will host Bunnell next Friday at Blue & Gold Stadium.

BOYS SOCCER

Newtown 2, Joel Barlow 2; Newtown 2, Pomperaug 1; Newtown 2, New Fairfield 1; Newtown 2, New Milford 0

Head coach Brian Neumeyer knew he didn’t have the kind of team that would be dominating its opponents like in years past.

But he also knew the 2006 version of the Newtown High School boys’ soccer team was still plenty good and plenty deep to challenge for a South-West Conference championship and the Nighthawks began showcasing exactly that with three consecutive wins to open the season at 3-0-1.

It started with a 2-2 draw against Joel Barlow) and, after that, came a 2-1 win over Pomperaug (the game-winner coming with less than five minutes to go), a 2-1 win over New Fairfield and a 2-0 win over New Milford. Nick Sando and Tony Magliocco have begun the season as the popular scoring tandem, netting three goals apiece in the first three games but, finally, in the win over New Milford, Brian Conroy got into the act with his first goal.

In the double-overtime draw with Joel Barlow, Sando notched the initial salvo in the opening moments of the first half to put the ‘Hawks on top, 1-0, but the Falcons scored twice in the second half to take a 2-1 lead. Then came Magliocco’s goal to send the contest into overtime.

In the win over Pomperaug, Sando scored the game-winner off a cross from Andrew Domingos with less than five minutes left on the clock. Magliocco had scored the opener off an assist from Mike Vontobel to put the ‘Hawks on top, 1-0, but the Panthers got the benefit of an own goal early in the first half to draw even, 1-1.

In the win over New Fairfield, it was Sando and Magliocco once again finding the back of the net. The defense was solid, allowing the Rebels just two shots on goal. One of those – off the foot of Ryan Gajdowski – snuck past Smith, who had one save for the win.

And in the win over New Milford, Magliocco scored a first half goal and Conroy added a second-half goal for the win. Justin Miller provided an assist and Smith recorded his first shutout of the year while making four saves.

The Nighthawks traveled to Seaside Park in Bridgeport on Thursday to take on Kolbe Cathedral and will return home next Tuesday and Thursday to take on Bethel (at Blue & Gold Stadium) and Notre Dame (at Treadwell Park).

Junior Varsity

Evan Kennedy notched a pair of assists as the junior varsity opened the 2006 season with a 3-0 win over Joel Barlow. Sean Ryan, Cody Cullens and Dayton Horvath scored the goals and Kyle Droniak provided an assist. Steven Musco and Zach Dlouhy combined for the shutout.

The Nighthawks followed with a 2-1 loss to Pomperaug and a 1-0 loss to New Fairfield. In the loss to Pomperaug, Jeff DiNicola scored the lone goal off a Sam Hoagland assist and in the loss to New Fairfield, the Nighthawks had the advantage in shots on goal, but the Rebels were the ones able to find the back of the net.

The ‘Hawks, though, returned to winning form on Tuesday with a 4-0 decision over New Milford. Cullens scored three goals with assists from Eric Thornberg, Matt Gastonguay and Horvath. Hoagland also scored while Musco and Dlouhy teamed up in the net for the shutout.

FIELD HOCKEY

New Milford 2, Newtown 1; Pomperaug 5, Newtown 1; Brookfield 4, Newtown 3

It is NOT the easiest way to start a season.

Things were going to be difficult enough for the Newtown High School field hockey team as it returned to the field in 2006 with a large group of new faces without starting the season with three of the perennial powerhouses of the South-West Conference.

First it was New Milford.

Then Pomperaug.

And, finally, Brookfield.

Nevertheless, although the Lady Nighthawks dropped all three decisions they acquitted themselves pretty well in a 2-1 loss to New Milford last Tuesday, a 5-1 loss to Pomperaug last Thursday and a 4-3 offensive slugfest with Brookfield on Tuesday.

Co-captain Katie Datin scored in the season-opener and the defense limited the Green Wave to only five shots and two goals but that same defense was beleaguered against Pomperaug, allowing 25 shots. Goaltender Lisa Isabella was forced to make 20 stops on the afternoon. Sydney Russell scored Newtown’s lone goal and the first of her career.

On Tuesday, the defense was under the gun again as Brookfield scored three first-half goals to take a 3-0 lead, but the ‘Hawks rallied behind goals by Nicole Alberico and Katie Datin (penalty stroke) to trim the lead to one at the half.

The Lady Bobcats scored again in the second half to take a 4-2 lead, but Alberico answered back with her second goal off an assist from Russell to pull the ‘Hawks back to within one. The rally ended there, though, and the locals dropped to 0-3-0 on the season.

Isabella and Dana Metzger shared time in the cage, with Isabella making five saves.

The ‘Hawks will be in New Fairfield next Tuesday to take on the Lady Rebels and will return home next Thursday to host Bethel under the lights at Blue & Gold Stadium.

VOLLEYBALL

Newtown 3, Tolland 1; Newtown 3, New Milford 2; Newtown 3, Weston 1

Despite losing some quality talent, the Newtown High School volleyball team looks none the worse for wear as it defeated Tolland (3-1), New Milford (3-2) and Weston (3-1) to open the 2006 season at 3-0.

The loss of Diana Grimaldi and Jenna Van Waalwijk has meant a bigger role for Morgan Knees, Emily Loose and Jenn Blauvelt and they have responded along with two of the returning stars from last year’s 17-5 team, Christie Iwanicki and Jill Logan.

In a 25-13, 25-17, 23-25, 25-14 win over Tolland last week Iwanicki registered 12 kills with eight service aces while Logan recorded 17 assists and four digs. Blauvelt was also steady at the net with six kills.

In a 25-16, 21-25, 26-24, 21-25, 15-11 win over New Milford, Blauvelt led the net play with nine kills while Iwanicki and Loose registered eight apiece. Loose also had five blocks while Iwanicki and Blauvelt combined for 13 digs. Logan, meanwhile, recorded six digs and four blocks.

And in a 25-21, 25-15, 25-27, 25-23 win over Weston, Knees and Iwanicki registered a team-high 10 kills apiece while Blauvelt had nine kills, but also a match-high 15 digs.

GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY

Newtown 15, Stratford 50; Newtown 21, Weston 43; Newtown 15, Bunnell 50 – Newtown 20, Pomperaug 43; Newtown 15, Masuk 50

No one was going to finish ahead of Jeanne Theleen of Pomperaug on Tuesday at Fairfield Hills – that was a given.

But no one was going to beat the Newtown High School girls’ cross country team, either. Although Theleen took first with a spectacular 16:36 finish, the next seven runners to cross the line wore the Newtown blue and gold – from Elise DeRoo in second place to Christy Attanasio in eighth – as the Lady Nighthawks swept their second meet of the season to improve to 5-0 on the year.

The Newtown course at Fairfield Hills is a 2.55-mile tract that has a couple of challenging hills and that allowed Theleen to separate from the pack. DeRoo finished almost a full minute behind Theleen, but Jen Brill was right alongside DeRoo when they cross and then Michelle Brennan, Moira Collier, Sara Pollock, Erin Nemeth and Attanasio followed in rapid succession.

Keegan Frobey (10th), Carolyn Gingras (12th), Andie Maret (14th), Marina Virgalla (16th), Kelly McPhee (18th) and Katie Power (19th) all finished in the top 20.

DeRoo and Brill were neck-and-neck last week in the season-opening quad meet with Stratford, Weston and Bunnell with DeRoo taking first overall at 15:28 on a 2.4-mile flat course in Stratford. Brill was second at 15:30, just ahead of two Weston runners.

Then came a six-member Newtown pack – Brennan (5th), Collier (6th), Nemeth (7th), Pollock (8th), Attanasio (9th), and Frobey (10th).

The locals will be in Redding next Tuesday to take on Joel Barlow, Brookfield and Immaculate.

BOYS CROSS COUNTRY

Newtown 15, Bunnell 50; Newtown 15, Stratford 50; Newtown 16, Weston 47 – Newtown 15, Masuk 50, Newtown 15, Pomperaug 46

With the Newtown High School boys’ cross country team being ranked second in the statewide coaches’ poll, it should be no surprise to see it all but coast through its first two meets of the 2006 season.

Taking five of the top six positions, the Nighthawks swept Bunnell, Stratford and Weston in the season-opener last week in Stratford and then, taking the top six positions, the Nighthawks swept Pomperaug and Masuk on Tuesday at Fairfield Hills to improve to 5-0 on the year.

Scott Nichols, Charlie Baldour, Zach Schwartz, Ryan Morrissey, Kevin Hoyt and Eric Macknight – the majority being the same crew that captured a surprising CIAC State Open championship last fall – stormed to the finish on Tuesday with Nichols and Baldour (a photo finish for first and second) and Morrissey, Hoyt and Macknight (a photo finish for fourth through sixth) separated by just five seconds.

Jordan Reed (11th), Kevin Donahue (13th) and Greg Hill (18th) finished in the top 20. The locals also received strong performances from Bobby Schwarz, David Meyer, Jon Zigman, Nathaniel Basch-Gould, Anthony Klabonski, Jake Burg and freshmen Peter Manos-Young and Erik Hoffman.

SWIMMING

Newtown over Stratford; Lauralton Hall over Newtown; Newtown 100, Bunnell 83

There was no question that the winning streak built up by the Newtown High School girls swim team – at 32 dual meets entering the 2006 season – was in jeopardy and thus it came as no real surprise when it ended at 33 following a loss to Lauralton Hall last Friday night.

The Lady Nighthawks not only lost some talent swimmers to graduation last year but a handful more chose not to return to the pool deck this fall in order to solely train and compete with their club-level teams.

That left the ‘Hawks in a weakened state, but still very competitive – as Bunnell would attest after the ‘Hawks posted a 100-83 win on Tuesday night. That win helped the locals improve to 2-1 on the year.

Jen Iassogna was a double winner after capturing the 200- and 500-yard freestyles. Jaclyn Van Waalwijk (50 freestyle), Nicole Borruso (diving), Emma Atkinson (100 butterfly) were individual winners, too, while the 200 freestyle relay team of Jenna Legros, Annie Hull, Atkinson and Van Waalwijk also captured a first-place finish.

In the loss to Lauralton Hall, Van Waalwijk (50 freestyle) and Atkinson (100 butterfly) were the only individual winners – with Van Waalwijk managing her win by a mere .05 seconds. The 200 free relay squad of Legros, Hull, Atkinson and Van Waalwijk secured a first-place finish by just six-tenths of a second.

The swimmers were in Pomperaug on Thursday and will be in New Fairfield on Tuesday for a 4 pm start.
