This time last year, I was watching the Wolcott and Holy Cross football teams go at it at a windy Joe Monroe Field.
I was covering the game for the Waterbury Republican-American, but I also did some things for this website. Here are the links to those stories:
My story about the game itself…
My story about Wolcott football…
My story about Holy Cross football…
Things have changed in the past year. There is no Thanksgiving football, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s different sitting at home and not standing on the sideline covering a game. It will be different not writing recaps about games and finding out which local teams qualified for the postseason.
Instead of dwelling on it, I want to share stories from my site over previous years:
