GUILFORD - New seasons bring new faces. Those new faces could determine the success or failures of teams.
For the Guilford football team, it was a mix of new and old which made a difference in its season opener against Amity.
Behind 86 yards and a touchdown on the ground by junior Shane Connelly, 123 yards and a touchdown in the air by sophomore quarterback Ryan Lynch and a tough as nails defense, Guilford topped Amity 21-7 in a Southern Connecticut Conference contest at Kavanaugh Field at Guilford High Thursday evening.
"We practiced, we knew what they were going to do," Connelly said. "We knew their concepts, and what they were planning to do on us. I think we handled it perfectly."
For Amity, it was the story of missed opportunities as the Spartans could not capitalize until Colt Snowden connecting with Tyler McDaniel on a 10-yard touchdown with 4 minutes, 40 seconds remaining in the game to cut the deficit to 14 points.

As school begins this week, Amityville High School abruptly canceled its varsity football season on Monday, citing preseason injuries.
Sean Kreuder is a former Amityville "Tide" football player who graduated in 2025. He, like many, was surprised to hear that the Tide's varsity team was canceling this season.
"I was a little disappointed and shocked, because it wasn't that long ago that I was playing," Kreuder said. "I feel bad they are not going to have a senior season, especially after practicing all summer."
The school superintendent, Gina Talbert, sent a letter to the community saying the choice was made with heavy hearts and that the decision centers entirely on student-athlete safety and the long-term health of the program.
It stated in part, "Taking into account numerous player injuries on the varsity level, the program has made the decision to pause varsity competition for the upcoming season and focus all resources on a junior varsity schedule."

New Canaan girls soccer forward and All-American Clare Greisen is out for the season, New Canaan coach Rich Hickson confirmed Tuesday.
The news was first reported by the New England Soccer Journal, which stated that Greisen "was shut down for the fall season in late August because of an injury." Hickson didn't disclose the nature of the injury, but did say it was not ACL-related.
Greisen is not the only future Division I player and 2025 GametimeCT First Team All-State selection out for this season.
Amity striker Maggie Kershnar suffered an ACL injury and won't play this year, Amity coach Owen Quigley said. Kershnar is committed to play at UConn beginning in 2027.
Greisen, a two-time GametimeCT All-State First Team selection, was named an All-American last season. She has committed to play soccer at Northwestern University in the Big Ten Conference.

NEW YORK - Eight pitches in, Ethan Pecko appeared on the edge of calamity. Francisco Lindor crushed a full-count fastball into the second deck at Citi Field. Juan Soto sent a first-pitch curveball over the wall in left-center. Bo Bichette punched a single through the right side of the Houston Astros' infield.
Houston pitching coach Josh Miller hustled to the mound for a visit. AJ Blubaugh began to throw in the visitors' bullpen. Turning there so early might have torpedoed an already tenuous staff. Pecko, still, was making his third major-league start, and a series against the Mets hung in the balance Sunday.
Miller's message?
"To be honest, I don't even know," Pecko said afterward. "I was pretty comfortable with where I was at. Obviously, you don't want to give up two home runs back-to-back. But even the single, like, I knew the stuff was good. And I kind of just knew I could shake it off and keep going."
Instead of an early exit, Pecko engineered a recovery. The 24-year-old right-hander stabilized his outing enough to work five innings that kept the Astros position to stage a comeback, preserved their pitching structure and offered perhaps the most encouraging step yet in his big-league introduction.

After the disastrous defeat in Linz on Tuesday evening, we returned to Celtic Park to face Falkirk on domestic duty.
While the crowd was fully behind the manager and his players, the Celtic board were quite rightly taken to task by the Green Brigade who captured the overall feeling of the entire support, as they highlighted their anger at the Celtic Park hierarchy for another costly calamity in the Champions League.
Our crushing defeat to LASK wasn't only a major embarrassment after being four goals ahead, it also meant missing out on a potential £40 million payday, and the chance to once again compete with Europe's elite.

Missouri soccer showcased its most dominant performance of the 2026 season, flying past Northern Illinois in a 4-0 rout on Thursday, August 27 in Columbia. Junior midfielder Landis Canada led the way with her first collegiate brace, while Missouri's freshmen class continued to impress across the board.
The Tigers took the lead after 22 minutes of play, when junior midfielder Landis Canada drove the ball into the back of the net from point-blank range. The ball bounced around the box in the resulting calamity from a corner kick, and Canada finished it comfortably — finding her first goal of the season.
Freshman Lana Adams doubled the Tigers' lead in the 66th minute. She found her first collegiate goal by dancing around several Huskies defenders before rocketing the ball into the back of the net from 20 yards out. This broke the seal for the Tigers and allowed them to find their rhythm in front of the goal.
"It's mentality and execution," head coach Stefanie Golan said post-match. "I think that the women had the right mentality and they executed, and you know that's really what those opportunities come down to."
They continued this momentum when, just moments later, Canada found her second goal of the affair, knocking in a header from a corner kick in the 67th minute. The single-game brace matches her total goals in her collegiate career thus far.

Catastrophe, capitulation, calamity.
All applicable, all too familiar, all can be levied at Celtic after their Champions League qualification blunder away to LASK.
A night that started full of hope and optimism as Celtic edged four goals clear on aggregate after 21 minutes ended in deep humiliation in a 5-4 aggregate defeat after extra time.
At the same stage last season, their disastrous loss to Kairat Almaty ultimately cast a long shadow over their season and was the nexus point for an overflow of negative fan sentiment towards the club.
Here's how Celtic's nightmare evening unfolded.

Does the arrival of two goalkeepers at Newcastle this summer mean the end for Nick Pope?
If so, he has been a fantastic servant, but for some the writing has been on the wall for sometime.
Earlier this week, fans on this page said the 34-year-old's "days were always coming to an end" after "many blunders and bad judgement".
A criticism has been his tendency for erratic interventions outside of his penalty area. Notable instances have been a red card received against Liverpool for handling way outside the box, him being left stranded to concede a goal against Marseille in the Champions League, and bringing down ****** nal's Viktor Gyokeres towards the end of last season.
In October 2024, a Newcastle fan described him on these pages as a "calamity waiting to happen".

CHICAGO -- For decades, Michigan football was synonymous with doing things the right way, having never been subject to any NCAA investigations or penalties. There was little in the way of coaches doing the wrong thing, but the changeover from Gary Moeller to Lloyd Carr showed that the Wolverines weren't fully impervious to that. But the past four years have seen black eye after black eye -- some deserved, some debatably so.
From 'burgergate' to 'signgate' to Sherrone Moore's firing, it seems that cameras and the NCAA have been set up outside of Schembechler Hall for some time now. Thus, after Moore's dismissal for having an inappropriate relationship with his ****** istant, Paige Shiver, the program hired Kyle Whittingham from Utah, who's known for running a tight, clean ship.
And Whittingham said in his Big Ten media days press conference that the team is ready to put the past in the past and go forth with a clean record.
"They're hungry and ready to get back into a season and get into some football again," Whittingham said. "They've been through a lot the last four or five years, but hopefully we can put the drama to bed and just get back to being student-athletes and having a great college experience."
Whittingham noted in the same press conference that he hopes that with the most recent calamity, Moore's indiscretions, football can again be the main focus in Ann Arbor. The players are eager to showcase their capability, and he doesn't want the shadows of the past to haunt the program any further.

Dogs are humanity's best friend, and this is partially because we've bred them to better suit our preferences and needs. The Alaskan Malamute and Komondor, for example, were intentionally bred to serve specific roles (pulling sleds across the Arctic and guarding sheep from predators, respectively, in these two cases). It's not just breeding that can produce new types of dogs, though. The harrowing damage to the ecosystem left in the infamous Chernobyl disaster's wake may be contributing, too.
