TORRINGTON - Watching Nick Coleman and Kevin Leavitt run the ball for the Torrington football team in Friday night's season-opening 21-0 win over Kennedy, you might think they've been sharing the Raiders' backfield duties for ages, rather than being just the latest stars to shine in Torrington's single-wing galaxy.
When Coleman ran the ball - which he did 21 times for 160 yards and three touchdowns - there was Leavitt out ahead throwing a crisp block. When Leavitt ran the ball - which he did for 58 yards on 11 carries - there was Coleman doing the same.
They complemented each other as naturally as peanut **** er and jelly, Damon and Affleck, or - as their coach notes - thunder and lightning.
"We embrace (blocking)," said Coleman, a senior. "Single-wing offense, that's what it's about. There's no player above blocking, even if you're the quarterback, the tailback, whatever. You've got to go and make a block."
"I'd do anything for (Coleman). If I have to make a block, I'm doing whatever I can for him," Leavitt, a sophomore, said.

Management identifies access to electricity, rather than silicon, as the primary constraint for the AI economy, positioning distributed generation as an essential infrastructure layer.
The company secured its first commercial commitment for FuelCell Energy Blocks for data centers, signaling a shift from a growing pipeline to tangible commercial conversion.
A new 'awarded capacity backlog' category was introduced to reflect multi-phase contracts and capacity reservations, totaling $2.4 billion as of July 31.
Operational focus has shifted to scaling the Torrington facility to a 100-megawatt annualized production rate by October 2026 to drive operating leverage and meet hyperscaler demand.

TORRINGTON - Sara Brewer, Torrington's new athletic director, played three sports while attending the MacDuffie School in Massachusetts, but her No. 1 athletic love was always equestrian.
She took her first horse-riding lesson at age 6, got her first horse at 12 and competed in horse shows along the Eastern Seaboard from New England down to Virginia until she left for college. The then Suffield resident won her circuit championship several times and was even high-point champion in Massachusetts and reserve high-point champion in Connecticut.
"I was successful," Brewer said, "but it wasn't about the ribbons, though I do love blue. It was about the camaraderie. It was about working with this 2,000-pound animal and trying to convince him that he wanted to do what I wanted him to do. It was a lot of fun."
She will bring the lessons learned in the horse ring, along with plenty of others gleaned from years in sports, to the new position she took over July 1 from retired Torrington athletic director Mike McKenna. Certainly, she has already shown a knack for adaptability in 15 years at the high school.
After graduating from MacDuffie, Brewer earned a degree in athletic training from Endicott College in Massachusetts and a teaching certificate from Central Connecticut (and later advanced degrees online from Canisius and the University of New England). Like McKenna before her, she was originally an athletic trainer for Torrington before joining the faculty as an allied health and sports medicine teacher.

Interested in FuelCell Energy, Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better.
FuelCell Energy reported a wider fiscal Q2 loss after a $42.6 million non-cash impairment tied to its Groton Navy project, even as adjusted EBITDA improved year over year. Revenue fell 5% to $35.6 million, with weaker service and generation revenue partly offset by higher product and advanced technology revenue.
Management highlighted a rapidly expanding sales pipeline, which grew to 4 gigawatts and is now about 89% tied to data center opportunities. The company also introduced a new 12.5-megawatt modular fuel cell product aimed at AI and grid-constrained customers.
FuelCell Energy raised its planned Torrington manufacturing expansion to 500 megawatts annually from 350 megawatts, with an estimated cost of $200 million to $275 million. The company ended the quarter with $440.9 million in cash and said it remains essentially debt-free, while continuing to finance growth through project and equity options.
