It took (way) longer than anticipated, but with the class LL football championship in the books, the CIAC fall sports championship season is now officially concluded. There were numerous wonderful stories throughout the championship season (which began with the cross country divisional championships on October 26) and the Championship Edition of Linked Up is a place to find a lot of those stories in one place. Congratulations to all the athletes who took part in the championships, and thanks to all the hard-working writers and photographers who helped tell their stories.

Football:

  • From the Hartford Courant: A second half surge carried the Southington football team to the class LL state championship.
  • From the Stamford Advocate: Alex LaPolice had cake on his mind, and then a championship trophy in his hands as New Canaan won the class L title.
  • From the Connecticut Post: A long climb back to the top culminated in a class M state title for St. Joseph.
  • From the Waterbury Republican-American: Whatever name he goes by, Arkeel Newsome and Ansonia earned another state championship in class S.
