š° News we're reading
ā¢ Windham's first football co-op brings together ātwo different worlds' in eastern Connecticut (thehour.com) ā Bolton high school football players are now part of a new co-op team centered at Windham High, joining athletes from Coventry and Parish Hill to keep small-school football alive. The combined roster is helping stabilize numbers, preserve varsity competition, and build new friendships across very different eastern Connecticut communities. Local families with football players may see more travel but stronger program continuity.
