• Volleyball Recap: Windsor's Win on Wednesday Extends Winning Streak to Four (maxpreps.com) — Avon High's volleyball team fell 3–0 to Windsor, continuing a tough stretch that has left the Falcons at 1–5 dating back to last season. The match was closer than the score suggests, with a tight third set, and Avon now looks to rebound in Monday's 5 p.m. matchup against Lewis Mills.
