Simsbury Sports Digest for Sept. 30, 2011

Not even a strong Northwest Catholic team could slow down the Simsbury volleyballers. The Trojans edged the Indians 3 games to 2 on Wednesday to stretch their record to 7-0. Monday, Simsbury topped Maloney at home by that same 3-2 score, Julie Dennen had 12 assists and 10 digs while Laura Yablecki contributed 14 digs and 10 kills. Next up is Southington tonight at 6 p.m. in Simsbury.

Injuries have been the story for the Simsbury High football team in this young season. The Trojans gutted out a 14-7 win in week one despite the loss of their starting quarterback Steve Steijn to a season-ending knee injury. Brendan Conway who led Simsbury to that victory in Steijn's stead was then knocked out of their week two contest with Conard, a 28-0 loss, with a broken collarbone. Tonight Simsbury plays its first road game of the season as they travel to Manchester to battle the Indians at 6 p.m.

Also on the schedule ... the Simsbury field hockey team is looking for their fourth win of the year as they visit E.O. Smith for a 3:45 p.m. face off.

Simsbury soccer takes on Southington also at 3:45 p.m. The boys are home, while the girls are on the road.

Finally the Simsbury crew team has its first regatta of the season as they take on Hartford Public and Haddam-Killingworth at the Head of the Riverfront at Charter Oak Park in Manchester on Sunday.
