The Trumbull Touchdown Club will sponsor a tribute to former Eagles coaching legend Jerry McDougall on Saturday at Porky’s Cafe in Shelton (50 Center Street) from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m.

McDougall, who coached football at Trumbull for more than 30 years, passed away last month at the age of 75. A $30 admission includes all-you-can eat wings, pizza and beverages. All proceeds will go to the new McDougall Scholarship started in his honor.

Checks can be mailed to The Trumbull Touchdown Club, attention: McDougall Scholarship, P.O. Box 110465, Trumbull, CT 06611. Payments also will be accepted at the door.

McDougall coached football at Trumbull from 1967-1998, winning 265 games, which was No. 1 all-time in the state when he retired. His teams captured three state championships and five FCIAC crowns.

Truly one of the state's coaching giants, McDougall is a member of both the National High School and Connecticut Hall of Fame.

McDougall also coached baseball at Trumbull and his teams won 510 games, nine division titles, three FCIAC titles and two Class LL championships in that sport. He also served as the school's athletic director and started Trumbull's successful wrestling program.

A three-sport star and captain at Bassick High School, McDougall played football, basketball and baseball at the University of Bridgeport. Starting in 1961, he spent six seasons as the football coach at Central Catholic before beginning his more-than 30-year tenure at Trumbull in 1967.

Matt Danaher, a sophomore defender from St. Joseph, and John Sullivan, a freshman midfielder from Trumbull, are members of the Fairfield University men's soccer team, which won the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference title Monday with a 3-1 victory over Manhattan.

The Stags improved to 12-4-1 and will be headed to the NCAA tournament for the fourth time in school history.

While Fairfield's stars are foreign, the roster does include some other local players, including freshman Jake Zuniga, a former Norwalk standout, and graduate students Brendon and Keaton Cristobal from Staples.

Danaher helped lead the Cadets to four consecutive state tournament appearances while Sullvan earned first team all-FCIAC last season for the Eagles.

Danaher has played in 12 games for the Stags, starting one, and Sullivan has seen action in six contests.

The Trumbull boys soccer team will have a few more days to savor its FCIAC championship as the start of the state tournament has been pushed back to Friday.

Second-round and quarterfinal games in Class LL will be played on Nov. 14 and 16, respectively. The semifinals were rescheduled for Nov. 19 with the finals slated for the weekend of Nov. 25-26.

Trumbull dethroned three-time champion Staples 2-0 on Friday to win its first outright FCIAC crown (The Eagles shared an FCIAC title with the Wreckers in 2006).
