Athletic News:

Friday’s PINK OUT game against Simsbury was a success! With an overall score of 5-2 our SW Bobcats game out strong from the start. Leading us with goals was Bella Sanchez with her first hat trick of the season! Lindsey Tortora and Kayden Burke played well together on the right side to help transition and move the ball up and down the field. And our defensive diamond had outstanding communication in the back field. The Bobcats held their ground keeping the field wide and keeping possession of the ball for majority of the game. Great team work ladies!

Congratulations to South Windsor Bobcat Football program as they swept the East Hartford Hornets this past week.

Colin Berry along with Josh Pearson led the defensive. On Saturday, the JV team defeated East Hartford 24-7 with Emeka Okoh catching two touchdowns from Tyrone Casey including a sensational one handed grab. The defense led by Josh Colon was stingy all day only allowing 7 points and scoring 8 of its own. 2 on a safety and 6 when Josh Colon picked up a fumble and took it in for a touchdown. Friday afternoon, Varsity defeated East Hartford 28 to 14. Anthony Bellezzi had an outstanding game behind a dominating offensive line. Two touchdown passes, including one on the first play from the line of scrimmage to Malik Montgomery and the last on a pass to Jack Gorborino to put the game out of reach. In between Bellezzi scored twice on Quarterback sneaks. The defense led by Jack Perra had its best game of the year only allowing two touchdowns and shutting out the Hornets in the second half.
