I've created this blog to focus on high school football in the New Haven area. I'll be teaming up with Register high school football beat writer Mike Pucci this fall to bring you more coverage. More features, more videos, more interaction with our readers and visitors; the people who truly care about high school football in Connecticut. And there's a bunch.

But I'll be blogging about other stuff too. For the in-depth high school football coverage, your first stop should always be Pooch's Gridiron Glory blog. I'll add what I can.

We all know timing is everything, and with that, I am now leaving for vacation. Maybe I'll check in while I'm away from Sargent Drive, maybe I won't. But I'll be here in the fall in time for kickoff. Everyone enjoy what's left of the summer (August already?). Later.
