Although the Greenwich High School football team had a season to remember last year, head coach Rich Albonizio plans on adding a lot more memories with this year’s squad.
Last season, Big Red finished 11-1 overall. In the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference, Greenwich High went a perfect 9-0 and claimed the regular season championship.
In addition, the Cards picked up the FCIAC championship by beating Staples High School on Thanksgiving, and won the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference class LL title by beating Shelton High School, 28-14.

“The quality of the building itself is so wonderful,” Mrs. Harrison said in an interview with the Post.
The couple put a bid in the next day. When asked what she fell in love with, Mrs. Harrison offered a number of examples, including proportions of the rooms, the way the land wraps around it like a gentle hug and the sense of history one feels when walking through the front door.
Homeowners and buyers learned about handling sunken oil tanks, radon and mold.
Now we are adding to this list stone countertops. Claims of granite emitting radon and radiation are increasingly being reported across the country. Granite and other stone counters have become the norm in kitchens and bathrooms because of their durability and attractiveness. Demand for granite countertops increased tenfold during the past decade. Slabs or pieces referred to as granite may consist of a variety of stone types that includes actual granite and marble. Regardless of the stone type, all natural stones used as countertops are composed of several major minerals and other composites.
