Trio of Sacred Heart Transfers Likely Headed to Naugatuck
It appears as though David Coggins, Javon Martin and Xavier Woods are all transferring to Naugatuck, as the longstanding rumor has suggested.

Pompei said there's still some "red tape" that Coggins and Martin are working through with Sacred Heart but that they all expect the issues to be resolved shortly. He said he talked with the necessary officials to ensure their move to the borough and to the school abides by CIAC rules.
Woods and his family have not been in touch with the high school, though, as far as Pompei knows. Woods attended an offseason camp with Coggins and Martin, but none of the three attended as part of the Greyhounds. Woods' situation is currently unknown, although signs also point to him transferring.
None of the additions have officially been made but it seems to only be a matter of time. Now it seems fitting to discuss how their presence will affect the Greyhounds this fall.
Russo Staying At Wilby
Last week, the latest rumor surfaced that Wilby head coach Patrick Russo was either resigning or being forced out of his position with the Wildcats.

That is false.
The Wilby coaching staff responded to an email sent this weekend, confirming that the rumor is not true and that Russo will enter his second season as the Wildcats' head coach in just a few weeks.
Russo was 4-6 in his first year with the Wilby after resigning from the same post at Wolcott.
We're just a few weeks away from the first practices of the season, so hang in there. Very soon, we'll start a very comprehensive preview of what's to come this fall. But that won't come until after the Olympics, so enjoy the Games and go Team USA!
