Good morning, South Windsor! Today is Wednesday, July 24, 2013; there are 161 days left in the year.

I don’t know about you, but today at 5:30 p.m., I’ll be in Harwinton watching the South Windsor American 11-12 All-Stars take on Coginchaug in the Section II final game. The Americans lost to Coginchaug 12-3 on Tuesday, setting up today’s final game.

Kids, there is no rooting in the press box, so all I will say is COME ON YOU AMERICANS!!!!!!!!
