Burrillville topples Westerly football in D-II semifinal thriller

WESTERLY – Jack Belluzzi should never throw another pass. Not that the Burrillville football star couldn’t deliver again. He almost certainly would if the Broncos needed the running back to loosen his arm. But the senior’s last attempt could be lofting a semifinal-winning touchdown to Brayden Bannon, sending the state’s winningest program to uncharted territory, capping a 13-play, 97-yard drive on the halfback pass that his father dialed up – that’s all wrapped into the fateful throw against Westerly. No. 3 Burrillville rallied for a 21-14 victory on its final drive against the second-ranked Bulldogs in a Division II semifinal on Friday night, Nov. 13. Burrillville can add to its 24 football titles, a state record, next Saturday against No. 1 East Providence at Cranston Stadium. Kickoff is set for noon. It’s the first D-II title appearance for the Broncos, who won most of their football crowns in D-III. Burrillville also reached the D-I non-state championship game against North Kingstown in 2024. “The atmosphere of a Super Bowl is just incredible,” Belluzzi said. “It's just awesome looking up in the stands. My sophomore year, the entire Burrillville community was there, and I hope to see that again. I'm just so

Norwich BOE approves school redistricting plan for 2027-28

After extensive discussions during the October Board of Education meeting, the Norwich BOE decided on how the schools will be redistricted. The Board voted unanimously during the Nov. 10 meeting to use Scenario C, after it was given official approval by Superintendent Susan Lessard. There will be continuing communication with parents about the redistricting, Board Chair John Iovino said. With this redistricting, most students, including those that move from one part of the city to another, will attend the school within the district they reside in, Lessard said. In Scenario C, Huntington students are mostly rezoned to Stanton and Moriart y. Mahan students are mostly rezoned to Uncas and Stanton. Moriarty students are split between Greeneville and new Moriarty. Stanton students are mostly rezoned to Greeneville and new Stanton. Uncas students mostly remain at New Uncas or are rezoned to Greeneville and Moriarty. Veterans Memorial students are mostly split between Uncas and Greeneville. Wequonnoc students are predominately rezoned to Moriarty, The Bulletin reported Oct. 13.

NFA football routs Fitch to capture ECC Division I regular season crown

It’s a banner year for the Norwich Free Academy football team. NFA captured the Eastern Connecticut Conference Division I title with a convincing 35-7 victory against Fitch on Friday at Dorr Field in Groton. “Once they settled in and played our game, we took over,” Wildcats coach Dylan Schroth said. “And that's what we’re capable of doing. Sometimes we just have to believe in ourselves.” Leading 8-7 at halftime, NFA got a momentum-changing play from sophomore Nasjir Henry, who took the second-half kickoff 65 yards for a touchdown. Henry had initially appeared to be tackled but there was no whistle. Henry had rolled on top of a defender before racing to the end zone. “That was a huge spark,” Schroth said. “We talk about willpower. He wasn’t down and he didn’t hear a whistle and kept moving and changed the game. It was an incredible play.” NFA’s defense staked its claim as the best in the ECC with a dominant performance spearheaded by linemen Jasiyah Succes, Deyvi Perez Guzman, and Cameron Bell-Snow, linebackers Terance Brown, Remo Iozzia, and Cayden Alves, and defensive backs Radley Gonzalez, Ny’rell Ross, and Henry. Gonzalez and Ross both came away with interceptions. “The defense was
