Falcons fall 1 point shy
of beating Vinal Tech
AVON, Nov. 8 -- Aaron Holliday stopped a two-point conversion attempt by running back Tom Canty at the goal line in the fourth quarter as Vinal Tech/Coginchaug held off a late Falcon rally.

MIDDLETOWN, Oct. 25  -- The Dragons (4-2-1) scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to snap a 7-7 tie and beat the Falcons. "We didn't play very well today," said Middletown coach Eric Marszalek told The Herald Press. "Avon did some things on both offense and defense that were very creative and caught our kids by surprise. They ran counters we hadn't seen and hurt us with that little shovel pass to (Tom) Canty. But we didn't play as hard as we're capable in the first half."

But three big plays lifted Middletown. An 80-yard run by Jashone Cunningham in the first quarter gave the Blue Dragons a 7-0 lead. A 35-yard interception return for a touchdown by Martavis Isaac on the first play of the fourth quarter broke the tie. The third big play was a 35-yard pass reception by Cunningham from quarterback Shamar Carr to the Avon 9-yard line that set up the final touchdown. Canty led all rushers with 146 yards on 26 carries. The Falcons threw three interceptions.

AVON, Oct. 18 -- Rocky Hill's Jeff Courneen caught six passes for 107 yards including a 20-yard TD pass from Eric Fritz with a little more than three minutes left in the game to lift Rocky Hill to a 13-9 win over the Falcons. "You have to catch it. If you drop it you lose, if you catch it you win," Courneen told the New Britain Herald. 

The Terrier defense made life difficult for the Falcons, allowing Avon only eight yards in the second half and limiting Avon to minus 17 yards rushing for the contest. Tom Canty scored Avon's lone TD on an eight-yard run in the second quarter while Chris Prudhomme added a a 40-yard field goal. Canty led Avon with 58 yards on the ground but was held to minus 6 yards in the second half.

EC/Cheney 34, Avon 0
MANCHESTER, Oct. 4 -- Joe Hartigan scored 4 TDs and rushed for 83 yards on 14 carries to lead undefeated East Catholic/Cheney Tech (4-0) past the Falcons.

Enfield 21, Avon 7
ENFIELD, Sept. 26 -- Raider QB Pat Jubrey threw a pair of touchdown passes as Enfield scored 14 unanswered points to beat the Falcons on Friday afternoon. Avon's Ben Lerer caught the fourth TD pass of the season from QB Tony Casorio to tie the game at 7-7 in the third quarter. Mike Dalenta caught a 40-yard TD pass for the Raiders (2-1) and had 87 yards receiving. For Avon (1-2), Tom Canty blocked a punt while Matt Friedhoff and Chris Prudhomme each had an interception. Casorio was 15-of-28 with an interception, 1 TD and 141 yards.

AVON, Sept. 20 -- QB Tony Casorio had a career-high 11 completions and 128 yards but Berlin (2-0) limited Avon to just 13 yards rushing (0 in the second half) as they beat the Falcons for the 18th straight time and 23rd time in the last 24 years. Matt Friedhoff had four receptions for a career-high 73 yards, including a 46-yard TD pass from Casorio in the fourth quarter and recovered a fumble. Max Martinez blocked a field goal while Tom Canty also had a fumble recovery.

AVON, Sept. 13 -- A.J.

Season opens Saturday
AVON, Sept. 12 -- The Falcons have several key players returning at the skill positions but the success of the season will probably lie in the trenches with the offensive and defensive lines.

Senior split end Max Martinez (18-241, 3 TDs) returns along with senior QBs Ben Lerer (39-124-15, 470 yards) and Tony Casorio (34-80-3, 309 yards, 3 TDs). Linebacker A.J. Brown, safety/flanker Matt Friedhoff, center/tight end Adam Vanderbeek, tackle Chris Balich and halfback./linebacker Tom Canty are also back. But the team is small, young and had only 24 active players a week ago.

Coach Brett Quinion, who played for AHS in the 70s, will make his coaching debut when the Falcons host St. Paul/Goodwin Tech on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. in a non-league contest.

Quinion takes the reins
AVON, June 5, 2003 -- Brett Quinion was named the new head coach of the Avon High football team in mid-May. He is the seventh head coach in the program's history. Quinion, a former AHS player in the 1970s under Glenn McLellan, has spent the past four years working as an assistant coach at Bristol Eastern High. Ed Swicklas, a former Eastern head coach, will be Quinion's defensive coordinator. Sean Coles, David Olsen and Bill Brown comprise the remainder of the staff.
