Dude..Tingley was freaking good!

I don’t think he threw that hard or he would’ve been at UConn. I’d guess he was 81-85 when I played him (pre Tommy John). But dude could put it anywhere he wanted. Located that fastball like a beast. Just pinpoint.

May have been a bit high but was definitely humming it in at least 85. Nasty slider too but like you said needed TJ after freshman year. Didn’t pitch sophomore year and never quite got that mojo back.

He's a sophomore this year, 14 years old, wouldn't that make him 2023?

My son is 15 (young for his age in his class) and is a Sophomore. If he is 14 as a Sophmore he has a ton of growth he can do.

I believe he's 16 now. This is from 2 years ago and mentions him being 14

Have a friend who is very good friends with Matt father. While with him last night they were chatting and heard him say Indiana, Notre Dame, Syracuse, UConn among others have started reaching out to him. Pretty sure he's class of 2023. Don't know much about his game but have heard glowing reports
Expand ...
Matt good friends w Donovan. (play AAU together)
HS Bball season a long shot but hearing there are thoughts of Donovan joining Matt at NWC in the future.

* Back after a long time of not posting so... Calvin Murphy BEST BBALL talent to come out of CT.

*UCONN BEST LINEUP: Cole, Bouknight, Whaley, Sonago & Martin!

2022. Wouldn't hurt for him to do a PG year at a better prep school though.

Rumor is Reilly at East Catholic wouldn't take him because of defense. Would be a humongous f up for him if true. Probably already is. Kid averaged likex25 a game for northwest

That's nonsense about his D, he's a very good defensive player, all the tools and a huge motor. Luke and Matt Curtis (the father) played at Hartford together.

He's still one of the all-time leading scorers in CIAC history, over 2,000 points. AND he didn't shoot many 3's.
Expand ...
Yeah he's a few years older than me but from the same general area. He was in the headlines of the Waterbury Republican anytime Cheshire played.

It's pretty amazing when you think about it: 40 PPG with almost no 3PM in a 32 minute HS game without a shotclock. You are getting buckets at a wild clip.

Yeah they were already changing slowly and there was some big Pratt expansions around 2000 that skyrocketed the Change. But there was always a small contingent of Glastonbury wannabes in small towns like those too, granby was the same way.

That’s not fair to tony, Dan was one of the best players to come out the area in a while (him and pollack are the two best off the top of my head). Just a crazy natural athlete.

Rockville always had some talent when I played them. Cravenho could mash. Leonard was a good c. And there was a never ending line of kuckuchka brothers with sick breaking balls.

Plus the 8 foot 7 freeman who could pitch and was a good hoop player.

It’s wild to see these names in here - I graduated from Tolland in ‘01 so played with these guys. The baseball and football teams from that era were excellent and punched well above their weight.

I mean trubia and McGinn were just such naturals. They could’ve picked up polo and been good at it almost immediately. Wildly unfair to the average person.

susko is historically great as far as CT football goes, but won’t get his due coming from a small school. And legit one of the nicest human beings on the planet. That dude had it all and could’ve been an ass to everyone. He wasn’t.

what’s wild is that one kid moved out of Tolland in middle school and was the Texas5A player of the year in 2002 (biggest schools). Tolland almost certainly has a state title in baseball if he stayed.

plus Tolland softball had trubia’s sister, another Florida transplant, and the next pitching in line went d1 in softball.

that was a wild run for Tolland sports.

I grew up east of the Connecticut River and I swear I don't think I've ever been to Ellington. What's there? Is there a downtown area with restaurants, etc.? Or is it just very rural?
Expand ...
It had been VERY rural up until about 2000 it became more suburban. There are a couple plazas along a drag of rt 83 but nothing resembling a downtown. Hidden Still is a nice pub and there’s another restaurant, Cold Creek Tavern, and a couple pizza places (it’s still CT after all). The old Ellington Supermarket is now a Big Y. Housing prices are crazy and there’s a few nice upscale condos.

They got their first Dunkin within the last couple years so that's kind of a big deal.

I moved out of CT in 1996 so that probably explains it. Well maybe on my way down to see my parents one day I'll stop by the Hidden Still or Cold Creek Tavern for a beer.

As others have mentioned, Klotter Farms makes incredible furniture and barns, quality through the roof. We are more suburban now, but we still have more cows than people. There is a big population of Swiss (Klotter, Mosers, Luginbuhls lee's auto ranch) and they are kinda similar to the Omish, sort of. One of the Mosers had his barn built by the Pennsylvania Omish in like 3 days and it's huge. Did it with no nails and it's big enough for a basketball court and a class A RV on one side. The other side is a rec area, it's beautiful. On the farm side it's open space and cows, it's fun to ride my bike through that area. The cows sometimes come to the fences to say hello.as I ride past. The most traffic you see is when a tractor crosses from one field to another. Quiet town, super conservative, which butts heads with the new people to town. I'm on Crystal Lake, it's a typical lake area, old time Ellington and new professional ppl

Same Mosers who used to own the farm in Ellington? I think that was the name of the farm that had a petting farm and some great ice cream in the summer. Think it was around Butcher Rd and West Rd.

Yeah, if you lived east of the river you probably had Moser Milk. They closed that business, but they are doing well. The best I've cream here in town is either Dzen or Kloter. Really good ice cream iyam.

Yeah, my memories of that are from late 70's or early 80's. Undoubtedly the best part of going to Moser's for ice cream was dad, without fail ever, always pulling over to the side of the road to "Moooooooooo" at the cows.
Also those areas in Ellington used to have great corn you could get roadside.
