Somers Girls' Soccer Falls to Host Granby

Kathryn LaVallee scored the lone goal for the Spartans.

On Tuesday, the Somers High School girls' soccer team fell 4-1 to host Granby.

Somers scored less than three minutes into the game on a Kathryn LaVallee goal assisted by Kathryn O’Connor and Erin Pfeifer. Granby evened it just five minutes later on a goal by Nicole Paggiuli.

Granby dominated the rest of the first half and got goals from Liad Stearns and Audrey Turcotte to take a 3-1 halftime lead.

Somers played a much stronger second half led by Jaclyn O’Grady and Tori Laires.

O’Grady had the best scoring chance but was denied on a diving save by Granby’s goalie Maddy Dixon. Dixon made nine saves in the game.

Granby got the final goal from Stearns on a blast to the upper right corner to close out the scoring.

Kelsey Sloan and Kelsey Charette were standouts for Somers.

Somers (2-3) travels to Windsor Locks on Friday. Granby (4-0-1) travels to Canton the same day.

I believe in the concept of charter schools. Saw some very good ones in inner cities that workedRead More very hard and made some progress. But I thinks for every charter school that opens a failing public school should close. Why perpetuate failure?

How long will we throw money at a problem that stems from the home and societal policies promotedRead More over the years? How many years and how much money is needed to fix the fact that so many children are growing up in households without fathers? If we give the schools all the money they want, will it fix the problem? I think not. It is not a school issue. It is a decaying society issue. I'm glad I'm old.

Penny, glad to see some (albeit few) smart people are working in Hartford for the people and notRead More just for their political careers! Since the large majority don't pay attention, it is important that we continue to educate people on what our representatives are doing in Hartford. Keep up the good work, and thanks for taking the time to write this article.
