UNH: Chargers focus is on defense with incoming class

If there were any doubt that the New Haven football coaches are focused on defense, just take a look at the Chargers latest recruiting class.

Out of the 19 players that UNH is bringing in, 13 of them play defense and eight of them play in the secondary.

According to coach Pete Rossomando, that was an area that the Chargers want to continue to focus on.

“We put a lot of emphasis on defense,” Rossomando said.

Cheshire coach Ecke not forcibly removed from game

A spokesman for the Glastonbury Police Department confirmed Monday that Cheshire High School football coach Mark Ecke did not have to be forcibly escorted from a junior varsity lacrosse game at Glastonbury High School on May 3rd.

Ecke was suspended last week by school officials for unspecified conduct issues associated with an incident at a Cheshire-Glastonbury game which he was attending as a parent. Ecke admits that he angrily berated a game official for not calling a penalty when his 15-year-old son Tucker was injured when a Glastonbury player made helmet-to-helmet contact with the boy, but said he was not arrested and left the game with the teenager to seek medical attention.

Glastonbury Police Sergeant Richard McKeon, a police spokesman, confirmed that Ecke was not arrested. McKeon said officers were summoned to the game because of reports of an “unruly parent.”
