We've talked on here before about the friendships and people we get to know through being involved in sports in many different ways. It extends to the friendships that develop because of sports but last forever.
I've also written about all of the summer baseball coverage I've been involved with over the years. Whether that be Little League, American Legion, College Summer League or Babe Ruth.
A lot of that over the last several years has been Trumbull Babe Ruth. Trumbull has become a town I've really enjoyed dealing with, and most of that is because of the great people.
It's all the staff, coaches, players and families that we have interacted with.
That leads me to Friday night where Ludlowe was playing Trumbull in football at Trumbull High School. I love when we get Fairfield vs Trumbull games in any sport. As I wrote on Instagram, it's "my guys" vs "my other guys."
Its people involved with Trumbull like Mike Buswell, Brayden Jagoe and Luke McDermott to name a few, and the families.
It was good to chat with Mike during the game and to watch Jagoe play* (McDermott is hurt, speedy recovery to Luke) and talk to him for a quick second afterwards.
Ludlowe came away with a 35-7 victory behind four touchdowns (three passing, one rushing) from Ryan Love. Peyton Sparacino also had a passing touchdown. Jake Palladino had two touchdown receptions, and Jack Danylko and Timmy O'Neill each had a touchdown catch.
*Brayden had the lone Eagles touchdown, a 56-yard run. Happy to see these guys having success. When Ludlowe played Trumbull in baseball this past spring, Jagoe homered. Obviously, I'm rooting for Ludlowe, but I also want these other guys to do well.
There were other people, including former Ludlowe and Trumbull coach and Trumbull football player, Mat Lena, who it was nice to catch up with. There were also people who I wish I would have gotten to see.
I root for good people and good stories, and these are all great people!
On to next week where I get to see more friends and great people.
