WOODBURY - In a year filled with pandemic-fueled disappointments for student-athletes, Sean McGee, Nonnewaug’s Certified Athletic Trainer, has been a source of positivity and stability for the Chiefs.  McGee, who once brought his three Labrador Retrievers to practice, is known around the Nonnewaug community for his outgoing and fun-loving personality.   “Sean is very charismatic and loves participating and interacting with the athletes,” said Mia Higgins, Nonnewaug senior and high school athlete. She added that NHS athletes are “so thankful” to have him as a part of the community.   McGee has played an important role in keeping NHS athletics going strong despite the ups and downs of the pandemic era.

Cody Dzis may not be a household name - yet.  If you follow boys basketball in the Berkshire League, then it's very likely you may know Dzis as the sports media producer and host of the popular sports news broadcast The Rundown, which covers Boys Berkshire League Basketball.  However, Dzis has big plans for his future after finding success with local sports. “ [My] future goal is to become a main play-by-play commentator for the NFL and the NBA”. Adding his dream  “in about 20 years (is to call a) play-by-play for a Super Bowl or an NBA Finals.” Dzis, who graduated from Northwestern Region #7 in 2020, chose to take a gap year this past year to focus on himself and, most importantly, The Rundown. 

WOODBURY -- Nonnewaug’s varsity football team may be in jeopardy after the announced closing of Sacred Heart High School, ending the football co-op between the two schools.  Sacred Heart, located in Waterbury, announced on Feb. 12 that it is closing down after this school year due to a decline in enrollment.
