Around Suffield: A look at Field Falcons history, plus volunteer opportunities and events

Congratulations to the Field Falcon football team on its 14-12 win over the Mogadore Wildcats on Aug. 23. This victory was monumental due to no Falcons win over the Wildcats since 2004.

But this immediately brought to mind the legendary 1960 win by Suffield over Mogadore. These teams have always had a neighborly rivalry. For years, Mogadore won games over teams from all over the area under the coaching of the famous Ned Novell, so this 1960 game was quite a glorious win.
