VIDEO: First Selectman Loses in Annual ‘Cuse-Clemson ‘Rivalry Game’ to Superintendent of Schools

By |

First Selectman Rob Mallozzi has been a major fan of the Syracuse University Orangemen since his daughter, 2014 New Canaan High School graduate Kit, began attending the upstate New York school last fall. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Bryan Luizzi is an alumnus of Clemson University, which this year boasts the undefeated No. 1-ranked college football team in the nation. So things didn’t look for the first selectman when the two squared off Saturday at the Carrier Dome, where the Tigers kept things rolling with a 37-27 win. Here in New Canaan, that settled the 2nd-annual gentleman’s bet between the two town leaders, and the first selectman’s punishment is to wear a Clemson Tigers hat all day long.

We heard that the New Canaan Y has put off indefinitely its proposal to “bubble” the Waveny Pool for winter use while it undergoes an expansion that includes a new aquatic center. Officials at the Park & Recreation Commission say the Y is focusing on fundraising now while it works on a plan for its swimmers. ***

New Canaan High School 2014 grad Kit Mallozzi has been named to the Dean’s List at Syracuse University. Kit, winner of a Student Leadership Award as a NCHS senior, finished her first semester with the Orange with a perfect 4.0, proud father Rob Mallozzi said. “She just loves it there,” he said.
