“It feels good; it feels like a big accomplishment, not many people make it,” said Tenney.
The reporters who cover high school football for the New Haven Register and GameTimeCT compile the team. The New Haven Register has the most comprehensive coverage of high school football in the state and has been covering the sport for the past 91 years.
