Vote for The Norwich Bulletin Athlete of the Week for April 20-25
Norwich Free Academy junior Olivia Bourdon has been voted The Bulletin athlete of the week for April 13-18.
The Wildcats pitcher struck out 14 and allowed just three hits in a complete game performance as NFA topped Waterford, 12-0. It was the Wildcats’ third straight ECC Division 1 softball win.
Last week saw plenty of standout performances in baseball, softball, boys and girls outdoor track and field, boys and girls golf, and boys volleyball across Eastern Connecticut. While there's no shortage of talent, we went and found the best of the best.
