Local cop gets high school Hall of Fame nod Record-Journal report
Clifford Hill, a veteran member of the North Haven Police Department, will be inducted to the Lyman Hall High School Hall of Fame at its 39th annual induction ceremony Friday, May 5.
A 1999 graduate of the Wallingford high school, Hill was an option quarterback on the gridiron. In his senior year, he carried the ball 68 times for 746 yards and completed 69 of 91 passes for 889 yards. Hill also played in the defensive backfield.
“He played in the Nutmeg Bowl in his senior year and, for the first time in his career, he played receiver. And he was so impressive UConn offered for him,” LH Hall of Fame chairman Stephen Hoag noted. Hill took the offer and earned a starting nod with the Huskies.
During his time at UConn, Hill caught 77 passes for 734 yards and three touchdowns before sustaining a shoulder injury that derailed his career. See Hall of Fame, A4

During the pandemic, “A lot of kids were sitting at home missing activities. We have to open their potential now," Panferov stated. "My work is to make kids physically strong, mentally strong. And it's very important after all this.”
Panferov has both competed in and taught gymnastics. When things started to return to normal following COVID, she joined with well-known trainer Brian Le Roux to get the Recreation Center program off the ground.
Guests, including alumni representing classes from 1972 to 2022, gathered at the School of Nursing’s North Haven Campus on Thursday, April 13 for the 50th anniversary Celebration and Showcase, marking the culmination of a yearlong tribute.
