Derby’s Board of Education has voted 7-0 to accept an invitation to join the Naugatuck Valley League along with St. Paul of Bristol.
Here’s the story filed Monday night by Mevin Mason.
Derby wishes to leave the super-conference by the end of this academic year, meaning the SCC must now scramble to fill the void, especially in football which is now down to 19 teams and looking at nine byes (Derby’s Thanksgiving rivalry with Shelton apparently will be maintained under a new NVL football structure).

One thing that was not mentioned is will the co-op between Derby and O’brien tech continue in the NVL?
