Even if the blue wave wins, I’m pretty sure they can’t catch the rams. It will be a great game none the less!

Anyone who can’t acknowledge that Redd and KPL are the best two backs in Fairfield county should turn in their license to blog.

How the team would do in the FCIAC is a more difficult question and your not going to answer it by going back to pre-season scrimmages.

sorry, I have to bitch about this

Last laugh in the FCIAC is not winning states! Ask the NC guys, they’d much rather have the county than the state

County Championship still means a lot – NC has a lot more state championship titles than county titles – b/c of the ridiculous classes in state, it’s much easier to go on and win states than it is to win the county

SPB, does Darien have a chance to knock NC out of the playoffs if they beat them?

Nothing beats drama added to the already heated Ram/Blue Wave rivalry

Whoever wins the state championships have the last laugh. Our area will be well represented in the states. We have possibly Masuk, Pompy, New Canaan, Staples, Central, NDWH and Ansonia. Win the states and then you can talk the talk. Everything that happened before the states means very little.

Let me say this about the New Canaan players and coaches: They took their lumps and took them well. They knew it would be tough playing there, it really wasn’t their night. They all found and congratulated the Central players after the game. They’re far from finished. They’re still a good bet to win the Class MM title.

Although, that Darien-NC Turkey Bowl game looks very interesting now. Should be a good one.

Is the King fan trying to piggyback on Central’s success? I think so and it’s a shame to still be talking about scrimmages.

Dave Choate-
That’s a good point. Baty looked great against SJ and found wide open receivers all day. Was he pressured last night or were the receivers well covered?
Great game in Greenwich last night. Too bad the weather kept some people away.

Staples has shown a solid if not modest or quiet team-concept for a change this season, with a backup at QB not missing a beat these last few weeks and complementing what looks like a tight class of fellow senior starters. Central, under Coach C, has always been about strong values and team-play. That clearly continued in last night’s deserved and well-played smackdown — with some of their standout players taking a backseat to great, ego-less play especially on the line. And speaking of ego, New Canaan finally got its own well-deserved piece of humble pie. Looking forward to the FCIAC match-up and not having to hear from the Ram’s condescending coach (Though I’ll admit it was refreshing to hear him admit he got completely out-coached and out-played last night — Stanford scholarship-winner and all notwithstanding. Lucky it never rains too hard or gets too cold in the temperate Bay Area. Not so in Bridgeport. Welcome to our part of the county, Lou.)

King has no PGs. So its apples to apples. Central did score on 3rd play. King ran all over field as did Central. At the very worst, King is competitive with anyone. At the best, they are King.
