If GHS is your Superbowl, then you won this year...too bad we don't play each other every year...We don't look at Central as the big, bad rival as you guys do us, though...Maybe because we only play each other like every 4 years...GHS doesn't like to lose period!!!, but it's those other teams I mentioned that are our biggest rivals, and who we really hate the most to lose to... I just hope the Hilltoppers can make Staples their Super, Superbowl Friday night...LOL...Go get 'em!!! I hope you can get a great fan turnout.. KyleK,

This happens to be a down year along the HOusy and NC is one terrific team. Don't be swayed by that loss to Central-Nc was beaten fair and square but on a different day they could beat Central. Remember they beat a good Greenwich team. Dear Greenwich,

I don't care if their were ten people watching the game a state title is more prestigious over a division or league title.

I can see it now Coach Marinelli walking up to the podium to thunderous applause for winning the FCIAC. Why not honor Prince Tech for winning their league.
