Ansonia has won 18 state titles, and (without looking it up) was named #1 in the poll 4 times. So evidence suggests that one in four or five Ansonia teams are truly the best in the state.

And I will continue to recommend that if they are true football fans, and actually watch and understand the game, look at each individual team. I don’t care if their road to the playoffs was tougher or easier. What kind of team is taking the field in the playoffs or at the Rent? What kind of spped and size do they possess? How many weapons and how many ways to come at you? How disciplined are they? How well coached? How well do they tackle? Look at a TEAM and not their conference.

It’s a blog; it exists to express opinions….and biases too, I suppose. But try to keep it informed.

And many thanks to SPB, who has made his newpaper’s website, and his blog a daily must-read. Merry Christmas everybody!
