How the polls should be (maybe not how they will be):

1. Madison — any voter not picking them #1 (other than Coach Brockett or Coach Marinan) should have his/her voting privileges revoked. Dominant from Week 1 through the Championship.
2. Xavier — the dominant team in the State at year end, closing by beating 5 Play-Off teams 216-62 and eviscerating the toughest bracket.
3. Hillhouse — completed the SCC sweep by dominating a better bracket than found in S. Reward, do not penalize, the Academics for playing the two best.
4. Ansonia — great history, great 2012 team and undefeated, but body of work does not match up with 1-2-3.
5. Windsor — best team in the other Conference getting 3 teams here. Strong from start to finish, and gave Madison a handful.
6. NFA — feel good story of the year.
7. Staples — great regular season.
8. Glastonbury — avenged regular season loss to a strong Southington team and though over-matched acquitted itself well in LL Semis.
9. Berlin — hung with Hillhouse for 3 quarters; both losses to Play-Off teams.
10. North Branford — undefeated to Class S Final and valiant in defeat against a much better Ansonia.

Yes, three SCC teams at the top, and three CCC teams in the mix. Deal with it.

Here’s how the polls should be:
1-Hand: The SCC team I most admire given their total team play and coaching sophistication.
2-Ansonia: Arkeel Newsome is a man among boys, literally.
3-Xavier: If I had to predict an eventual Super Bowl winner it would be Xavier.
4-NFA: What injury giveth to NFA, injury taketh away.
5-Staples: If instant replay ever comes up for review, Staples will be first in line to vote for it.
6-Windsor: Theme song for next year: Not Fade Away.
7-Hillhouse: Who says we can’t play defense, sometimes.
8-Berlin: They figured coming up aces on the goal line meant lady luck was allowing them to draw to an inside straight right after; doh!
9-N Branford: Kudos for rotating in the seniors while Ansonia kept in their starters.
10-Newtown: At least we’re in the Top 10 and Masuk isn’t!

In defense of CPTV, at least they showed the games…Is it NFL coverage, or even D-1 college coverage…No…But it’s coverage none the less…Better than nothing, and I’m sure they will get better…Remember, this is our State’s Public Television station, supported by members…They just lost the UCONN girls to SNY, which was a big hit to their income…They didn’t have to broadcast High School Football, but they did…I, for one, appreciate that…

I thank CPTV as well and I agree the commentary was amature hour. It was unfortunate that a couple of NFA starters were hurt early but as it was very obvious by the end of the third quarter Xavier’s running game was not stoppable. In the end NFA couldn’t have won this game with Marcus Allen at running back let alone Marcus Outlow. Congrats to X on the three -pete and to NFA on a great season.

Good for CPTV to air the games. But after about 5 minutes of AWFUL commentating i muted it…. they are awful, terrible. Terrible enough for me to complain about it. And who are these people? Anyone? Can we get a little bio cause CPTV sure doesn’t give us one.
