Hillhouse would still be tops in m. hand would be tops in L and the LL would still have xavier. If they played a schedule vs only teams in their class you would have the same teams being at the top, tradition as spb says. Ansonia would still dominate the s division.

Is it good for a team to prepare all week knowing they have no chance to win and there only goal is to keep it under the 50pt rule? its 2013…time to reassess and re-evaluate. we are so concerned with making the game safe(and rightfully so) but lets make it fun and fair.

The SWC is the biggest joke when you have their LL teams playing 3 S and also 3 M teams a year. There are a few S and M teams that can consistantly compete with the larger like St. Joes and Hillhouse, but for the most part, it is just too much of an unfair advantage.

The SCC does it right and the reason why they have the toughest league in the state. Their LL and L teams play only 1 M team a season. Each week is a fight. Put a Newtown in that league and they are a 6-4/5-5 team maybe. Time to make equality state wide for all schools.

We have class playoffs but during the regular season a school with 900 totals kids will play a school with 2500+ kids. Or catholic/private schools playing small public schools. Where is the competitive balance or fairness? Why should a school with a 100 kid roster be playing a school with 35 or 40 kids? yes every once in a while there is an upset or two. but what are the statistics of smaller schools beating larger schools in crossover games? what is the average margin of victory for the larger schools in crossover games? is it fair to the players? coaches? schools? programs?

Yes, there is something to be said for experience, but I have seen experienced coaches that weren’t very good. If you notice the same teams are in the playoffs year in and year out. Yet, all the other teams have these coaches with great football resumes. I say give the guy a shot.If your read the article he applied with the urging of the out-going coach so apparently he saw something that was enough to ensure that the program will move forward.
