Just when it looked like it was going to be a fairly slow football day with a number of state playoff postponements, the FCIAC and SCC announced this afternoon that after months of negotiations, they have reached an agreement to play 24 games the next two seasons. The home-and-home contests will take place on the opening week of the season, since the CIAC will allow schools to play 11 games during the extra week the next two years.
Here are the matchups:
New Canaan vs. Daniel Hand
Staples vs. Xavier
Darien vs. Hillhouse
Ridgefield vs. Cheshire
Greenwich vs. West Haven
St. Joseph vs. Notre Dame
Bridgeport Central vs. North Haven
Trumbull vs. Shelton
Stamford vs. Fairfield Prep
Danbury vs. Hamden
Wilton vs. Guilford
Fairfield Warde vs. Foran
Trinity Catholic vs. Sheehan
Brien McMahon vs. Wilbur Cross
Fairfield Ludlowe vs. Lyman Hall
Bassick vs. East Haven
Harding vs. Jonathan Law
Because of SCC scheduling conflicts, Norwalk and Westhill will meet in the opening week. In addition, since there are an odd number of schools in each conference and teams need to find non-league games, there will be seven additional contests between the conferences. They are:
Week 2 – St. Joseph vs. Fairfield Prep
Week 3 – Wilton vs. Branford
Week 4 – Ridgefield vs. Notre Dame
Week 5 – Trinity Catholic vs. Foran
Week 8 – Fairfield Warde vs. Sheehan
Week 9 – Fairfield Ludlowe vs. East Haven
Week 10 – Darien vs. North Haven
Here is the entire release that was put out on the SCC website.
If the Bridgeport schools leave then Norwalk and Westhill can fill at least two spots.
Looks like some great matchups. Appears to be very fair as well.
That path gets crossed if it happens.
