With games left against Bassick, TC, and Wilton, NC is all but guaranteed to be playing on Friday night November 21st at Boyle Stadium for the FCIAC title. Who will they play though?
1.) Darien. Undefeated so far but still have a few tough games to play. @ Staples and home to St,Joes. It’s possible they may have to win out to get to the “ship”. If it happens it will be played at NC on Turkey day instead of Nov. 21 @ Boyle.
2.) St.Joes. only one loss in the FCIAC due to that crazy “week 5 doesn’t count” rule. If Joes can win it’s next 2 games it will head to Darien with a chance to beat the wave and possibly rematch NC. depending on what greenwich does. (yes that greenwich) If Joes beats Darien and greenwich wins out, all 3 would have only one fciac loss. Tie breakers anyone if all 3 finish with just one loss??
3.) Greenwich. Believe it or not they have a shot but need help. They first of all need to win there next 3. If Darien should lose to both Staples and Joes, both Joes and Greenwich could be ahead of Darien. It would come down to points since Joes and Greenwich do not play head to head. Now if Joes loses another game in the next 2 weeks and Darien loses to Staples then Joes beats Darien, both Joes and DArien would have 2 losses each setting up a NC vs Greenwich title game (assuming greenwich can win it’s next 3).
I will try to find the rules on 3 ways when there is not any one team that beat the other 2. I assume it’s point totals which would probably favor Darien anyway. I’m not sure if Joes could hang with Darien but if the wave should lose to Staples (Could happen) they could be ripe for the picking the week after. I do know if DArien and Greenwich finish with 1 loss each Darien gets in due to head to head win. I have written off Wilton as the other 1 loss team since they still have to play Greenwich, Joes, and NC.

Probably going to be a Turkey Day championship game. I think New Canaan and Darien are the class of the FCIAC this year. However, Darien has a few more games to play against good competition. And the weather is changing. Never know what happens next. Any given Saturday (Friday night).
October 28th, 2008 at 5:53 pm
wow…pretty interesting
Staples is the wild card in this equation…they could throw a wrench in this whole thing
Right now, it seems that everyone is playing at close to the same level…NC has been slowed by the conditions (and good D’s)…Staples is playing very good football, Darien continues to role
If Darien can survive the Staples/St Joes games, then they’ll have earned that spot in the finals
October 28th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
I really think that Staples and St. joes wont be able to beat the wave due to the fact that the wave is averaging 37.1 pts a game. Plus they have the second best defense in the fciac. I saw the NC, Staples game and wasnt that impressed with Staples prefomance until the second half. I was also at the Darien Greenwich game and I was most impressed by the waves defense. They shut greenwich’s offense to a meare 7 points were the darien offense was destroying the greenwich defense by scoring 24 points in the first half.
Now Darien has only played a few games that were very tough like Ridgefield and Greenwich. Also in the past ten years Darien hasnt made a real factor in the turkey bowl agianst NC accept for last year when darien almost beat NC and that would have taken away NC state title. BUT remember almost doesnt cut it in this league.
October 28th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
I think anything could happen in the next coming weeks. Its crunch time. However, I think that Darien will be playing New Canaan come Turkey Day for the FCIAC Championship. I think Staples has a legitimate shot at taking it to Darien – Staples always proves to be a tough game, and this will be a battle of two of the best coaches in the league. I don’t think St. Joes won’t be able to slow down that Darien offense. New Canaan/Darien will be a great matchup, even if its not for the championship. FCIAC’s best defense vs. the highest scoring offense. Still disappointed in the level of play in the FCIAC this year however, not as strong as they usually are.
October 28th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
No matter what the year is, New Canaan / Darien is almost ALWAYS a good game. This year should be great, with both teams playing for possibly playing for a FCIAC title, and a spot in the MM state playoffs. Anyone remember when New Canaan played Darien 3 times in about 3 weeks? I think that was 99, when New Canaan one on Turkey Day, but Darien won it in the states.
October 28th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
Will the cold weather slow down the high octane offense of Darien? Only time will tell.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:53 pm
well, its no doubt that saint joes is the underdog here. With the FCIAC being THE HARDEST conference in the state, who could have called a st. joes championship potential. of course, NC always has a tough squadron as well as the Wave. for some reason i can not see greenwich this year, after seeing them play danbury. yes they beat danbury but danbury had pretty much controlled the entire 1st half like no other team usually controls it versus greenwich. it looks like somewhat a down-year for the cardinals with a mediocre defense. its a tough one to call, but i wouldnt close my eyes on Joes who might actually turn some heads this year.
October 29th, 2008 at 8:40 am
It is going to be a showdown at Dunning Field for the FCIAC championship on November 27th. Who could ask a for anything better; traditionally one of the biggest turkey day rivalry games and with both teams being undefeated. Not only would the FCIAC championship game be on the line, but also the number one seed in the MM playoffs. It could be a big 9 days for the rams and wave, as they have the potential to meet in the FCIAC and CIAC championships just 9 day apart. This is what HS sports is all about, let put it all on the line and see who are the chumps and who are the champs…..
October 29th, 2008 at 8:55 am
To my mind, if NC and Darien actually do end up competing for championships on Thanksgiving and in the MM playoffs, neither would be a “chump” no matter who wins. The players might feel differently at the time, but as an old-timer watching from the stands, I’d honor any high school team that fights through thirteen games to play for a title.
October 29th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
Interesting year to say the least. I dont think Greenwich will be there for FCIACs. St Joe’s has a good squad but for my money it will be Darien v NC on Thanksgiving day for all the marbles.If the weather’s good, NC pass attack and pass defense will have the edge. But you never know when these to match up. If the clock had another minute to play last year, the wave would have won!
October 29th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
I think that you really cannot write off this fciac title as NC vs. Darien, I did earlier but staples is a force to be reckoned with if they can hold on to the ball. I feel they are the best team out of these three but staples could really mess things up for them. If staples beats Darien, I feel that St. Joes can take it to the fciac championship if they want it bad enough. Also don’t get me wrong, since youth football this Darien class has been very strong. Just saying this turkeybowl fciac championship is not a shoe in.

Biggest Upset in CT High School Football History
October 29th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
i am gettin so sick of hearing that staples is better then NC and the Wave. Staples lost to NC when that had every advantage in there favor…bottom line is NC is a better team in sunshine, and apparently in hurricane weather as well. The wave is going to beat staples as well and when that happens i cant wait to hear how the staples guys still get no respect…if they want respect then they need to actually beat the best teams, not almost tie them in weather that the NC offense couldnt play in. Again NC had the ball on Offense 7 times, they scored three touchdowns and fumbled the ball on the twenty going in on the first possesion, staples should be happy they didnt get beat by more, and darien will put an end to all this talk when they beat them 28-7 in a couple of weeks…give it up wreckers fans u always have next year.
p.s. everyone call staples a perenial powerhouse, how much more respect do you babies want?

October 30th, 2008 at 8:37 am
im with you. i hope bassick wins too…that would really give us something to talk about here
October 30th, 2008 at 8:44 am
God bless Bassick! Gotta love their fire week in and week out. And I heard through the Darien grapevine, after their game a few weeks ago, that the Bassick players were classy and tough. The big TE/LB #80 was said to be real good, too, among others.
October 30th, 2008 at 8:49 am
News Flash –
Rumor is that BlueStripe sports is sponsoring the construction of a bubble at New Canaan High School. BlueStripe Director of Corporate affairs Billy Goat is quoted as saying “We never want to see our beloved team have to play in the wind, rain, or snow again. This coupled with scheduling only home games will allow us to forgo any competition in true football weather that may disadvantage us.”
October 30th, 2008 at 11:30 am
Why is everyone forgetting about Ridgefield? They’re way more legitimate than St. Joe’s. St. Joe’s seemed very lackluster vs. McMahon last week, a game the Senators probably could have one if not for some terrible coaching. Their D seemed very susceptible and their offense wasn’t able to move the ball on the ground on a consistant basis.
Mathematically, I’m pretty sure that Ridgefield is still in it. They lost to NC and Darien, but they beat both Greenwich and Staples, which has to count for something. Don’t rule Ridgefield out just yet
October 30th, 2008 at 11:47 am
You guys are unbelieveable. Bassickboy, you must be kidding. Forecast for Fri night: NC 41, B 7 (maybe). As for NC and a dome, I think you’re all just jealous of the program. If you don’t think NC plays under adverse conditions, where were you when they beat Hand in 25F weather, coming back from 21 down in Q4 for last yr’s MM title. And, who else is playing 6 games in a row away from home this year. And, how many class MM open with 3 LL in a row? I think NC is the best coached and most consistent team in SW Fairfield cty over the last 8 yrs, including Greenwich. They get more out of good but not great talent. Greenwich does very well but I think their talent level yr in yr out is second to none
October 30th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
all of you who think new canaan doesn’t play a tough schedule, or only home games….you should do some research before making a post…..opened the season with 3 home games, then went on the road for 6 straight games……6 games on the road, including norwalk, st. joe’s, and staples, back to back to back…..that kind of schedule is unheard of, 6 straight road games….that being said, i do think darien will take care of business, beat staples and st joe’s and we’ll be looking at one of the greatest rivalries in high school football take it up a notch for the FCIAC championship…lets go wave
October 30th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Mstenger,
Ridgefield is all but out. They have 2 FCIAC losses to both NC and Darien and the win against Greenwich did not count in the standings due to that crazy week 5 rule. They have no shot for FCIACS
October 30th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
I couldn’t agree more that Ridgefield is playing great football. But having lost head-to-head to 7-0 Darien means Darien technically has a three game lead on the Tigers, and NC basically has a two game lead (with three to play before FCIAC’s). In a sense it’s not fair, because nobody would want to play Ridgefield right now, but that’s where those early-season losses come back to hurt you. Even Greenwich, at 4-1 in the FCIAC’s, has a better statistical shot at gaining a berth in the FCIAC championship game even though they’re 4-3 overall (remember the infamous 5th game, which was Greenwich’s loss to Ridgefield, doesn’t count for FCIAC’s).
But I’m really hoping Ridgefield make LL States since I’ve no doubt they’d have a strong chance of winning the title even if they came in as the 4th seed. I think Ridgefield will almost certainly finish the season 9-2, but it may not be enough to get in the LL tournament. Of course, they’ll pick up points for every win Greenwich and Staples collects, having beaten both of them earlier this year.
As for Bassick vs. NC, give Bassickboy a little credit for supporting his team. And I did kind of take the comment about NC building a weatherproof bubble over its field as amusing and hardly some ferocious snipe at Marinelli’s obviously great program.
October 30th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
After looking at all the teams and believing in their programs, it’s going to be NC and Darien for FCIAC game being played on turkey day. Darien has a solid team and Staples just can’t beat them (their diapers are too large for their uniforms) and their coaches need to get their act together and call the right plays that don’t cost their teams a tie and subsequent win.
Now when Darien and NC play off on Thanksgiving, this will be one heck of a game. Outcome – New Canaan wins………..why, they have taken their program to the next level. Trying things before all other teams can even contemplate their mere existence. They probably have the most talented, tenacious coaches in all of Connecticut. Don’t believe me, come to any of their games and watch for yourselves.
I know that NC will do right by Bassick and not humiliate them on the playing field. I do recall one game where the parents of NC bought pizzas for all of the Bassick players after the game. Both teams respect each other and I appreciate Bassickboy’s support for his team.
October 30th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
PatPatriot, quit hatin on everyone.
News Flash-
Rumor has it Staples has already lost two games. Obviously they arent the best team, not only did they lose to NC, they got blown out by the same team NC blew out a week earlier. They’re not going to the FCIAC championship, they aren’t going to states. All they got left to play for is pride.
October 30th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
That is the great thing about pride there is plenty of it in Bassick, On that note I would like to say that on this Halloween the Lions are gonna show the FCIAC a thing or two about pride and take down the Rams.

October 30th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Ok my fault that should be something to do not someone
October 30th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
I really do think that Ridgefield has turned around their program after the two losses to NC and Darien, I do think they are better than St. Joes, so although they cannot play in the fciacs, I hope they can take it to the LL finals. Bassick boy08 haha nice, on the last two comments, funny typo
October 30th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
old ball player your are extremely mistaken best coached and most consistent team in the past 8 years i dont think anyone in the state has more wins in the 2000’s as staples does and new canaan has not made playoffs year in and year out. New Canaan has been good for the past couple years but where were they in 2004 where were they in 2003 where were they in 2005.. Just because they win class “MM” state championships every year when they make states with two losses congratulations have fun beating bad programs
October 30th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
staples does not get any respect week in and week out it is everyone against staples Coach P and his staff work harder than any other coaching staff in the state.
October 30th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
when you struggle to beat teams like mcmahon and get repped by ridgefield, u dont deserve ANY respect
October 30th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
if stamford had 1 high school like the rest of you, they would dominate and be playing for fciacs in every sport…there is no question about that
October 30th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
instead they just have 3 teams and none of them are very good
October 30th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
i agree with you, they are not that strong, once and a while they will get a team to go 7-3,6-4,…but your honestly from bpt, if you guys had 1 school you would be lookin at a bpt-stam final every year…to bad that couldnt happen huh?
October 30th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
ya i feel you kid, agree 100%. im just sayin all these hataz that rep staples just don’t see what’s really good. Every year NC comes wit that fire and no one has found the water to put it out. Maybe it’ll be the Wave this year, they’ll most likely have two shots at it, but i just can’t see this kids from NC loosing. Thats what makes them great their coaching staff finds ways for them to win. Whether its huck it deep or pick you a part, their offense is undefendable. so far this yeat they have been holding themselves back by turnovers.
October 30th, 2008 at 11:23 pm
From what i read in the papers/blog(cant get to alot of games, away from CT and when i am home i try to see trinity) NC is a hell of a team, they have always been well coached. sounds like they are doin their thing, good for them. Same with Darien. But anyways Central, you know staples will always be haters! its their way or the high way, their a little to good for you i guess lol
October 31st, 2008 at 8:44 am
i just do not understand what all the staples fans are getting so upset about. they lost, everyone knows they have a good program, and they are consistenly a team that no one wants to play. but we are seeing a shift, when i played we didnt want to play stqaples because they were so good, now people dont want to play staples because God forbid you beat them they cry about it for three weeks. people like coach P and the guys writing on the blog that are obviously high school kids on the staples football team need to figure out we are not denying respect for your program, just for you. because crying about a loss and telling everyone how good you are is class-less and that is why teams like NC and Greenwich will always be more respected then you, because their coaching staffs tell them to take losing like they take winning…with a grain of salt. be humble is the modo at NC and Greenwich and it stems from the head coaches. Richie and Louie are classy guys that even in victory say they got lucky and the other team is better and they are so grateful to get out alive and they dont know how they did it…i will let you in on a secret they are lying, they just are too classy to say we kickied your ass now deal with it. So staples please do me a favor…deal with it.
October 31st, 2008 at 9:07 am
I think that all this discussion is really happening because of that ridiculous week 5 rule. St. joes, greenwitch, and ridgefeld, all 5-2 teams should have equal oppertunity to play for the fciac title. Even though they are not counting it, ridgefield still beat greenwich so therefore they are the better team and should pass them in the fciac standings. I dont know how the tie breaker would work with st joes, but they should definatly be in contention, should darian lose its their games.
October 31st, 2008 at 10:41 am
Staples 08, I think if you look at the talent Staples has had over the last 8 years, it’s much better than NC…size as well most of the time…all you have to do is take a look where the Staples stars are heading to school…it’s very impressive…a lot of talent for the coaching staff to work with
Fast forward to 08…Staples talent certainly is not what it’s been in years past…now is when you find out how good the coaching is…what can you get out of a team of question marks…how can you handle adversity and a few losses (if these boards are any indication, not very well)
NC seems to be able to do this year in and year out with lesser talent…hang with more talented teams…not always win, but hang…it speaks directly to the coaching staff…no other way around it
October 31st, 2008 at 11:04 am
Staples08, I couldn’t agree more w Mike S. NC doesn’t have the same talent as Staples, Greenwich or Ridgefield year in year out. Its about the coaching and the program combined with kids who have a tough minded spirit. That’s why they’re in the hunt every year, often times against LL schools who have much larger classes to source their talent from. They may or may not win out the rest of this season, in the end it really doesn’t matter, but each and every kid on that team will end the season having learned something about team work, humility, integrity and respect, lessons that they will take with them into the game of life. That’s what makes Lou M so special.
October 31st, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Staples08,staplesfan
So youre trying to tell me that staples coaching staff is the best in the state. Then tell me how they just got their asses handed to them by the Nowalk Bears. 17-0
October 31st, 2008 at 11:15 pm
so another week in the FCIAC… another staples loss. Bottom line they suck, and if they want respect they should try this little thing called winning. I cant wait to read the papers tomorrow and how Norwalk has no class and the refs were terrible. Another side note, Bassick has more wins in the last two weeks than the Wreckers. Maybe they should try changing their name to the Peckers, it might add some motivation to get a win.
October 31st, 2008 at 11:20 pm
Guys I am so sorry, I just really thought this was the year we could pull off the major upset. There are still a few games left, and I will say that we can get at least one more win, I really have a lot of faith in my lions and believe that we can do this. Oh and on the note of classiness when was the last time a team complained about playing Bassick. Nevermind that we are one of the weaker teams in the conference these are you men out here playing the game it is supposed to be played. I watched the game against New Canaan and they were giving high fives and compliments to the Rams all day. But that is beside the point
BassickBoy Out
Oh and Stay Classy Staples
October 31st, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Prophet nice call on those cry babies
November 1st, 2008 at 8:10 am
if ridgefield is out of the fciac game it is crazy. We have had by far the hardest schedule in the state NC, DARIEN, STAPLES, then GREENWICH. We won two of those games and we could have picked up a win agaist DARIEN at any point during that game, and if it wasn’t for the bad spot on fourth down, we very well could have. And I think we could beat DARIEN if we played then again. We had a bad game agaisnt NC, and we looked bad, but we also had a young team early in the season. we would easily put up as good of a fight against NC as DARIEN, or ST. JOES, and as for GREENWICH no respect if you get in the game, you only get in because of a stupid rule change that no one knew about, we beat you the record should show that
November 1st, 2008 at 2:44 pm
A little bit of bias Ridgefieldfan, but I do agree you had a tough schedule. Though clearly not the hardest in the state, for you size of a school the schedule should be hard. Take a team like NC or Darien for example, they get more strength of schedule points because when they play an L team they are playing a bigger school, unlike ridgefield or greenwich. Also, the Ridgefield Game vs NC I wouldnt say was bad, just a young team getting used to starting (which NC has done very well this year). It was very close until the end of the second quarter, and ridgefield began to let it get out of hand. Anywho, Bassickboy your right about Bassick. No personal fouls last night and your players rarely get frustrated enough to take it out on the other team.
I ahve little faith in ST Joes making it to FCIACs they are the worst of the three and it seems near impossible for greenwich to get in. Plus a Turkeybowl FCIAC championship would be great and the players wouldn’t have to play on nasty astroturf. (no offense Stamford, love the stadium, hate the field)
November 1st, 2008 at 10:09 pm
I was at the nc bassick game and i have to agree. even though nc won 42 0 bassick showed a lot of class. they were playing for pride and they proved it. as far as the FCIAC championship, it will be the Rams vs the Wave in my opinion. Staples is done, Greenwich is only in it still by the skin of their teeth with that bogus week, St. Joe’s got rocked by NC, and ridgefield is basically done. if darien can survive, well see them in the championship. GO NC!
November 2nd, 2008 at 12:44 am
So this is what’s going on…
1) I was on the sidelines watching the bassick/nc game. Bassick is hands down the most classy team in the fciac. Even though they are down 5 or 6 TD’s they still are giving daps. So bassickboy08 i gotta hand it to you, your boys have moxy.
2) Staples loss to Norwalk was expected. Once NC ruined their season they lost everything they were playing for. lets be honest, after being used to winning and a winning program after that is taken away, no one wants to play for pride.
3) RidgefieldFan5678 is Matt White, i can tell by the way he whines.
4) It’s going to be NC vs. Darien, and its going to be the best Connecticut High School football game played in the last 10 years.
5) Blue Wave Pride!
November 2nd, 2008 at 12:29 pm
any takers for sj after big win over danbury? the game that will decide the title is sj darien in two weeks at home in darien, only time will tell.
November 2nd, 2008 at 6:12 pm
not matt white, good guess thou
November 2nd, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Sorry to inform you Mr. Ridgefield but you guys are pretty much in the far shot range. With NC and Darien still undefeated, Greenwich with only “1″ FCIAC loss. Staples and Wilton are obviously out of the picture with their losses. You and Norwalk High both have two losses so if you can’t yourself in, mine as well count them back in.
November 2nd, 2008 at 8:27 pm
**COUNT
November 3rd, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Hey bassickboy, you’re right, your team is a class act. Friday night was a great scene. They never gave up and I liked the mood on the side line. A lot of heart! Being at JFK stadium brought back lots of memories from the early 70s when I was last there. Do you remember the U of B purple knights playing before 12000 noisy fans. My how times have changed. Good luck the rest of the way, you deserve a win!
November 3rd, 2008 at 7:46 pm
Darien and New Canaan are both strong teams this year and deserve the spot in the FCIAC Championship. That being said, those optimistic thinkers that believe Ridgefield should be in the game or have a shot must be drinking that electric Kool-Aid. Yes, they did win against Greenwich but that was one of the most physical games I’ve seen all year and they won on some sloppy play from a 2nd string QB on Greenwich and the worst defense we’ve seen from the Big Red in a few years. Staples isn’t the team it’s been in the past, and theyre talent has dropped off from last year, and they just lost a heartbreaker to New Canaan so try again next year Wreckers. I strongly believe New Canaan is one of the softer teams in the FCIAC defensively, theyre offense just clicks too well and theres a great QB/WR connection. I watched they’re Bassick game as well as the Greenwich scrimmage this year, and they improved drastically since the beginning of the year. They got ran over by Greenwich in late August and now they are running train so Lou is doing something right.
November 4th, 2008 at 12:51 am
dodo65, two things…
1) New Canaan defense has only let up 59 points this season (1st by far in the FCIAC). A good half of these points have come against their JV defense late in the game. So calling them soft doesn’t make sense. Hell even if they are soft, they’re obviously doing something right.
2) It’s Bassick. Anyone can run train on Bassick. If you watched a game like Ridgefield, THAT was running train. Keep up your good analysis!
November 4th, 2008 at 1:12 am
I respect your honesty but that hurts bro
November 4th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
A few things…
1) electric kool aid?
2) Darien is going to the FCIAC championship, and winning. we are unstoppable, so Ridgefield and Greenwhich…just stop posting comments on this blog.
3) New Canaan’s defense is legit, but they havent met my Bros Brian Kosnik and Nikki Dysenchuk before.
4) cheer up bassick.
5) stiffy central, are you chris white from new canaan? i can tell by the way you talk.
November 4th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Narryhair, NC v Darien will be a great game, whether for FCIACs or not. Beware of NC’s D. I think your boys Kos and Dysen met them last yr and didn’t come out on top. They are much better than they get credit for, particularly against the pass. When was last time Wave beat NC? Feels like a long while. Not sure this will be your year although nothing wrong w hoping.
November 4th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
Ok guys I appreciate the support and sympathy but I don’t think we are going to need it all that much. I am going to go on the limb(very small one) and say that we will take down Warde this week. I would like to predict and old school football game that we will come out on top of.
Final Score:
Bassick 13
Warde 12
Oh and Narryhair I looked up stats on that Chris White boy you mentioned and he is pretty good. He had an interception return for a touchdown against Warde this year could be an X-factor in the FCIAC Championship or Turkey Bowl.

DODO – NC’s defense is soft. You are straight up tripping, both you boys whomever those faggots on darien may be you said will make an impact guess again dirubio is gonna knock dem fools out and if he dont then you just make a trip over to the NC sideline of the turkey bowl and you could see NC”s real deal yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hearddddddddddddd

narry hair i was looking at rosters today at work because i am bored and i refuse to actually do anything and there is a kid on NC named harry nair…so i am coming to believe that between your reversed named and your above post saying that someone talks like a player on NC (which if your from darien why would you know any NC fags) that you are actually a double agent pretending to be from darien but actually from New Canaan…you guys are tricky

Thank you Mr. Parry, Guys I really think that we need to all stop and remember why we play this this game and what we play for. I really love what Mr. Parry has done with website and everything else for the FCIAC. I think we should all just remember this game is for the players and the fans, but as fans we can not approve the privileges we are given.
I hope we all take the time to remember why we do this, and thank God for the opportunities this game has presented us.

As a Greenwich native it pains me to say this but whoever said Staples doesn’t get enough credit sadly is right…Year in and year out they battle with the best of them and are always mixed in the elite soup. This year the only commentary I have seen was when they lost. That staff has done some ridiculous things with the talent pool they are dealt with. Having family and friends within the Wrecker system I know those kids, some are indeed tough, but some just are not. If you put the coaching staff of Staples in a system like Stamford god knows how much damage they can do. And as a Cardinal fan am happy for that. Anyway the old Red and White shouldn’t be counted out because they can smash any team any day. Top ten team without a doubt.

Well I don’t even know what to say. You know I will be honest I have found it very tough to keep my head up the past few seasons as I really started to follow the team closer and closer. As I look at the last two games of the year, I just dont see me looking up to see the sun shining. Hopefully Trinity will not be the shalacking I am foreseeing, but then again we did beat Harding. Anyways I know my Lions know they have my support and I could not be prouder of any team than I am of this one.
I am gonna go ahead and make an early prediction but upsets for thanksgiving,
Staples 22
Greenwich 19
Darien 19
New Canaan 18
