Man, what a difference one year makes for the New Haven Register. Last year I complained that its online All-State team presense was lacking, this year it got its own home in cyberspace. It’s filled with some bells and whistles, but not overdone. Great job (even though New Canaan quarterback and BlueStreak Sports Training Faifrield County Offensive Player of the Year Nate Quinn made the team as a defensive back).
The county is represented by Mark Harrison (Bunnell), Chris Sloat (Bunnell), Chris Hines (Norwalk), Matt Baker (Ridgefield), Quinn and Kurt Ondash (New Canaan) and Brian Kosnik (Darien).
Also, the Connecticut Post’s All-Star Football Team has been announced, and Ondash is that publication’s MVP.
The CHSCA didn’t announce its teams yet, but they’ve been chosen and the players have gone for their photos and whatnot. If anyone has access to the teams and wants to share, please e-mail me or post them below.

This whole list is very bias. Although these are all good players, many players are left out because there teams arent that good. A couple good examples are Ryan Mannion from Immaculate, Stuart Armstrong from Danbury, and Ben Amy from Joel Barlow. Mannion had almost 700 yards receiving (with 140 against Masuk who is arguably the best team in the state) and led the SWC Patriot division in tackles. Amy had about 1,000 yards rushing with an average of over 7 yrds a carry and gathered up 170 against Brookfield. Armstrong had similar stats to Amy and almost 300 rushing yrds against Rutland, VT.
