I’ve notified the player’s coach. Once he passes the word along to the player, I’ll post it.
Will we have a player of the year by January 1st? The season ended weeks ago, are we waiting till spring to begin? It takes college less time to decide the Heisman Trophy.
Just breaking some stones…..
Yours Truly,
Big Time
Big Time, slow down! Just kidding, I appreciate the comments.
But first, about Jordan sucking wind against Staples (well, that was bigworm23’s phrase): Did Mark Ingram not deserve the Heisman because he rushed for 30 yards against Auburn? I know it’s apples to oranges. You bring up a great point about good coaches making good adjustments. Staples had a great plan to contain him.
As for the Cochran rumor, the same source of Cochran-to-McMahon also told me last season that the entire Staples staff was going over to Fairfield Prep, and Pinto got the job over there. So I’m taking it with a grain of salt and not enticing any riots.
Now 2009-10 is a different story. We’re talking about a free-agent head coach being rumored for a vacant position, not a coach currently in a job rumored to be moving his entire staff to another school. So, yeah, maybe it’s worth discussing, but I don;t really want to fuel a rumor.
jacky boy to mcmahon??
wow
Tim,
Can you chime in and give us the latest update on Cochran to McMahon? I hear the talks are really heating up. I’m surprised we dont have a post entirely about it………

Renkowitz had a heck of a year. Hes is impressive. Didn’t see much of Baty even though you hear everything about him. Metakavich is a man child. He was a man among boys at times this year. But Tommy Jordan? ugh. Don’t get me wrong, great size, big time recruit, potential and all that but not the player of the year. I have seen him play 3 times. Once was the Staples game where he was sucking wind, had his hands on his hips half the time, and spent more time with the trainer then he did on the field. He is good, but some of you guys are acting like he changed the position of DT and OT at the high school level. I just didn’t see that gentleman…
Jordan had 8 tackles with 5 of them coming in the first quarter when Staples was running up the gut. Staples finally made an adjustment and Jordan was a non factor from the second quarter on. Tim you ever hear of a basketball player scoring a bad 20 points? Stats arent everything, especially when you lose 30-0. Good coaches make adjustments and so do good players. Jordan is a tremendous player and will be even better next year, but for this year Metakavich, Baty, and Renkowitz are all more deserving.
To me it has to be Tyler Matekevich from St.Joe’s…I really think that young man is going up the ladder..He has another year in High School where he can only get better, if not bigger…He’s got size enough already for big time football…
I’ll admit, and my blog handle gives it away, that I’m probably biased, but I also think QB Lefflbine from Greenwich is going places, too…
For me, it’s a toss up….
Big Time, you missed a good game: Jordan had 8 tackles that game.
Here’s Jordan’s stats for the season: http://www.maxpreps.com/athletes/a6lQut-SC0mzirw5Z5cCUQ/football-fall-09/stats-thomas-jordan.htm
Burmaroad what are you talking about with Baty and Metakavich? They both lead their teams to state titles lolol…You want to recommend Tommy Jordan who wanted no part of the blow out loss to Staples. Where was Tommy that game? As I looked across the field in the third quarter with Staples leading 16-0, Tommy was laying on sidelines (complaining of cramps). I tend to think the cramps started when Ridgefield realized they couldnt pick up a simple first down.
all of these kid’s are great athlete’s and will receive proper praise from everyone, but for the fciac player of the year it should be someone who made a difference every game, especially in the big ones. You can start with Baty, tremendous qb, but down the stretch when the pressure really built he collapsed ( bridgeport central game where their defensive assault threw him out of wack). Metakavich, great stats but when you really look at them it’s just stats racked up against the weaker teams and didn’t lead them to a victory when it counted ( greenwich and new cannon). Then Gill is another possibility, who was a force on both sides of the ball but when the ball was put in his hands ( staples fciac final game), he didn’t lead them to victory when they had the lead and dropped the punt which gave the momentum to staples to lead to their victory. Both kevin and Redd could be considered but they didn’t play in a conference nearly as talented as the fciac so their numbers are just inflated from what they would have been against real competition. The one player who stood strong all year was Tommy Jordan, he was a threat on both sides of the ball and had defenses change their offensive gameplan around him. Even though he was double/triple/cut blocked every game he still manage 5 sacks on the year, (including one during the Staples game), 3 deflected passes ( one against Staples as well), and averaged 5 tackles a game. He did this all while having to start every down on the o-line, and played on a defense that only had 3 down linemen as line breakers for the linebackers, so to have stats like that shows he’s a tremendous force. Tommy Jordan for fciac player of the year
Mike Rivas player of the year? Didnt Trinity go 4-6? How about we select a Baty,Metakavich,Renkowitz,Gill???……..I believe we should vote for someone who made a difference on a championship caliber team. Most of the league doesnt even know who Rivas is.
Mike Rivas-Trinity Catholic.
Force on both sides of the ball-close to 1000 yds rushing, must have been close to leading team in tackles.
