SCC Week 5…So much for 4-0 vs 4-0…

Well so much for two undefeated teams meeting in week 5. Shelton screwed that up. They could not get the running game going and could not handle 6 foot 8 Will Tye. Score ended up Will Tye 21 and Shelton 14. Shelton did complain about the officiating and all my connections agreed it was pathetic. I get a chuckle when you think of like this….A Valley school getting “jobbed” at a private school. You do not have to be in the SCC to have that happen.
I really feel that if you are a bad football team and want to feel good about your program and boost you teams confidence and self esteem you should schedule some division II teams….Hillhouse is unbeaten at 4-0 and is the beneficiary of this “great” group of schools. I have seen Foran and they scored 54 on E.Haven. OMG East Haven must be really bad. Sheehan starts 3-0 and moves up to Div I and gets rolled by Hand…. Obviously Finn stadium is the place to be but WH and Hand is always fun…Regardless, enjoy wherever you go

Week 5 Games

Prep (2-1) at Amity (1-3)Last week: Prep defeated Law 33-6; Amity lost to Hamden 48-26
Should be a good one. Amity can really make a statement and give then something to hang their hats on if they win as they can’t be happy at 1-3…Anyone know why all those players really left the team??

Hamden (4-0) at Shelton (3-1)Last week: Hamden defeated Amity 48-26; Shelton lost to Xavier 21-14Maybe the worst thing for Hamden is that Shelton lost. Hamden has more speed. They are 4-0 just like everyone with a football mind knew if they had a real head coach. Shelton must play their A game…May the best team win.

West Haven (1-2) at Hand (2-2)Last week: West Haven defeated Notre Dame 43-14; Hand defeated Sheehan 35-15
Always an exciting game. WH seems to be getting some swagger back. Filipone will coach em’ up this week that is for sure.

Cheshire (2-2) at Notre Dame (0-3)Last week: Cheshire defeated Cross 33-14; ND lost to West Haven 43-14This is a game where I can see Cheshire finding a way to mess it up. Then again ND is messed up already.

Law (2-2) at Guilford (2-2)Last week: Law lost to Prep 33-6; Guilford defeated Lyman Hall 40-0
Why do I have no opinion on this?? I can not think of anything funny to say either..Sorry…

Lyman Hall (2-2) at Hillhouse (4-0)Last week: Lyman Hall lost to Guilford 40-0; Hillhouse defeated Branford 35-13When I think of Lyman Hall (or Sheehan) all I can think of how bad Maloney and Platt must be…Hillhouse has already started to practice for Prep and Shelton…ooops Cross too….

East Haven (0-4) at Sheehan (3-1)Last week: East Haven lost to Foran 54-17; Sheehan lost to Hand 35-15
And some of have the nerve to say Rusty Dunne was an awful coach. Shame on you!!!!

North Haven (2-2) at Foran (3-1)Last week: North Haven defeated Derby 48-0; Foran defeated East Haven 54-17
NH is tougher. They will be well coached. Sags will find a way!

Xavier (3-1) at Branford (2-2)Last week: Xavier defeated Shelton 21-14; Branford lost to Hillhouse 35-13
Ask the folks from Shelton and they will tell you Xavier is much better at home….They are on the road…….but it is Branford…….

Derby (1-3) at Cross (3-1)Last week: Derby lost to North Haven 48-0; Cross lost to Cheshire 33-14
I know they have a Coach D. there now but…..can you imagine what the last two Coach D’s they had think about this storied program now!
