Well it is all over after Thanksgiving for many SCC teams. Hamden, Cheshire, and Hillhouse just need to take care of business on Turkey Day and they are all set. For the others it is play hard and then find out when to report to your local passing league. There are some teams that had dreams but now it is over. The Gaels found a way to get progressively worse each week, West Haven took to many weeks to get better, and Hand was bitten by the injury bug (although they still have a ridiculous chance of the playoffs). Xavier realized home cooking is better than eating on the road. So here is week 11...This is the best time of the year for HS football. You have games on Wed. night and of course Thursday morning. So Happy Thanksgiving and if you are from the Valley...Happy New Year!!!!
Thanksgiving Games
Guilford (4-6) at Hand (6-4)Last week: Guilford defeated East Haven 41-6; Hand defeated Shelton 31-14
I actually saw this game once, not that it means anything. Hand comes off a big win and with playoffs still a chance they will be ready
Prep (3-6) at West Haven (5-4)Last week: Prep lost to Cheshire 38-6; West Haven defeated Xavier 37-14
Prep it is so hard for me to imagine you are so bad. Maybe they go out and win one for the old coach who is calling it quits...Maybe...
Branford (6-4) at East Haven (0-10)Last week: Branford defeated Foran 55-42; East Haven lost to Guilford 41-6
East Haven has a great band trailer. Maybe the football team will be better off staying on it for the game.
Derby (3-7) at Shelton (6-4)Last week: Derby defeated Lyman Hall 25-13; Shelton lost to Hand 31-14
Shelton was good at one time this year. Derby was never good at any time this year
Amity (6-4) at North Haven (4-6)Last week: Amity defeated ND 37-35; North Haven defeated Law 51-7
This actually could be close. It will be a big score for Div 2 if NH could win.
Sheehan (6-4) at Lyman Hall (2-8)Last week: Sheehan lost to Hillhouse 45-28; Lyman Hall lost to Derby 25-13
I saw LH on Friday for a quarter. It was 12 minutes too much for me.
Law (3-7) at Foran (6-4)Last week: Law lost to North Haven 51-7; Foran lost to Branford 55-42
Law has no idea what they are doing. Foran only does when they play bad teams
Cross (6-4) at Hillhouse (10-0)Last week: Cross lost to Hamden 10-6; Hillhouse defeated Sheehan 45-28
Always a fun game. They all know each other. HH wants to be perfect and likely will.
Notre Dame (3-6) at Hamden (9-1)Last week: Notre Dame lost to Amity 37-35; Hamden defeated Cross 10-6
Hey ND maybe try for this....Maybe
Middletown (5-5) vs. Xavier (6-4)Last week: Middletown lost to Rocky Hill 26-6; Xavier lost to West Haven 37-14
Maybe Middletown does not get screwed like everyone else does when they go there
Cheshire (8-2) at Southington (6-3)Last week: Cheshire defeated Prep 38-6; Southington lost to New Britain 3-0
The marquee game even though it only 1/2 the SCC. Cheshire which is really only Billy Raggone will go only as far as he does. This will be fun. The best is you can see it Wed night this year....

Cheshire has more than Billy Ragone on Offense. Dan Sweeney #44 the running back has over 600 yards rushing as well. And defensively their team has a all-state middle linebacker from last year in Dave Dillon. Brian Havelchik is their best receiver. Seems like you haven't seen a game!!!! come out and watch
your right, they have a nice balanced team and of course they have the kid Ragone. Best player I've seen in a while.
Anonymous you obviously must be a parent or a graduate. I have seen them twice this year. Here is what I saw...Billy throws alot. He is usually accurate. His incompletes when I saw this week were mostly drops. Maybe Havelchik did not play when I saw them. I do remember a Mazacane though. So anyway when he does not throw he runs all around looks for a hole and goes. Sweeney I am sure is good I guess but their line is awful...Really awful and small. That is going to be a problem for them in the states if they make it there. By the way we are in week 10 and Sweeney has 600 yards?? That is a whopping 60 a game..YIPPIE!!!
Panic----don't know where you can say their line is awful, 6 sacks in 10 games with Billy throwing for over 200 times. Plus add all the backs yards plus Billy's. And for sweeney, Panic if you didn't notice, they are in a spread offense where they throw 80% of the game YIPPIE!!!!! Obviously you need to watch lately
Listen, please put down the Cheshire Kool-Aid your drinking for 1 second.....When I saw them Billy ran for his life (and he is very good at it) not to get sacked and usually turned it into something positive. Please do not get caught up in the stats with them......I ask this...What happened to them when they played a team like Hamden that was able to contain Billy?? What happened when they play a team that is not fast but is well disciplined and good tacklers like Shelton....How did they do then??? OK pick up your Kool-Aid and start sipping now....
Billy Ragone is good...but he's no Mike Osiecki.
does anyone know why Shelton got worse each week?
In case you are not familiar with Cheshire, they played Hamden in week 1 when they lost. Cheshire was also winning that game 21-7 at the half. They are in their first year in a complicated spread offense and really seemed to have mastered it in a short period of time. As for their loss against Shelton Cheshire put up over thirty against them so don't say anyone contained Billy or the rest to the offense that night. Cheshire lost because they had a freshman kicker. Billy Ragone now kicks, problem solved. The Sweeney kid is the real good high school football player. Who do you think is out there blocking for Ragone? Also he leads the team in tackles on the other side of the ball.
Mike Osiecki couldn't hold Ragone's Jock!
Mike Osiecki is the state mvp. Ragone has more around him
Panic cool aid is a wonderful thing. What flavor brings out the best scc bias?
Panic
Ragone gave Shelton fits as well.
Ozzie would ROLL Ragone...Remember, the ball isn't in his hands every play, and he still dominates the competition...
looks like Cheshire-Hamden 2!
