Manchester Takes Its Cheating Accusations to CIAC

2010-11-10T05:13:00.001-08:00

by Jeff Fisher
High School Football America

Manchester High School is furious.

Southington High School thinks it's not a big deal.

Now it's the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Association's time to decide who's right.

Manchester officials have filed an official protest with the CIAC over its team's 28-14 loss to Southington on October 22nd. The protest stems from Manchester head coach Marco Pizzoferrato's accusation in the Hartford Courant that his opponent used a Manchester armband that contained his plays to help the Southington defense.

Southington High has already decided to suspend its coach D.J. Hernandez for one-game following its own internal investigation. Hernandez has admitted to using the arm band for "four plays", according to a report in the Hartford Courant.

Southington gained control of the armband card sometime late in the first half when it came off a Manchester player

Great story in the Hartford Courant on why Connecticut's top high school football talent may be leaving the state when it comes to playing college football.

The story comes on the heels of a comments made by UConn head coach Randy Edsall on national letter of intent signing day that questioned Connecticut high school football coaches commitment to checking-out the hometown Huskies.

On February 3rd Edsall said, ""We are better received, in my opinion, outside the state of Connecticut than what we are within the state of Connecticut — in certain pockets. That's tough to say, but you've got to say it because it's true."

High school coaches quoted in the story are...Stamford High's Kevin Jones, Notre Dame-West Haven's Tom Marcucci, Bloomfield's Ray Roberts, Rocky Hill's Dave Coyne, New Canaan's Lou Marinelli, St. Paul/Goodwin Tech's Jude Kelly Windsor's Rob Fleeting and Xaverian's Sean Marinan, plus John Fontana, president of the Connecticut High School Coaches Association.

Vinal Tech and East Hampton Form New Connecticut High School Football Team

Connecticut High School Football Huddle

The Middletown Press is reporting that Vinal Tech and East Hampton High are forming a cooperative team that will begin playing JV football in the fall and then a varsity schedule in 2011.

The move was needed because Vinal Tech's cooperative with Coginchaug ended at the end of the 2010 season because Coginchaug had too many players under state rules. Vinal Tech/Coginchaug qualified for the Class MM playoffs in 2009...losing 39-0 to East Lyme in the state semifinals.

Central Connecticut Conference Expands for 2009

2008-11-09T14:44:00.000-08:00

By Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle

The Central Connecticut Conference will have a new look next year. Friday the CCC's policy board approved the additions of Tolland and Rocky Hill for the 2009 season, which expands the conference to 32-members, which makes it the largest in the state. Earlier this year the CCC excepted six schools from the former Northwest Conference.

“We are thrilled that these two great high schools have come on board,” said CommissionerJohn Tarnuzzer.

Conference President Neil Sullivan, Principal of Simsbury High School, said addition of these schools makes a solid, competitive conference even stronger. “It’s been an exciting year for the CCC, and we are pleased to welcome Rocky Hill and Tolland into the fold,” he said. “In addition, the expansion of our conference has allowed us to create division alignments that make more sense in terms of both travel and competitive balance for the member schools. With 32 schools now a part of the conference, we’re likely to have a few growing pains, but I think we all recognize that these moves have simply made our conference stronger.”

The divisions for football will be set after the season, but here's how things look for other major sports such as basketball and baseball...

West: New Britain, Southington, Simsbury, Hall, Newington, Conard, Farmington, Northwest Catholic.
South: Bulkeley, Bristol Central, Middletown, Maloney, Bristol Eastern, Platt, Berlin, Plainville.
North: Manchester, Glastonbury, East Hartford, South Windsor, Windsor, Weaver, Wethersfield, East Catholic.
East: Bloomfield, E.O. Smith, Fermi, Hartford Public, RHAM, Rockville, Rocky Hill, Tolland.
