Last winter the CIAC and Max Preps signed an agreement naming Max Preps as the "Official Statistician and Media Partner". I decided, with the start of football season about a month away, to check out their site. Nothing, other than schedules, have been loaded on the site yet this year, but looking at some other areas I did find where St. Paul/Goodwin Tech is listed as one of several "Freelance" teams. Funny, I remember the Falcons joining the NVL a year ago. I also read on the St. Paul web site that the CIAC has rejected St. Paul's appeal to allow nine players from Goodwin Tech to finish playing for St. Paul even though the teams are no longer fielding a co-op team this year. Seems to me the CIAC and their Media Partner need a little communication between them.
Looking a little further on the site I was able to pull up the pre-season rankings for Connecticut. The Voyce will tell you how I feel about rankings, especially preseaon ones, for high school sports, but I thought I would share what they have. Looking for the NVL teams they have the schools listed in the following order: 25-Holy Cross, 32-Ansonia, 33-Wolcott, 38-Woodland, 41-Watertown, 54-Sacred Heart, 57-Torrington, 62-Derby/O'Brien RVT, 64-Naugatuck, 74-Wilby, 85-Kennedy, 92-Crosby, 109-Seymour, and, behind the new programs at Coginchaug (134), Granby Memorial (136) and Lewis Mills (137) coming in at 138 of 143 Connecticut teams St. Paul/Goodwin Tech. I guess that 1 point loss at eventual state champion and preseason number one New Canaan in last year's semifinal game really hurt the Falcons more than anyone knew.
