    They played in L (If you saw M you'd know why and you can request to play up) then after three years of success there got moved up to LL.

      It is still similar because similar sized schools in the same geography play each other.

        Ummm that’s coincidental. Conferences/leagues weren’t set up based on school size. Most conferences have teams of varying size. FCIAC is unique in that most schools just happen to be LL.

          Not entirely true - others are also mostly similar in size with a few exceptions for some schools of choice, or Newtown plays in SWC which mostly L, but they're in LL for playoffs due to size

            Sorry but you’re wrong. Conferences are not set up based on school size. SWC is a complete mix, a couple LL, many L, some M and S. SCC, NVL, CCC, etc all contain a mix. The FCIAC is unique in that all schools are very large (exception SJ).

              What about Trinity Catholic?? Talk about a small school.

                The precursor to the SWC was the WCC in the early ‘70s. (Western CT Conference, I think it was.) Don’t recall why the change in name or if towns in the conference also changed. It happened after I graduated in ‘73. Weston High School opened in ‘68. Prior to that Weston kids went to Staples. In fact, conference creation was school size driven at the time. Union Carbide had not yet arrived in Danbury, I recall and SWC towns such as Newtown and the Pomparaug towns were much, much smaller. Same with New Fairfield and New Milford. The FCIAC schools were much larger. As these towns grew, the SWC became a conference with schools from all the CIAC classes. So it was originally driven by size.

                  Wouldn't mind the FCIAC splitting up into two divisions by level of play to make the divisions meaningful and then the top 4 in each division will advance to playoffs. You can match them up to make them as even as possible, for example:

                  East Division:

                  (1) Staples
                  (4) New Canaan
                  (5) Wilton
                  (8) Trumbull
                  (9) Warde
                  (12) Greenwhich
                  (13) Stamford

                  West Division:

                  (2) St. Joes
                  (3) Ridgefield
                  (6) Darien
                  (7) McMahon
                  (10) Danbury
                  (11) Ludlowe
                  (14) Norwalk

                  Something like that, that can rotate every 4 years or so. That way itll make the divisions mean something
                  in some sports they do just that with the exception that you play 4 schools from the other side and it switches every 2 years

                            "Their dreams went out the door, when CL scored the winner....What happened to their plan....Look at their average record, nothing has been all right since Batman, Field of Dreams, Madonna.....Staples High School is uncool, cause they're still preoccupied with 19....19....1989!" Haha.

                            I'm just having fun of course. Actually have great respect for their program and I mean that. When we knocked them out in states last year, I knew we had just beaten a really good team.
