Originally posted by Unregistered View PostUmmm 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.

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.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWouldn'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

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.
