      You are correct sir!

      Here is the problem. This group he has is based around his son. He has coached this group of his son's friends forever. He has let go, not supported, other players with as much or more potential. Why? Maybe because they were not in his son's circle of friends? Or maybe a threat to his son? Hard to say.

      This is the cart he has hitched his horse to. Let's see how it plays out.

        Bingo. Might want to look at athletic department staff as well. Wife works for AD. How school lets this happen is a mystery. Doesn’t pass sniff test.

          Zeke's kid should have been cut way back at u12 unfortunately a lot of extremely talented kids were cut because of him. Even when he wasn't coaching these kids he was still on the bench,riding to games with the coach and pretty much everything else he could do to keep his kid and all his friends together. I don't think we have to worry about him winning a championship knowing his coaching abilities. Then he can head back over to fsa and get back on his knees so DK doesn't cut his kid

                right, but both were at Ferg's disposal along with several other D1 commits yet he produces nothing. Time for a change in both boys and girls soccer at Hall. The choir and drama parents at Hall would never accept such mediocrity.

                  In fairness to Zeke, he was coach of Hall before his kids were born. So he did not start out trying to create such a favorable environment for his kids. However, it has turned out to be that way. There has been 5 years of nepotism on his part with one more to go. Now how the school, town, AD, and parents tolerated this is beyond me. Especially considering he can’t deliver acceptable results. I view anything less then a state title a failure.

                    Not to mention the players who saw this happening and decided not to be a part of the debacle. Keeper at Loomis could have gone to Hall. I guess he did not want in on this mess. There were others who opted out as well. If the program had been run better, it certainly would have had more success.

                        1980! Almost 40 years since a State title for Hall boys.....so lame.

                            Well that didn’t last long. Farmington loses to Newington at Farmington

                              You're right, they sound like an FCIAC school.

                                Definitely looks that way so far on the boys side with their star forward scoring all those hat tricks (some against pretty good teams too) although they did lose one important player to injury. They have so much depth that they can overcome that loss. Still not taking anything for granted going forward though- Danbury will still be a threat out of the FCIAC in states, and the away rematch with Farmington in early November will still be a tough game despite the scoreline in the first meeting and the fact they're in somewhat of rebuilding mode.

                                As far as Hall is concerned, wouldn't say a narrow one goal loss to the best team in the state so far is choking, although their record historically against Glastonbury is not good at all and this result now adds to it. Hall still played them closer than anyone else this season (Wethersfield took a lead on GHS yesterday as well but then conceded five and lost 5-2!)
