Most of the people on this site love to say that HS coaches don’t develop players because they only have them for a short period of time and because they play so many games, there is no time to teach technical skills. They also say that college coaches don’t recruit at high school games.

So what is a HS coaches job then? Win games! Ridgefield has played a lot of games and won most of them the last 6 years. The probably played an extra 2 seasons in those 6 years between all the FCIAC tournament and ciac state tournament games.

It's all about the title at the end of the day and Ridgefield are in the mix every year. Those kid's know how to get it done. You say the more direct approach is not soccer. Can you explain your reasoning?

If STJ who returns almost everyone will indeed drop down to L as the CIAC website says, there is a very good chance that if HS soccer happens this year there could once again be no FCIAC team in the LL finals and that we could have a rematch between Glastonbury and Southington. S'ton returns most of their team which surprised everyone by getting as far as they did LY, and for GHS the graduation of their AA midfielder who came up clutch in the LL semifinals last year figures to be offset by the return of several academy players and GHS' go to scorer from last year would also be back (was only a junior LY). The regular season meeting between those two (scheduled tentatively for Friday October 16 if it happens) could be the game of the year since most of the bigger names on St. Joe's schedule figure to take a step back this year. And who wouldn't want a finals rematch after last year's game? As a GHS fan, it doesn't get any better than what happened last year- winning a championship on the anniversary of the saddest day in our history (Nov 23 2012), albeit against a different opponent.

Feel bad for Guilford which coming off an L title now has a new coach and would now have to compete with an FCIAC powerhouse in Class L to repeat. LL was loaded last year and just because STJ lost a narrow decision to another FCIAC power in the quarters doesn't mean they aren't good enough for LL. They did win LL in '13. But the CIAC has their own way of working those things out with the "success factor."

Guilford have nothing next year. Top players are graduating. STJ should take care of business without a problem.

And how bad will it be for BM and Westhill? Westhill came back to reality last year when they lost their 2 D1 players. Can BM survive losing the best player in the league in PM?

Westhill struggled even when they had the 2 D1 players, because their supporting cast was not up to that standard. As I said in last year's FCIAC thread though, don't think that should effect DF's overall legacy there too much- he still won a lot there in his early years. Last year in R.P.'s first year, it was obviously going to be an uphill battle and they were on the wrong end of many lopsided scores. This year since Trinity is no longer around as a pretty much guaranteed win, it could get worse....or since they are in the second year of the new coach's system, maybe it could actually get a little better? Hard to predict.

How exactly has the Greenwich girls soccer program fallen so far, so fast in the last four or so years? Hard to believe there was actually a time when they used to be a top half team and consistent contender in FCIACs and states every year. And they are doing well in other sports- boys soccer made it as far as the LL final last year and football is of course a power, so hard to understand why they have fallen to near the bottom of the conference standings on the girls side.

In Greenwich soccer has been surpassed by Lacrosse and Crew as the most popular sports for girls. Not enough girls in greenwich are interested in playing soccer on a high level.
