And hopefully in the CCC region, it will be Glastonbury.

Kind of hard to find a pro team to follow in that sport when the only NWSL franchise in New England no longer exists. And even when that franchise did exist, the Breakers were a model of futility on the field in the NWSL era. As a result, the fanbase including myself became disinterested and ticket sales plummeted, giving the team no choice but to fold.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostHow do scores from pro clubs relate in any way to your point? Come to think of it, what is your point Rainman?
If the scores from pro clubs were both 8-2 and in both cases one club involved was clearly six goals better than the other one on paper, then there would be nothing strange about it either.
But when an oddball score/shocking result like that happens twice in big time games where the teams were evenly matched on paper, and both years that it happened a tropical storm starting with I came along that month, then you have to start asking questions. And the only reason this year's 8-2 happened in August and it lined up with the storm was, of course, because the coronavirus moved the UCL to August. Otherwise it would have happened back in April or May.
The reason it relates to HS is because in 2011 after those events happened in August, there was no CCC champion that year but there was a state champion. This year, it could end up being just the opposite- there won't be a state champ but there just might actually be a CCC champ! If the shortened season happens this fall, of course.

But now that we've discussed them enough, I agree that it is time to get the thread back on topic. A partial schedule for Staples boys has been released, and it includes Danbury twice. Their first two games scheduled are against Danbury in fact. They have doubleheaders against each of their opponents. But Staples' schedule for the girls side is not up yet as of this morning.

So much stuff going on there...sad. Been building for years...came out on the worst stage possible today. Unfortunate for all involved - in different ways. Just real.
