Cheshire lost to many good players. Rebuild year.

Ok, I will take your word for it. I thought Cheshire would be solid.

Agreed, Hand Girls lost too much. Graduation and a couple of seniors elected to not return. They will be good but very young. Cheshire, Shelton and Mercy all still could win it. Guilford has the talent but they can never figure out who their best players are. Guilford could be dark horse if personnel gets figured out. Branford is better but not deep enough. East Haven, West Haven and New Haven schools are a joke.

SCC division make up is bass ackwards

Pretty simple stuff with Guilford. Best players never stay on field or even get on field. Tactically clueless coach.

Shelton's the team to beat this year

Disgruntled parent?

Very few high school coaches have enough talent to leave legitimately good players on the bench.

Maybe your kid plays midfield. Guilford bypasses the midfield, defenders launch it 50 times a game

I don’t think the Guilford coach is any worse or better than most. The criticism that is valid is not being able to identify best players and get them on the field together. They have a lot of bad players that chew up tons of minutes trying to appease them and parents. In the end everyone ends up pissed and frustrated. Happens Year in and year out.

I can’t imagine more than one person would think it’s at all funny in any way. What’s the point of posting sprinkles or jimmies or subs?

Not a ton of strength here.

Shelton is favorite. Cheshire too.

Mercy has a ton of quality premiere players, but can never get it done

They put Lyman Hall & Sheehan in same division but not other long time rivals

Why Guilford and Hand don't play in same division is beyond me.

Guilford has some very good players but it's launch and chase.

What idiot crafted these divisions. I love when people that know nothing about the sport or history make decisions like this

Every two years, the SCC reviews and reforms its divisions based on a complicated formula that considers regular season performance and post-season conference tournament performance. Each of the top four teams from this review are placed in different divisions and the the other programs are assigned in ranked order as well.

The league ensures each of the top teams have to play each other, giving the SCC one of the tougher league schedules. No easy wins over other teams in the bottom of the other divisions. All out of division games are then generally going to fall against teams on par with your own program. Makes for a lot of competitive games on every SCC team's schedule.

It's high school soccer. You don't count out anyone before the start of the season. Everyone graduates talent and everyone brings in a new class.

A team like Cheshire or Guilford haven't done much in recent years but historically have been pretty good. Perhaps their younger players are able to turn the tide.

Amity is probably the favorite. Good mix of upperclassmen and talented younger players. Mercy returns lots of strong players as well. Shelton, Hand, Guilford and Cheshire also have the potential to make some noise.

Having been around this for a few years with multiple kids, it always seems that a different school comes out on top each year. Past history suggests it's anyone's race...


2018- Shelton
2017- Hand
2016- Cheshire
2015- Shelton
2014 - Guilford

That 2017 conference semifinal between Hand and Shelton was a classic. Won in OT on a Hand header. Hand went on to roll Jonathan Law in the final.
