Better chance Shelton goes to the NVL than Ansonia to SCC
All Shelton's traditional rivals are in the NVL
What tie does Shelton actually have to the SCC? A couple of old Housy foes that haven't been competative.
The real games were always Seymour, Ansonia and Derby.

What tie other than Shelton would Ansonia have in the SCC?
Played for Shelton in two Ansonia games and would love to see it happen again.
Even though I live in Arizona I still look up scores.

Shelton is not the program it use to be either. The numbers have seemed to dwindle. They were a team that had great skill kids and were huge upfront. The last few years, they've had skill kids bigger then the lineman and kids have quit the program for whatever reason. And the Huntington faction of the school system considers themselves a part of Fairfield county. Shelton should play Derby, Ansonia, and Seymour every year but I don't see that happening.
 
I think Shelton had a respectable year this year. Losses were to : Xavier, Hand, Fairfield Prep and Cheshire (3 pts).
 
I agree Shelton is a better geographic fit for the NVL though.

Also heard SPB reporting the Bridgeport (Central. Harding, Bassick) schools were in talks with the NVL for membership. Any news on that front?

Oxford would be a natural fit geographically. The Bridgeport schools economically make sense and would be great for basketball. It's a terrible idea from a football standpoint. The move would make and already weak league...weaker. Bassick and Harding are terrible. Central has had very good teams but with Coach Cadelina stepping down, I don't see the program maintaining unless they hire a coach who can get the kids to buy into the program. Say....a Jack Cochran. They have the talent and athleticism he loves.

Oxford is split on the decision to move to NVL. The footballers want to move and most of the other sports want to stay in SWC. A motion at the BOE meeting tonight to rescind the application was split 4/4.
 
Murphy from Masuk stepped down today, someone told me he is eyeing Shelton job. Kris you hear anything?

Only what I've read. It could be a good fit. Some people feel there may have been some discussion about it and it's very likely. As far as I know Coach Roy is still there. I think there's a better chance of that then Shelton joining the NVL. Although it makes sense in the major sports, Shelton has many others that most NVL schools don't. I just can't see them leaving the SCC unless it was to join the FCIAC. I think that is where they see themselves geographically, economically, and socio-economically. Besides, Ansonia was 53-10-4 all-time against Shelton in football. Completely dominating the last two decades of the series. I believe Ansonia may have only lost once or twice during that span.
 
No I can't see Shelton leaving SCC either, I also don't know how they are going to pay Murphy anything comparable to what he made at Masuk.

Speaking of Mr. Cochran the rumor I've heard from several good sources is that he may be taking the job at St. Bernard's. Time will tell as usual.
