Down on the farm preview 2011

[coachcap]

Too damn lazy to cut & paste after last night & The Giants messing up my weekend. Today's Hartford Courant had a full page on high school football. It was a great read: had previews of new head coaches in greater Hartford, top 15 players in Connecticut, & must games to see this season. Just a taste: Xavier has a 2 qb situation-their senior-Pat D'Amato-has commited to Stony Brook. Their Junior-Tim Boyle- is entertaining offers from Syracuse & the Thunder Chickens.

Alright, after further review, I'll offer this: Tom Yantz's top 15 players: {It's a Bakers 15}
Aaron Berardino: Sr. wr/db Windsor
Devon Carillo: Sr. qb/db Middletown
Aaron Couture: Sr. wr/cb Bacon Academy-colchester
Brett Director: Sr. wr/db Cromwell

No Cochrane? Eh? Only the returning state POY, on the #2 ranked team in the Courant list, AND A UCONN COMMIT. Jeez.

That is odd. How can the POY from last year (at least I think Cochran won that) not be in a top 15 for state players?

The Courant's coverage only includes Hartford area players. The NH Register should have their football preview shortly. Their coverage includes the entire state.
There was a Masuk feature in yesterday's Register focusing on Cochrane.
