OT - CT HS Football

[Jimdish255]

I made it my business to catch at least one Ansonia game a year over the last 3 with Arkeel so now that he's gone I really don't need to see them again. Except for the fact that we have a bye week coming up and my local team is traveling that weekend. Well Ansonia happens to be headed to Newtown and since they both have a chance to be 5 - 0 (should Newtown survive a tough Bethel squad the week before) it looks like they may be back on the calendar for an interesting small school / large school matchup. Yes it's just the SWC but this could be a pretty good test for the perennial state contenders. Should Bethel beat Newtown, Seymour here I come.

How does Ansonia compete like they do as a small school and do it year after year? I presume they recruit kids and their parents to town?

You would be correct.

Elsewhere down on the farm: #1 Southington beats Simsbury 42-7 . The Knights have scored over 40 points in each of their 3 games.
QB Jasen Rose completed 19 of 22 passes for 203 yards & 2 tds. He seems fully recovered from the shoulder injury suffered in the season opener.

Did East Hartford win?

They have been so good for so long that they really have the culture established-any good athlete from there plays football. They don't lose a single helpful athlete to soccer or have any studs who only play basketball. ....that is a huge factor.
