Connecticut 2024

[Mike75]

Darien 9-7 over New Canaan
Prep 10-7 over Ridgefield

So #1 v #2 seed for all 4 championships Sunday

Thought NC was going to double up in boys and girls this year. Looks like I was wrong. Still take the NC girls in the finals. Defense and goalie are too good.

Prep over Ridgefield is not surprising, but I expected Prep to win by more. I'll take Prep over Darien in the finals.

Good luck to everyone on Sunday. Weather should be OK. WIth the tournament mostly chalk, does anyone have any predictions?

LL: Best game is prep v darien in a pick 'em (prep by 2)
M: 2nd best game with JB v DH in a pick 'em (slight upset with DH by 1)
S: New fairfield should beat somers (NF by 4)
L: Cheshire should beat St Joes (cheshire by 6)

My track record is not great so thank goodness I am not in the prediction business.

Hand gets off the snide! Finally gets their first state title with the win over Barlow, 6-4. New Fairfield pitches a donut, shutting out Somers 7-0.

Cheshire downs St. Joe’s in what was, for me, a shockingly close 13-12 game. They win the state title that they planned on getting by playing in L but man, almost an all time upset.

And finally Prep over Darien 9-7, hell of a year for the Jesuits, extremely strong and poised in close games.

Despite the benefits afforded by going to 4 classes - Happy that the Tigers finally booked a title only 48 years after starting the program (and 11 tries including 4 shots during the pre-CIAC era)- four dads of current players played for the Tigers during those 48 years and happy for them, too!!

Also sad to see Jeff Brameier continuing to deal with health issues - here's hoping he feels better soon. After speaking with him before the game yesterday he is not planning on retirement. To his credit - he stood and shook hands with every Prep player and coach at the end of the game.
