2008-09 <strong>YEAR</strong>-<strong>IN</strong>-<strong>REVIEW</strong><br />
15th Year<br />
Established in 1994, the SCC concluded its 15th year in 2008-09... One of the top - if not the best - high school leagues in the state<br />
of Connecticut, the athletic success of our member schools has been well-documented and bolstered by the 277 state<br />
championships won since the league’s formation... More importantly, the league has a great tradition of offering first-rate nonathletic<br />
programs and events which seek to enrich our students’ overall high school experience and make them responsible<br />
citizens.<br />

Diversity “Dream Teams” - Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges<br />
Under the direction of retired Branford assistant principal (and current CAS-CIAC administrator) Dave Maloney and in partnership<br />
with the Anti-Defamation League, the SCC Diversity Dream Teams - Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges – had another successful<br />
year… The program held its final session of the 2008-09 academic year on May 15 at the Jewish Community Center in<br />
Woodbridge... Over 125 students representing the 23 member schools participated in the yearlong program and helped produce the<br />
2008-09 Annual Report - a thoughtful and compelling compilation of our schools’ and students’ works.<br />
Five Named Governors’ Scholars<br />
Five students from SCC member schools were recently recognized as<br />
Governor’s Scholars... Congratulations to Katherine Han (Cheshire), Dakota<br />
Spear (Amity Regional), Jacob Stern (Guilford), Adam Strawbridge (Daniel<br />
Hand) and Nan Zhao (Shelton)... Principals of CAS member high schools<br />
are given the opportunity to nominate one junior ranked in the top four<br />
percent of his/her class... An essay on an assigned topic has to be<br />
completed... Members of the Governor’s Scholars Committee, professional<br />
educators from throughout Connecticut, judge the completed<br />
applications and assigned a composite score to each based on rank in<br />
class, PSAT or SAT scores, CAPT scores, and the student essay.<br />
SCC Captains Council Luncheons<br />
The SCC Captains Council luncheons were held three times during the year<br />
at the New Haven Athletic Center, bringing together the captains before<br />
their respective seasons start to provide guidance of what it means to be a<br />
captain and the responsibility that comes with the position and enhance the<br />
ideals of sportsmanship... During the winter session in particular, several<br />
SCC captains were interviewed for a story by New Haven Register<br />
columnist Dave Solomon about their opinion of what a sports “role model”<br />
should be.<br />
Derby Says Good-bye<br />
In late December, Derby High <strong>School</strong> announced it<br />
will leave the SCC to join the Naugatuck Valley<br />
League starting in the fall of 2009... A member of<br />
the SCC since the league’s inception in 1994,<br />
Derby was an active<br />
participant in all league<br />
activities and we wish<br />
them the best of luck...<br />
Derby will continue to<br />
play Shelton in football<br />
on Thanksgiving<br />
morning... In its 15<br />
years in the SCC,<br />
Derby won four league<br />
titles in wrestling (1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002),<br />
two cheerleading titles (2008 and 2009) and one<br />
football division title (2005)... In addition, the Red<br />
Raiders won four state championships – Class S<br />
baseball (1996) and Class S wrestling (1999-00,<br />
2000-01 and 2001-02)... The departure of Derby<br />
leaves the SCC with 22 member schools.<br />
State Championships<br />
It was another successful year as SCC member-schools fared extremely well in league and statewide competition… All told, SCC<br />
teams captured 12 state championships (3 fall, 5 winter, 3 spring) during the 2008-09 academic year… Eighteen additional teams (7<br />
fall, 8 winter, 3 spring) earned runner-up status in CIAC state competition… Since the league’s inception in 1994, SCC schools have<br />
won 277 state championships.<br />
Good Sportsmanship<br />
Cheshire earned the “Ray Crew Sportsmanship Award,” which is given to the SCC Division II ice hockey team in honor of the<br />
former Sheehan ice hockey coach... <strong>Fairfield</strong> Prep captured the “Dick Gagliardi Sportsmanship Award,” which is given to the<br />
Division I team in honor of the former Hamden coach and SCC ice hockey chairperson.<br />
Lights, Camera, Action<br />
The SCC was prominently featured on the WCTX/My TV 9 “High <strong>School</strong> Game of the Week” during<br />
2008-09... The television package kicked off in the fall with football and continued into basketball<br />
season... During football season, WCTX/My TV 9 featured seven games involving 10 SCC schools in<br />
its package... Games were streamed live at www.wtnh.com and rebroadcast the next evening... In<br />
addition, MSG TV also televised a SCC football contest (Hand vs. <strong>Fairfield</strong> Prep) on Sept. 26... It was<br />
the second straight year that the SCC was televised on the popular regional sports network... Seven<br />
contests involving nine boys and girls basketball teams from SCC member schools, including both the<br />
league’s girls (Feb. 26) and boys (March 4) championship games, were televised during the winter...<br />
“Televising the league championship games just adds to the prestige of our league,” SCC<br />
commissioner Al Carbone told the New Haven Register when the basketball schedule was released in<br />
early December. “Televising the football games was a first step, and we were lucky because we had a<br />
lot of good games to offer. Continuing with the basketball in my mind solidifies we are pretty good in<br />
that sport as well. We have nine different boys’ and girls’ teams scheduled.”

The Best of the Best!<br />
You can make a very good argument for the overall strength of the SCC when you look at the final state rankings of pretty much<br />
every sport… However, to have the “best team” is even more impressive…<br />
Girls Basketball – Hail to the “House”<br />
Hillhouse, which won the SCC and Class L titles, finished as the top girls basketball team in the<br />
New Haven Register, Hartford Courant and Connecticut SportsWriters Alliance season-ending<br />
state polls... The Academics defeated <strong>Fairfield</strong> Warde, 65-59, in the Class L title game on March<br />
20 at the Mohegan Sun Arena... Two other SCC teams - SCC and Class LL runner-up Career and<br />
Class LL quarterfinalist Mercy - also were ranked in the top ten.<br />
Ice Hockey – Hamden Dominates the Ice!<br />
The 2009 SCC regular-season and state Division I champions, Hamden (19-4-1) finished as the<br />
top team in the final New Haven Register and Hartford Courant state rankings. Hamden, which<br />
defeated Glastonbury, 4-1, in the Division I championship game on March 21, is one of five SCC<br />
Division I teams (<strong>Fairfield</strong> Prep, Xavier, West Haven and Notre Dame) to be ranked in the final<br />
polls... In addition, 2009 SCC Division II regular season and playoff champion Cheshire captured<br />
the state Division II crown with a 3-2 victory over Enfield on March 20. The Rams finished<br />
seventh in the final New Haven Register state poll.<br />
