WE HAVE A WINNER!!  Thank you for voting.

Town Fair Tire was the presenting sponsor of the SCC’s “Best of… for 2019-20,” an online poll to determine the best moment or performance in the Southern Connecticut Conference during the academic year.  More than 6,000 votes were cast.

The Winner:   GUILFORD GIRLS SOCCER

After winning its first SCC title since 2014, the Guilford girls soccer team proceeds to win five more matches, culminating with a 2-1 victory over East Lyme in the Class L state title game on November 23.

Three student athletes – Mia Lawrence (Mercy), Edwin James Figueroa (Hamden) and Kyle Maruca (North Haven) – are the recipients of the 2020 SCC “Comeback Player of the Year” awards.  All three students suffered severe injuries, yet were able to overcome them to become outstanding role models in their respective schools. 

A corporate sponsor of the Southern Connecticut Conference (SCC), Connecticut Orthopaedics has offered a Comeback Player of the Year Scholarship for student-athletes who participated in an interscholastic sport during the 2019-2020 academic year and showed great leadership both on and off the field after their severe injury.  Coaches and school’s athletic directors nominated these student-athletes after they each suffered an unfortunate injury that prohibited them from playing for their high school teams. All three will receive a financial scholarship to be used for their college education.

The CIAC, in conjunction with the Connecticut State Medical Society Sports Medicine Committee, has released guidance for the resocialization of interscholastic athletics and activities programs. The document was also vetted by CAPSS, CABE, CAAD, and the CATA.

The document is intended to provide guidance on considerations for safely returning to interscholastic athletics and activities experiences. It is understood that the guidelines do not fully mitigate any COVID-19 risk and, therefore, school districts, parents, athletes, coaches, and officials should make individual determinations on when it is safe to return. School districts should consult their local departments of public health prior to implementing a return to in-person athletics or activities.

The guidance does not change any previous decisions of the CIAC Board of Control or other CIAC regulations.
