#SCC25 - December 31, 2002 -- Then-SCC commissioner (and now Commissioner Emeritus) Bill O'Brien was named by the New Haven Register as its first "Sports Person of the Year."   Called the "Indefatigable Man" by the late, great Register columnist Dave Solomon, O'Brien has spent his life as a passionate community icon - involved in a multitude of activities and organizations. 

O'Brien served as SCC's commissioner from May 1994 to May 2004, and since then, has remained active with the league with his trusty sidekick - his camera.   Each March at the league's annual Scholar Leader Banquet, two students are awarded $500 community service scholarships in Bill's name.

Here is the December 2018 issue of SCC NEWS, the official newsletter of the Southern Connecticut Conference.

The SCC athletic directors have approved a master football schedule (for one season) for the 2019 season. The SCC football league will remain in 3 tiers – with 7 teams in each tier.  All teams (except Bassick) received six games (which includes Thanksgiving), with the Tier 2 teams all getting 7.  

Tier Composition:

Tier 1:  Shelton, West Haven, North Haven, Fairfield Prep, Daniel Hand, Notre Dame-WH, Xavier

Tier 2:  Cheshire, Sheehan, Hillhouse, Harding, Wilbur Cross, Amity Regional, Hamden

Tier 3:  East Haven, Foran, Branford, Jonathan Law, Guilford, Lyman Hall, Bassick

Tier Movement:

Daniel Hand moved to Tier 1; Cheshire moved to Tier 2; Sheehan moved to Tier 2; Foran moved to Tier 3.

CT HS Football Alliance

Tier 1 and 3 teams will receive four games in the Connecticut High School Football Alliance scheduling partnership and the Tier 2 teams will get three.    One team – Bassick will get 5 games in the alliance (because it does not have a Thanksgiving Day opponent).   The Alliance will be scheduling its games – which will include SWC, FCIAC, CCC and ECC – in mid-January.
