It sure is. It's amazing how much these schools have changed in the past 5 years. I have kids at 1 of the 2 Catholics for the past 6 years - this thankfully my last. What we have seen this year is a disgrace. Seniors left out to dry. Weird sophomore promotions. You can have it.

Lets start by requiring the 11 schools to play A conference in every sport but one in each of the three timeframes(Fall, Winter & Spring). That would be a good start to keep schools from loading up on one sport. CHC, LB, MSJ & Spalding already have a jump start with this approach.

Didn’t Mercy just move up last year?!?

Consistently is key.

1. Wick
2. Deerfield
3. Salisbury
4. Loomis
5. Taft
6. TP
7. AOF
8. Berkshire
9. Westminster
10. Hotchkiss
11. NMH
12. Kent

Lots not talking

Did GFS even survive against Mercy?

So will Mercy and Mt De Sales get moved down to B conference. Lots talking about bottom 2 automatic move. What will they do if GCS and Garrison don’t have varsity teams. A 10 team A conference would be really good.

This weeks lines for HOCO

No interesting matchups this week as the bottom half of the division faces off with the top half. I would predict that the scores would be closer than expected as I would assume the stronger teams would give significant playing time to bench players. However, that has not been true all season (if anybody knows why I’d like to hear it). On to the match ups:

FCA v team 91. FCA -6 The division’s third best offense faces off against the division’s second worst defense. I expect plenty of scoring on the part of FCA and a lot of disappointment on the part of team 91.

Crabs v DCE. Crabs -8. My analysis for this game is the same as my analysis for DCE’s last game. In eighth grade you score what the defense let’s you score andDCE’s defense allows a lot.

ML v Hawks. Halwks -4. It what passes for this week’s most interesting matchup, perennial championship contender hawks faces off against what is probably the second best defense in the division. This game is make a break for Madlax as a loss with seals their fate and leave them out of the playoffs. Can they pull off the upset? Probably not.

Team money v NL. NL -6. After an amazing 4th come from behind the boys of NL have their confidence back.

Team Money v. ML. ML - 3. It might surprise some people that I have the game at -3 as team money is deservedly in the last place in the division. But ML has a problem scoring and I don’t see that changing this week.

I will omit this week’s final standings prediction as everyone knows what it will be.

Igloo girls on the rise

Do you detest the NXT spring league as much as you detest HOCO?

Gilman & McDonogh have had pretty much every sport in the A conference for decades

Is it me or is section 1 very mediocre this season ?

You play with sock puppets often do you? lol.
HOCO league, should be called Holdback League!!

No such thing as an automatic move. Always up to the school.
