While only 2 game examples, surprising how strong CT teams look against Westchester teams. New Canaan (which was thought to be in a down year) and Staples dominating Mamaroneck and Bronxville. And Mamaroneck and Bronxville have been very strong this season so far vs other Westchester teams.
It's a particularly strong year for CT schools. Staples is legit; watched them scrimmage St. Anthony's and they played them almost to a draw -- I think they're a top 25 team nationally (and potentially only the third or fourth best team in the state).
The New Canaan blowout over Mamaroneck is kind of shocking to me. I still think Mamo is a good team, and New Canaan is probably the 6th best team in the FCIAC (they just got beaten by Fairfield Ludlowe).
I agree with both statements.
I believe the CONNY youth league is light years ahead of HV's youth league.
Also, I admit, several HV programs are active members of CONNY and those that I'm referring to our most likely the top Section 1 teams.
Unfortunately, after youth level concludes, those elite section 1 teams now face, on a regular basis, a lower level of competition.
