CT folks just know that Brunswick, Taft, Loomis, Choate, Avon and Salisbury wouod smoke any CT public school so there’s no point. And before anyone references last years Darien win, that was an anomaly. Anyone who has watched this me teams can attest.
Those schools are all really, really good. They would likely smoke every public school in every state. CT has lots of good public school. I think Staples High School is ranked as the top public school in the country going into this year. Other good programs are Darien, Cheshire, New Canaan, Wilton, Greenwich, Ridgefield, etc....
This whole notion that CT Public schools can't compete with the private/prep schools is a bit off base. On the whole, the Prep/private schools are better for sure and a lot of that is the recruiting and the holding kids back to go to prep school + the additional gift of a PG at the end.
Darien, Ridgefield, New Canaan, Wilton and Staples play a mix of Brunswick, Don Bosco, St. Anthony's, Chaminade, Bishop Guertin, St. Johns, etc. They have beaten these teams in the past too..
Maybe they aren't as good...they clearly aren't afraid.
