Courant Announces All-State Team

Oh yeah, The Courant has an All-State team, too...

And it's an interesting one. It's set up more like a 50-man roster than a first-team and whatnot. And there's a slew of honorable mentions.

There are a lot of FCIAC players on the team though, so it's worth checking out.

FCIAC and Bunnell Dominates Register's All-State Team

Looking online for the New Haven Register's All-State team? Yeah, you an everyone else. At least last year you could find the previous All-State teams. This year - nada. So I schlepped out to the store and picked up the paper so I could tell you who from the area is on the team, which I always consider to be the "real" All-State team.

The FCIAC is well represented, and so is the SWC. Alex Thomas, of course, is the Player of the Year (that one made it online, so someone there is slacking, or a dopey marketer thinks newsstand sales will skyrocket if they keep the team offline).

Anyway, here it is, with the SWC players bolded:
