Ah, the Polls... Who Really Is Number One?
Sean Patrick Bowley can't catch a break. he chose Greenwich as the top team in his Elite 8, and now people are screaming at him on the Post's High School Sports Blog. I mean, he takes a lot of razzing as it is from fans, coaches, players, etc., but it comes with the territory when you're bold enough to call the shots like you see them.
But when the Drinkers of the Ansonia Kool-Aid get angry (not the players, as far as I can tell, they are a class act) ... hoo-wee! It's like you can hear "Dualing Banjos" in the background when you read some of these people's comments! They mention that Ansonia kicked some FCIAC ass in 1983 (when no one playing on any high school team was even born). They say Greenwich was afraid to play Ansonia and had to travel to Florida for a game when anyone with half a clue knows the Chargers were locked in with a Week 9 opponent.
Anyway, go up top and vote for your number one team in the state. And be honest.

Week 5, Kinda Blah!
I'm looking at the Week 5 SWC schedule, and nothing really stands out as a game of the week.
If you had a chance though, which game would you see?
New Fairfield at Weston?
Newtown at Brookfield?
Notre Dame at Pomperaug?
I may his New Fairfield at Weston on Saturday, since I have a class reunion picnic from 12-2 p.m. and it's a 3 p.m. game.
What do you think? Vote below, and leave some comments about YOUR game of the week...
