    Volume 5, Issue 3 SCC News JULY 2009 Official Newsletter of the Southern Connecticut Conference From the Commissioner’s Desk It was another fine year for the “best” high school conference in the state. There are many things to be proud of – and many of these successes fit nicely with the three core ideals – academics, sportsmanship and leadership - this conference was founded 15 years ago. I congratulate all of our member schools for their commitment towards these ideals. Many thanks to our administrators (principals, assistant principals, athletic directors and coaches) from our member schools whose enthusiasm and vision help drive this league. Your ideas, interest and support are always appreciated! Special thanks to Judy Gallagher (Cheshire HS) who served as the league’s President for the last two years. Judy worked so hard she decided to retire from her real job – thank you and best wishes Judy! Also, many thanks to Tony Jaskot (Xavier HS) who served ably as the league’s Athletic Director Chairperson this year. In This Issue: Looking forward, the league is well positioned to maintain the success it has achieved in its first 15 years.

  • A Historical Timeline
    Southern Connecticut Conference A Historical Timeline Summer 1991 – A committee of five superintendents, led by chairman and Wallingford superintendent Joe Cirasuolo, begin to explore the possibility of a forming a super conference in the New Haven area. Members of the committee included John Onofrio (West Haven), Dave Shaw (Hamden), Steve Gordon (Bethany-Orange-Woodbridge) and Gene Coppola (Seymour). The impetus for these discussions was the plight of four area high schools who were forced to travel substantial distances in order to have a full sports schedule. Other concerns were raised including the changing size of student enrollment in area high schools and racial/ethic isolation. November 19, 1991 – The All Connecticut Conference is reduced to six schools after East Catholic of Manchester decides to leave the league at the conclusion of the 1991-92 school year. March 10, 1992 – A meeting was held at Carrigan Middle School in West Haven with area superintendents to discuss a proposal for a super conference. Thirty-two high schools were contacted about potential interest. October 1992 – Jim Benanto, athletic director at Shelton High School, agrees to chair a Planning Group to develop proposals about the mega conference, specifically divisional formats. January 19, 1993 – Twenty-seven schools attend a meeting hosted by Peter Young, executive director of ACES, with the purpose of reviewing proposals for the mega conference. May 13, 1993 – Twenty-one schools attend a meeting, led by Shelton athletic director Jim Benanto, to discuss and finalize proposal of a mega conference to area superintendents and principals. The conference would be divided into three divisions and three different scheduling formats are proposed for sponsored sports.

We struggled to balance household and municipal budgets, grimaced through a priest’s sex abuse trial, watched beloved businesses close their doors for good, and in three separate incidents, mourned victims of a high profile murder, suicide and house fire. ISo what did we learn? We learned two of our towns trust the hands that have guided them for many years and that the third believes in a homegrown lawyer’s leadership. We learned a lot of folks are willing to give up raises to keep col- leagues employed. We learned Beacon Falls looks pretty good on the big screen, Prospect is home to a $10,000 golf swing, and Naugatuck claims one of the world’s most persistent swimmers—welcome distractions, all. And we learned we’re willing to fight for what we believe in, whether it be for or against a coach’s job, an open parcel of land or a teach- ers’ union’s concessions. We might have learned we’re proud of our hometowns, but we already knew that. craving and a new hockey stick, but the rest of the money dents and business owners. will be saved for college.
