    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).

Other concerns were raised including the changing size of student enrollment in area high schools and racial/ethic isolation.

  • Pollard on a Snowy January Day in Foxboro, Massachusetts the New Engl
    Commonwealth of Massachusetts vs. Bernard “Cheap Shot” Pollard On a snowy January day in Foxboro, Massachusetts the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens played for the right to participate in the NFL’s 2016 Super Bowl. The teams had a rather acrimonious recent history, and on this occasion the two teams were locked in a fierce back-and-forth struggle. The game was made even more intense by the late season reacquisition by the Ravens of Bernard Pollard and the acquittal and re-signing of Aaron Hernandez by the Patriots. Late in the 4th quarter, the Ravens went on a 99-yard drive, capped by a 17-yard Ray Rice (shockingly re-signed midseason) touchdown run that put Baltimore ahead 30-24. With 1:17 remaining, the Pats drove the field for what could be the winning touchdown. A Gronkowski catch placed the ball on the Ravens’ 4-yard line, and after two incomplete passes, it remained 3rd and goal with 18 seconds left in the contest. On third down, Patriots QB Tom Brady rolled out to his right, and Ravens safety Bernard Pollard pursued him. Finding nobody open, Brady threw the ball away. Still continuing to run at the QB, Pollard blasted Brady with a head-to-head hit some 3.2 seconds after the whistle blew. Brady collapsed to the ground in a heap, unconscious and very obviously hurt. While Bernard Pollard did his rendition of the ‘Ray Lewis Shake,’ paramedics rushed to Brady’s side, only to discover him bleeding and unresponsive. They carefully carted him from the playing field.
