By Dave Ruden January 25, 2019

The Connecticut High School Football Alliance, formed to help state schools fill byes with teams of comparable ability from across the state, has added the FCIAC as well as the CCC, and today announced the pairing and scheduling of games.

The alliance scheduled games the previous two years with schools from the SCC, SWC and ECC.

In all there will be 84 schools taking part in 99 games. Seventeen games will include FCIAC schools.

The matchups were determined and the schedules set by conference commissioners.

“The FCIAC is looking forward to the opportunity to compete against out of league opponents during the upcoming 2019 football season,” FCIAC commissioner Dave Schulz said in a release by the alliance.

Here is the schedule of alliance games involving FCIAC schools.

Week 2 (Sept. 20): Southington at Darien, New Britain at Staples, Notre Dame-West Haven at St. Joseph

FCIAC Votes To Play 10-Game Schedule, With No Championship Game

By Dave Ruden December 11, 2015

Bowing to the wishes of a majority of league coaches unsatisfied with the sacrifices needed to maintain a conference championship, the FCIAC Board of Directors has voted to play a 10-game regular season schedule, the limit set by the CIAC.

In order to accommodate that, the FCIAC will no longer hold a league final, which would count as one of the 10 games for the two teams involved.

This year, with the CIAC already mandating a bye for all schools, 16 of the 17 conference members played just nine games — Bridgeport opted out of being eligible for the final — and that was because Darien and New Canaan, which met for the title, were already scheduled to play on that day.

Set Pieces: With Balance Up Top, This Is Shaping Up As One Of Best-Ever Boys Soccer Seasons

By Dave Ruden October 14, 2015

What looked so promising on paper only a month ago has turned out to be even greater than expected on the FCIAC’s pitches, where this boys soccer season has far exceeded the loftiest hopes.

Just look at the standings heading into Wednesday’s games. The top eight teams that would qualify for the conference tournament were within four points of one another. It is hard to remember a time of greater parity up top. Usually there are one or two favorites, a couple of dangerous threats and a playoff field rounded out by some solid sides.
