Students lead the way for a pleased audience

Since the year it was created in 1998, the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) has been surrounded by controversy. Not only does this corrupt system ridiculously favor the BCS conferences (Big-12, Big-10, Big East, SEC, ACC, Pac-10) over mid-majors such as the Sun-Belt and Mountain West, but in every season since 1998, excluding the ‘99-’00 and 05-’06 seasons, the BCS made decisions that some might classify as illogical.

The high school seems to be split 50/50 when considering the importance of the in-school college visits. “While some people do go to in-school college visits go to a lot, a lot of people don’t actually go to any…”

A Rainy Homecoming Victory

This past Saturday at 1:30 pm, New Canaanites came together at Dunning Stadium to watch the much-anticipated homecoming game, and no one was disappointed by the outcome. New Canaan beat St. Joes 35 to 25.

“Winning is really important because it sets the mood for the rest of the night…”

“We knew it was going to be a hard-fought game,” said Cody Newton, co-captain and starting wide receiver. But the team wasn’t nervous. “We just wanted to get back at them,” he said.
