Time to get serious about Little League. It's unlikely we have another Fairfield National story, but Darien LL, has won the CT state title for the first time since 1961!! Same year lacrosse was invented. #ctll
Class LL final four:
Fairfield Prep, Trumbull, Ludlowe, Staples.
Staples, 3 titles since 1979.
Trumbull, 2 titles since 1986.
Ludlowe, no titles, BUT, only reopened in 2003 and Fairfield High won states in 2002.
Prep? 83 years!!, 13 presidents, 1 World War, 0 TITLES .
#ctbase
The Class LL baseball playoffs start this week. Fairfield Prep has secured the top seed. Prep has been playing baseball since 1943. There were only 48 states back then. Prep, despite getting the best of the best athletes since WW2, has NEVER WON a state baseball title. #ctbase
Nobody wants to hear this, but Geno should step down. Not for acting like an ass last night, but because it's just a prelude to an unavoidable ugly exit that eventually strikes down every coach that lets their ego rise above the game. Hayes, Knight, Paterno It's coming.
Staples High School boys state titles by sport:
Tennis: 24
Volleyball: 11
Track: 11
Soccer: 10
Golf: 8
Football: 4

Play for #2 this weekend. #ctbb
Well said, sir. I would argue baseball, by far, is the hardest CTHS sport to establish a dynasty. One pitch, one error, one sore elbow, one case of the flu, one out-of-control prom. A season can be derailed a million times over. Yet, Amity, vs. the BEST competition, dominated.
Sal's 1st year was my sr year at Amity. It was one of my first beats. Later, I reported on the attempt to oust him, then watched the program go from 'will they ever win a state title?' to 'will they ever STOP winning state titles??' Amazing run, coach. Best wishes! #ctbase

Beat the int'l runner up with their #5 starter
Lost to Nevada, but also beat them
Had the best defense, best base running & best-looking moms
Amazing run, all-time state LL team #LLWS
