Newington, CT January 11, 2011: The Policy Board of the Central Connecticut Conference, one of the largest and oldest high school athletic conferences in Connecticut, voted to realign its football divisions at a special meeting held at the Newington Board of Education on Friday, January 7, 2011.
The most recent realignment was completed in 2008 to accommodate the admission of the schools from the former Northwest Conference. At that time it was decided to revisit this issue after two years.
The primary consideration for football realignment was school size (CIAC Boy enrollment). Three divisions ( LL, L and M/S division) were created. Each division was then broken into subdivisions based on geography (except Division Three which consists of all of the conferences ‘M’ and ‘S’ schools [with the smallest L school placed into this division to provide balance]).
The new alignment was the result of the work of a realignment committee consisting of administrators and athletic directors representing a cross section of the conference under the leadership of Jim Wenker, Principal, Newington High School.
The new alignment will be in effect for the 2011 and 2012 football seasons.
All existing Thanksgiving rivalries will continue.
The Central Connecticut Conference was established in 1984 and has grown over the years to its present thirty two schools.
