The Southern Connecticut Conference has finalized its 2018 football schedule.  With the recent news of the closure of Creed Health & Sciences High School, which ended the Creed/Career/Whitney Tech co-op football program, the SCC had to fill games of the Howling Wolves’ 10 opponents.

2018 was the second-year of a two-year SCC football schedule, which included Connecticut High School Football Alliance match-ups in week two and six with teams from the South-West Conference and Eastern Connecticut Conference.

“While it was extremely disappointing to hear about the closing of Creed and for the student-athletes were affected, the more urgent issue was how would quickly fill the open weeks for the 10 teams at such a late date,” SCC Commissioner Al Carbone said.  “The overiding issue with football scheduling is ensuring competitive matchups.  The majority of SCC teams affected by Creed's closing were in Tier 3, and it took some some creative ideas to fill the gaps, including two schools – East Haven and Branford – playing a second game, which is allowed.”

Two student athletes – Olivia Coyle (East Haven) and Mark Montano (North Haven) – are the recipients of the 2018 SCC “Comeback Player of the Year” awards.  Both students suffered severe injuries, yet were able to overcome them to become outstanding role models in their respective schools. 

A corporate sponsor of the Southern Connecticut Conference (SCC), Connecticut Orthopaedic Specialists P.C. (COS) has offered a Comeback Player of the Year Scholarship for student-athletes who participated in an interscholastic sport during the 2017-2018 academic year and showed great leadership both on and off the field after their severe injury.

Coaches and school’s athletic directors nominated these student-athletes after they each suffered an unfortunate injury that prohibited them from play for their high school teams. Both will receive a financial scholarship to be used for their college education.
