Two student athletes – Erin Keary (Shelton HS) and Thomas LaTorre (Daniel Hand HS) – are the recipients of the 2019 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 2018-2019 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 playing for their high school teams. Both will receive a financial scholarship to be used for their college education.

"This is our ninth year in awarding student-athletes from the SCC with scholarships,” explained Glenn Elia, Chief Executive Officer of COS.  “Our goal has been to acknowledge student-athletes who have overcome the challenges of an injury and, through hard work and determination, have become positive role models for their fellow teammates.  Because we are sports medicine specialists, we understand intimately what it takes to recover from an injury and return to playing sports at a high level."

 #SCC25 Turn Back the Clock – May 5, 1994

The newly-formed Southern Connecticut Conference held its first-ever meeting at ACES with member school principals and athletic directors, and coordinated by ACES Executive Director Peter C. Young. Young was instrumental in organizing the newly-formed conference.   The Conference still holds its Board of Governors meetings at ACES.

The league members approved its first slate of officers, led by President Ed Higgins (Branford HS principal), Secretary Dr. Thomas Neagle (Notre Dame headmaster) and treasurer John Novakowski (Sheehan athletic director).  The meeting concluded with a press conference with local media, led by the league’s first executive secretary, Sal Cavallaro.  Cavallaro unfortunately would lead the league for just a few months, as he suddenly passed away in July 1994.   Bill O’Brien would replace him shortly thereafter.

First Prize:  Abigail Richards, Foran

The 2019 SCC Arts Exhibition was held at the Creative Arts Workshop in downtown New Haven.  More than 50 pieces of arts were exhibited.  An awards ceremony was held on April 11 with a jury of professional judges presenting awards.
