If there is one thing about the Constitution State Conference, it's expect the unexpected.
The league, which is formed primarily of Tech schools, but now also includes public, private, magnet and charter schools has always been a confusing bunch when it comes to tournaments and league alignments. Most of the reason for that is because schools field programs when they have enough athletes to do so, some teams even disappear in the middle of the season as numbers dwindle.
While it may not be a great place for some programs, such as Parish Hill's softball program, many feel the league serves its purpose. It creates competition for schools and gives them a chance to compete for a title.
There are a couple of programs in the league who might aspire to win a state championship, some who want to do well in the state tournament but most agree that a league title is what they're shooting for.
Has the addition of the the public, private, magnet and charter schools helped the CSC?
Norwich Tech girls basketball and baseball coach Nick Spera thinks it has in the girls competition which was lackluster with just the Tech schools. He, however, feels it has really made no impact when it comes to the boys sports.
