There’s been a lot of complaining, whining and gnashing of teeth ever since the CIAC expanded the football playoffs from four to six divisions at the request of the Connecticut High School .
Howdy,

Berlin Lineman Challenge returns as real season nears for Darien, state
July 10, 2021
Southington poses with the trophy after winning the Berlin Lineman Challenge on Saturday, July 10, 2021, at Sage Park in Berlin, Conn.
BERLIN There’s one month to the start of practice and another month to the first Connecticut high school football games since 2019.
A strange and disappointing 2020 is behind the state’s teams. They’ve got something much more tangible to prepare for. And that includes some enjoyable competition at the Berlin Lineman Challenge, another institution that had to sit out a year for the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I think of course we’re having a good time,” Darien senior defensive lineman Beau Hancock said, “but Darien has a history, especially with (strength and conditioning coach) John Carlozzi he’s a great trainer of winning this event. Last time we had it, we didn’t place so well, so there’s a big focus on trying to win this year.”
