The FCIAC captured three state football championships on Saturday when St. Joseph, New Canaan and Greenwich all won their finals.
The FCIAC is the first conference to have three state champs in the same season since the SCC did it in 2012.
St. Joseph defeated Brookfield 21-20 in the Class M final at Rentschler Field in Hartford. The Hogs’ title was their 18th overall and their first since 2019. It was the second straight game that St. Joseph defeated a previously-unbeaten team after topping Daniel Hand 17-10 in the semifinals.
New Canaan captured its third straight Class L title when the Rams defeated Darien 25-21 at Arute Field in New Britain. New Canaan has won 15 state championships, including 11 since 2006.
Greenwich wrapped up the weekend with a 14-0 shutout of West Haven in the Class LL final at Arute Field in New Britain. The Cardinals have won 10 state championships and two in the last three seasons.
The FCIAC had a great postseason, going 12-3 overall, including a perfect 9-0 against other conferences. The league’s three losses were all in head-to-head matchups of FCIAC teams.
