The second half of the high school football season begins this week, so we thought we would circle back to our preseason championship selections and pretend they don't exist and make new ones at the mid season.
In Class LL, L, MM and SS they are unanimous picks.
Everyone picked Greenwich to win Class LL, New Canaan to win L, St. Joseph to win Class MM and Hand to win Class SS.
The majority of the staff selected Masuk to win Class M this time, after most had Bunnell in the preseason. The majority of them picked North Branford to lift the Class S championship plaque this time after Sheehan was the favorite pick in the preseason.
Here are the staff's state championship picks in all six classes.
