D1: 'Wick as the champion though one could make an argument for both Taft and Salisbury as well. Taft beat Loomis in the Founders Championship. Personally I will say there was more "parity" this year with any of the top 7 teams playing competitive lax. My surprises include Loomis. My disappointments include Choate, who could have made the leap into the top tier but still had a good year, Hotchkiss and Westy which has fallen off the map. But kudos to the Kent Seniors who finally got a win
D2-West: Champion: Millbrook - they played a very competitive schedule and a lot games this year. Wilby could make an argument but they lost the head to head. Surprises - none. Disappointments - Gunnery, Canterbury and Cheshire Academy which has also fallen off the map
D2-FAA: Champion: GCDS who beat GFA in the championship. With the exception of GCDS who is building a solid program, no surprises except maybe Hopkins School who lost a lot of firepower with their graduating class last year but still managed to win 5 games. No disappointments except maybe King who has the talent to compete with the top 2 teams but came up short this year.
D3: Champion: Williams who beat Harvey in the final game. Harvey had a great season though and played a tough schedule. My surprises included them and South Kent who came out of mothballs to play 3 games and play competitively. My disappointment is Storm King who could not field a team and Wooster who should have been more competitive.
See you all next year.
