Here are some quick predictions for the Southern Connecticut Conference:

SCC Hammonasset: Hillhouse
SCC Housatonic: Lyman Hall
SCC Quinnipiac: Xavier
SCC Oronoque: Wilbur Cross
sleepers: Hamden (Quinnipiac) and Branford (Oronoque)
The SCC tournament has expanded to up to 16 teams, or as many teams that qualify for the state tournament. To me, the fun doesn't really begin until the quarterfinals.
