Last week saw the end of competition in several places, including the CIF North Coast and in the Baltimore-area private schools in the nation’s best conference, the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland.
But in one of the better competitions, the postseason is just beginning. The Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference is often a bellweather of how teams will do in the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference heading into June.
