NVL Schedules Released (Mostly), Plus Spring Football

We haven't had a post in quite a while, mostly because there's been absolutely nothing going on. Now there's something going on, because we finally have the 2012 NVL football schedule ... well, most of it.

The skeleton schedules for each of the 14 teams in the league are now up on the CIAC website (although they're only accessible for now if you know how to manually input the address, which I'm pretty good at). Each team's schedule is linked at the bottom of this post.

Most of the schedules only include the nine-game NVL schedule (six divisional games, three crossovers based on power schedule) with home and away designations. Some of the dates are sure to change (for example, St. Paul plays its home games on Saturday afternoons instead of the Friday nights listed, and Municipal Stadium's schedule will take some jockeying). The teams will also add their nonconference opponents in the near future.

If you want to take a look at the full league composite schedule, click here. Otherwise, here are some weekly highlights from the slate (that we know so far):

Week 1: Woodland at Sacred Heart, Wilby at Naugatuck, Montville at Watertown, Whitney Tech at Seymour, Derby at St. Paul
Week 2: Woodland at Ansonia, Naugatuck at Derby, Torrington at Wolcott, Holy Cross at Watertown
Week 3: Derby at Ansonia, Holy Cross at Torrington
Week 4: Ansonia at Holy Cross, Naugatuck at Sacred Heart, Torrington at St. Paul

Week 9: Woodland at Wolcott, Ansonia at Wilby, Torrington at Sacred Heart

We'll have more regular posts coming soon (and hopefully some spring schedules) because I'll be done with college by the end of the week. Yippie.
