Sharp on offense and unrelenting on defense, Bridgeport Central High School?s football team played a terrific game Friday night to win its season opener against its city rival Bassick, 56-0. Now, the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference will decide if Bridgeport Central played too well.
Bridgeport Central?s coach, Dave Cadelina, is the first Connecticut high school football coach to face a possible one-game suspension for violating a rule implemented in May that prohibits teams from winning by more than 50 points. Cadelina has appealed his impending suspension, and his case may be heard as early as today by a three-member panel representing the C.I.A.C., which governs high school sports in Connecticut.
?We have had some real blowouts, and in our judgment, there was no reason for it,? said Tony Mosa, the assistant executive director of the C.I.A.C. ?There were enough scores in that 50-, 60-point range where we were concerned and thought we needed to do something about it.
