The CIAC Football Media Luncheon will be held Tuesday December 9 at the AquaTurf Club in Plantsville. The event is open to media members and representatives from each of the finalists should be in attendance.
The CIAC had held football finals at a variety of sites throughout its history prior to 2010 which marked the first year all of the football finals were held at the same venue. The CIAC Football Committee and Board of Control approved a change to eight football championships in 2014 with two-rounds of playoffs. All eight football finals will be broadcast on the NFHS Network and selected games will be shown live on CPTV Sports.
CIAC is also looking for media members interested in covering the football finals for CIACsports.com with game stories and previews. Any interested media member should contact Joel Cookson at jcookson
