No. 1 New Canaan coach Lou Marinelli joins the 2024 CIAC Championship recap and season wrap show (S7 E16)

The Meat Grinder

It's all over. We've crowned six state champions and concluded the 2024 CIAC high school football season.

There were a few surprises -- Masuk knocking off No. 1-ranked Windsor to win the Class MM final and its first title since 2004 comes to mind. But for the most part, it was a weekend of Blue Bloods with Ansonia (22nd title), New Canaan (15th), Greenwich (10th), St. Joseph (16th) and maybe even Killingly (fifth) now, packing their displays with more championship trophies.

But it was and especially big weekend for the FCIAC and Fairfield County at large, which won two thirds of the titles. The FCIAC alone won half of them.

Overall, we ended the season right where it started: With Greenwich beating West Haven, this time to win the Class LL title, and New Canaan being crowned the No. 1 team in the state.

This time, however, that ranking is etched in history.

FIFTEEN-TIME championship coach Lou Marinelli joins us for our annual chat with the state's final No. 1 team. He talks about his players, his program's run of success and how it managed to win a third-straight title despite every team in the state chasing them.

Join host Sean Patrick Bowley alongside Scott Ericson and Dave Stewart as they break down everything -- from the final GameTimeCT Top 10, weekend's best plays, the top performances and everything in between.

It's a jam-packed episode you won't want to miss!

So, for the final time this year, join us, won't you?
