Who's up and who's down

Upcoming Drama

The big showdown in the power rankings this week is between Cheshire (11th in the power rankings) and West Haven (2nd). Both teams are coming in hot off of wins in their previous games. Of course, West Haven and Cheshire can't both win again this week, so we'll learn on Friday which team falters and which extends its success.

This Week's Big Showdown

One of the hottest tickets last week involved the clash between Fitch (18th in the state) and Norwich Free Academy (31st). Fitch took its contest against Norwich Free Academy by a conclusive 46 - 13 score. The win boosted Fitch a satisfying 15 spots in the power rankings.

Can't Touch This

Darien was heavily favored to win coming into its game last week, and the results showcase why. The final score between it and Stamford was a 53 - 7 blowout in Darien's favor. No one had a larger role in the success than junior Andrew Lucas, who brought his A game into the contest. He earned three touchdowns and 84 yards rushing the ball. That performance made Lucas one of the best players in the power rankings last week.

No Stoppin 'Em

There were a lot of high-scoring contests in the power rankings last week, but the 73-point effort in this one put it right at the top of the list. South Windsor took its game by a score of 42 - 31. Nevertheless, it did not have enough punch to impress the power rankings algorithm and slipped two spots in the rankings.
