Who's up and who's down

Next Week's Big Game

It should be quite a contest when New Canaan (ranked 3rd in CT) and Westhill (31st in CT) face off this week. Both teams are coming in hot off of wins in their previous games. Of course, New Canaan and Greenwich can't both win again this week, so we'll learn on Saturday which team falters and which extends its success.

This Week's Top Game

One of the hottest tickets last week involved the clash between St. Joseph (ranked 9th in CT) and Darien (ranked 9th in CT). St. Joseph was crushed by Darien 42 - 10. As a result, St. Joseph fell two positions in the power rankings.

Have a Day

Killingly has been an offensive powerhouse for three straight weeks after the team lit up the scoreboard again last week. It picked up a decisive 'W' against Griswold, finishing up at 49 - 0. Senior Spencer Lockwood was a big part of the win as his strong performance led the charge (he ran for 255 yards and also punched in four touchdowns). Senior Spencer Lockwood was a key playmaker for Killingly. One of the top players in the power rankings for the week, he earned four touchdowns and 255 yards rushing the ball.

Points Galore

Suffield Academy gave both Deerfield Academy and its quarterback (sacked four times) a rough time last week. Suffield Academy claimed a 37 - 27 victory over Deerfield Academy. Junior Tyler Pereira deserves a lot of the credit as he ran for 136 yards and also punched in three touchdowns. At 64 total points, this was the highest scoring power ranking game of the week.
