Even if things were shuffled around here and there, the power rankings for this week won't seem too unfamiliar if you've been following along. Don't let that fool you into thinking nothing interesting happened, though. A special shoutout goes to Darien's senior Joyce, who scored five touchdowns in the team's most recent match.
No Stoppin 'Em
Fitch was the better team in every quarter against Branford last week and consequently the better team overall. Fitch put the hurt on Branford with a conclusive 72 - 26 victory. The Branford defense has struggled this season (giving up an average of 34 points per game), and Fitch took advantage of that. The combined 98-point effort made this the highest-scoring game in the power rankings for the week.
Big Showdown
The battle between St. Joseph (ranked 4th in the power rankings) and Ridgefield (ranked 10th) turned out to be a fierce competition. St. Joseph came out on top in a nail-biter against Ridgefield, sneaking past 38 - 35. The win raised St. Joseph up two spots in the power rankings.
Movin on Up
North Haven will have a better view of things this week after its strong showing last week propelled it four spots up the power rankings. That was the biggest rise of the week. It blew past Pomperaug 42 - 14. North Haven was heavily favored coming into this contest, and the results showcase why.
