After starting their season with two straight games on the road, Stratford is finally coming home. They will look to take advantage of their home-field as they take on the Hillhouse Academics at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
Last Friday, Stratford and Northwest United co-op [Wolcott RVT/Lakeview/Shepaug Valley/Nonnewaug] were almost perfectly matched up, but Stratford suffered a 21-20 loss.
Meanwhile, Hillhouse had already won three in a row dating back to last season (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 33.7 points), and they went ahead and made it four on Thursday. They claimed a resounding 49-7 win over the Panthers at home.
Amir Daniley went supernova for Hillhouse, rushing for 94 yards and four touchdowns on only seven carries. Daniley's longest rush was for an impressive 50 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. Cordell Barrow made the highlight reel by snagging an interception and taking it all the way to the house.
Stratford was able to grind out a solid victory over Hillhouse in their previous meeting back in September of 2022, winning 27-18. Will Stratford repeat their success, or does Hillhouse have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
