On Friday Branford will take on East Lyme at 7:00 PM. Both of these teams will be looking for a pick-me-up after considerable defeats in their previous games.
Branford have relied on a stalwart defense averaging points allowed per game, but that average took a hit last week. They were completely outmatched, falling 27-64 to Sheehan. Branford got a solid performance out of senior Jackson Seward, who rushed for 89 yards and 2 touchdowns on 19 carries; unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the win. In fact, with 12 tackles Seward was a force on both sides of the ball.
Meanwhile, East Lyme were averaging 31 points per game entering their contest last Friday, but they just couldn't find their rhythm against Fitch. East Lyme found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 6-39 punch to the gut against Fitch. The state rankings had actually given East Lyme a slight edge heading into the game, making this hurt that much more.
With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games, they will no doubt be looking to produce a better outcome in this one. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
