There wasn't a ton of movement in the power rankings this week, but there was certainly enough to keep things interesting. We'll tackle that and more in this week's report.
No Stoppin 'Em
Fitch was heavily favored to win coming into its game last week, and the results showcase why. The final score between it and Branford was a 72 - 26 blowout in Fitch's favor. The Branford defense has struggled this season (giving up an average of 34 points per game), and Fitch took advantage of that. At 98 total points, this was the highest scoring power ranking game of the week.
Welcome
Hillhouse was the better team in every quarter against New Fairfield last week and consequently the better team overall. Hillhouse kept its opponent New Fairfield off the scoreboard entirely, winning the match 34 - 0. At 34 points, that marked Hillhouse's largest margin of victory so far this year. Thanks to its success, Hillhouse cracked into the power rankings and now occupies the 24th spot.
This Week's Big Showdown
