The Brookfield Bobcats will take on the Bullard-Havens Tigers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Bullard-Havens took a loss in their last game and will be looking to turn the tables on Brookfield, who comes in off a win.
Last Friday, Brookfield was fully in charge, breezing past Weston 63-12 at home. Given the Bobcats' advantage in MaxPreps' Connecticut football rankings (they are ranked 31st, while the Trojans are ranked 125th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Michael Walters had an outrageously good game as he rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 56 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. Speaking of playmakers, who could forget Nyzir Torres, who went all the way with a kickoff return for a touchdown.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Brookfield was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 249 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 171 rushing yards in eight consecutive matches dating back to last season.
Brookfield's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Danny Ciriello and Tristen Becker.
Bullard-Havens kicked off their season on the road two weeks ago and hit a couple of potholes. They lost 31-6 to Bethel.
