The Brookfield Bobcats will take on the Bullard-Havens Tigers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Brookfield will be strutting in after a victory while Bullard-Havens will be coming in after a loss.
Last Friday, Brookfield took their game at home with ease, bagging a 63-12 win over Weston. 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 went supernova for Brookfield, rushing for 116 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries. Walters' 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 matchups 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.
Meanwhile, Bullard-Havens had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They came up short against Bethel two weeks ago, falling 31-6.
