Berlin has to take knees the whole second half and gets jumped a spot. Makes sense to me.

Go Wreckers!

Might as well give Xavier 1-5 and start at 6 for the rest.

Friday 10/12 will be huge - assuming Hand beats Hillhouse this weekend

im not sold on hand being better than 5 other teams from this state.

But i thought the top 5 were really a level above the rest. Xavier another level from 2-4. I wasnt high on hand. Maybe i should be now. Great win for them.

Got a chance to catch this game today. Matt Walsh appears to be the real deal. He has good size (compared to others on the field), has a high rev motor and good speed. He seemed to be in, on, or around all the plays. Tough kid. The S+C gurus @ UConn will make him even tougher.

Hillhouse has some quick skill players but they all appear on the smaller side and seemed to get nicked and dinged quite a bit with all missing plays. Cooper (jr rb/db) had a 70+ yd called back for holding first series. Anderson (sr rb/db) had a few nice runs and a nice interception while the sr qb/db Moore had a long run as well. Hillhouse has the players - Hand just ground them down.

I was surprised by the score... I thought it would be closer.

Xavier beat a good North Haven team easily.

I keep hearing good things about Ledyard and Middletown.
