TOP PERFORMERS
Jason Weinstein, Trumbull: The way things have started this season, Weinstein may take up a permanent residence in the top performers. Last week he was here for scoring a hat trick and this week he topped that, scoring five goals (FIVE!) in Trumbull’s 6-2 win over Ridgefield. That gives Weinstein 39 career goals, breaking the previous school record of 34 goals.
Chris Aceves, Wilcox Tech: Aceves scored two goals for Wilcox in a 2-1 win over Sacred Heart. Wilcox Tech (2-0) has not lost in the regular season since 2016 when they went 10-2-4. Last season, Wilcox Tech went 15-0-1 in the regular season before losing to Wilton 4-0 in the Class L opening round.
Brennan Hughes, Farmington: Hughes came up from his defensive centerback position for an assist on the opening goal in Farmington’s 3-0 win over defending state champion Glastonbury last Tuesday. More importantly, Hughes led a stellar defensive effort by the Indians, shutting out the state’s top No. 1 ranked team in the coaches’ poll.
Ben Goodacre, Barlow: The sophomore scored the Falcons’ lone goal midway through the second half, giving them a 1-0 win over rival Masuk in the season opener.

Ridgefield at Danbury, Monday, 4 p.m.: Two of the best programs in the FCIAC in recent years and two of the contenders for the league crown this year face off in a rivalry game.
Fairfield Ludlowe at Greenwich, Monday 5 p.m.: Two teams picked by league coaches to be near the top of the standings. Greenwich (0-1-2) is still in search of its first win, while Ludlowe has started 2-0-1.
Weston at Joel Barlow, Thursday, 4 p.m.: Another rivalry game and a big one in terms of early-season bragging rights in the SWC.
Xavier at North Haven, Thursday, 7 p.m.: SCC foes have both started strong this season and should make for an intense contest.
Farmington at Hall, Friday, 7 p.m.: The CCC is not an easy league to play in and these two squads are a big reason why. Farmington now has the bullseye on its back after beating Glastonbury.

Shelton at Daniel Hand, Saturday, 4 p.m.: The Tigers and Gaels both have designs on a SCC title as well as state titles. This should be a heavyweight bout.
New Milford at Newtown, Saturday, 12 p.m.: These two should make for a close contest on a soccer Saturday in the SWC.
