PLAYS OF THE WEEK

ON THE AIR

  • North Haven (3-0) at Hand (2-1), Friday, 7 p.m.: 960WELI, 960WELI.com, iheart radio

GET OUT AND GO

  • Bloomfield (3-0) at Rocky Hill (3-0), Friday, 7 p.m.: OK, so this might decide the CCC Division III West title.
  • North Haven (3-0) at Hand (2-1), Friday, 7 p.m.: Hand has improved since being blown out by New Canaan in Week 1.
  • NFA (2-0) at Glastonbury (2-1), Friday, 6:30 p.m.: NFA has been impressive in both of its victories. Glastonbury lost a squeaker to unbeaten Southington in Week 1 but has performed well since. Could be the state’s best game this weekend.
  • Darien (3-0) at St. Joseph (3-0), Saturday, 2:30 p.m.: Or will this one be? Both teams can score. Should be an exciting contest.
