While gathering highlights from all the Week 4 games we didn’t have eyes on, we noticed this gem from Ludlowe’s 28-27 2OT victory over McMahon. It didn’t quite fit into our recap of the record six overtime games played last week, nor did we get it up for our Week 4 in review, but we […]
Friday night was one for the books in Connecticut High School football history. A whopping SIX (6) games went to overtime, which felt unprecedented as the results came in Friday night.
