The Meat Grinder HS Football Podcast Ep. 15: It’s State Championship Weekend!

Staff Reports | December 12, 2019

WELCOME BACK to another episode of The Meat Grinder, your weekly podcast dose of high school football in Connecticut and, at long last, we’ve reached Championship Weekend!

It’s a jam-packed show (recorded Tuesday afternoon) as hosts Pete Paguaga and Sean Patrick Bowley take a look back at many of the eight quarterfinal games, look ahead to the 2019 state championships — including the big one No. 1 Hand vs. No. 2 St. Joseph — and offer some commentary on the frustrating site arrangement for the finals.

They also put some perspective on the great career of New Canaan quarterback Drew Pyne, who couldn’t play in his team’s semifinal loss to St. Joseph due to a shoulder injury. They also talk about St. Joseph QB Jack Wallace earning the Gatorade State Player of the Year.

THE CIAC STATE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF SCOREBOARD/SCHEDULE

And, of course, they make their 2019 state championship picks. You might be surprised.
