The WEEK 5 High School Football Primer / Broadcast Links / Updates

Sean Patrick Bowley | October 5, 2018

Good day and welcome back to football. It’s October. It’s Week 5. It’s just about midseason. That means a good portion of the state has the weekend off as they take their CIAC-mandated bye weeks. 

The ECC, the SCC and SWC have this week off, give or take a few outliers. Next week, the CCC, CCC, the FCIAC, the NVL and the Pequot will take their byes. That’s what you’ll notice a truncated Week 5 schedule and why your favorite team might not be playing.

That said, there is no shortage of big games. On Friday night No. 9 Southington looks to show unranked, but undefeated New Britain who’s boss in the CCC. @DaveBorges (words) and @PetePaguaga (moving pictures) are on the call on Twitter.

Other games we’re covering Friday: Trinity Catholic at Ludlowe (@reportedbytheap); Trumbull at Norwalk @emfilmer; Warde at Danbury (@RyanLacey11); McMahon at Stamford (@greenwichsports); Bridgeport Central at Wilton (@StevieGSports); St. Joseph at Ridgefield (@EricsonSports); Seymour at Wolcott (@dougbonjour); WCA at Torrington (n/a); Oxford at Naugatuck (@nikonnash); Stafford at Granby (@SPBowley).

On Saturday: ATI at Bullard-Havens (@nikonnash); Staples at Darien (@reportedbytheap on words, @SPBowley on moving pictures); Greenwich at New Canaan (@greenwichsports on words, @SPBowley on moving pictures. We’re also on Windsor Locks at Gilbert/NW and Cromwell/Portland at Coginchaug.
