Week 4 GameTimeCT / Register Top 10 Football Poll: Ansonia still No. 1; North Haven, Shelton debut

Mike Pucci | September 30, 2013

With a 62-13 victory over Holy Cross Friday night, Ansonia remained atop the GameTimeCT/New Haven Register Top 10 football poll heading into Week 3.

The next six teams fell into line from last week. New Canaan, which crushed Greenwich 66-20, stayed at No. 2. Norwich Free Academy needed a strong second half to brush back Fitch, and stayed at No. 3.

Middletown, an overwhelming winner over Bristol Eastern, cemented its spot at No. 4. Southington, St. Joseph and Newtown also stayed put.

The biggest change was North Haven, which debuted at No. 8 after being snubbed for a poll spot a week ago despite toppling then-No. 2 Xavier.

Shelton usurped Windsor for the No. 10 spot.

Mike Pucci’s Bottom Line

  • 1. Ansonia (3-0) — Last week: Def. Holy Cross 62-13; This week: Wilby, Friday, 7 p.m.
    Bottom line: Holy Cross actually led 13-7 before the Chargers scored 55 unanswered points.
  • 2. New Canaan (3-0) — Last week: Def. Greenwich 66-20; This week: Fairfield Warde, Friday, 7 p.m.
    Bottom line: Linebacker Cole Harris returned an interception for a touchdown and blocked a punt for the Rams in their rout over the Cardinals.
  • 3. Norwich Free Acad. (2-0) — Last week: Def. Fitch 40-14; This week: at Glastonbury, Friday, 6:30 p.m.
    Bottom line: The Wildcats should be tested against Glastonbury, it what could be one of this weekend’s best games. Or so we hope.
  • 4. Middletown (3-0) — Last week: Def. Bristol Eastern 40-0;This week: at Fermi, Friday, 7 p.m.
    Bottom line: Dario Highsmith rushed 12 times for 116 yards and three touchdowns and the Blue Dragons defense pitched their second consecutive shutout in the win over previously unbeaten Bristol Eastern.
  • 5. Southington (3-0) — Last week: Def. Simsbury 38-0; Next game: New Britain, Oct. 11, 7 p.m.
    Bottom line: Stephen Barmore completed 24 of 37 passes for 317 yards and four touchdowns against Simsbury.
  • 6. St. Joseph (3-0) — Last week: Def. Ridgefield 41-12; This week: Darien, Saturday, 2:30 p.m.
    Bottom line: The Hogs have already passed tests against Notre Dame-West Haven, Fairfield Prep and Ridgefield. Can they do the same against unbeaten Darien?
  • 7. Newtown (3-0) — Last week: Def. Brookfield 35-7; This week: at Barlow, Friday, 7 p.m.
    Bottom line: The Nighthawks played their most complete game of the season last week. Now, Newtown prepares for unbeaten Barlow.
  • 8. North Haven (3-0) — Last week: Def. East Haven 54-28; This week: at Hand, Friday, 7 p.m.
    Bottom line: The Indians reach the Top 10, albeit a week late. Their reward is a trip to the Surf Club to play a Hand squad that is improving each week.
  • 9. Masuk (3-0) — Last week: Def. Bunnell 44-20; This week: at Oxford, Friday, 7 p.m.
    Bottom line: The Panthers rolled past an athletic Bunnell team. Masuk has scored 170 points, tops in the state through three weeks.
  • 10. Shelton (3-0) — Last week: Def. Amity 49-30; This week: at Foran, Friday, 7 p.m.
    Bottom line: The Gaels leap into the Top 10 for the first time this season. Shelton better not look past a pesky Foran squad, or it will be a short stay in the poll.
