week 8 preview
I just wrote this and accidentally deleted it. Now I don't have as much time, so I'm going to give you the short, short version.
Me: 36-16 on the season now with my picks, and covering Maloney-Newington and Farmington-Northwest Catholic this week. First chance to see all those teams = exciting.
On to the picks.
Friday:
Glastonbury at Southington: Southington too well coached to slip up against much weaker opponent like Tomahawks.
Manchester at New Britain: New Britian may be complacent with Southington on the schedule next week. But Manchester not good enough to take advantage of it. Hurricanes by a bunch.
Enfield at Rocky Hill: Enfield, big win last week, excited and pumped up. Rocky Hill, looking deflated after Berlin crushes playoff hopes.
Enfield win last year may spark Rocky Hill or give the Raiders added confidence.
Enfield in an upset.
RHAM at Berlin: Upset? I don't think so. Berlin infinitely better than Sachems. Not a good matchup in any way, shape or form. Blowout.
Saturday:
Conard at Wethersfield: Eagles still have chance at playoffs but must win two of three against Conard, Weaver, Newington. Not easy.
Wethersfield was not ready for Hall last week, perhaps thinking they had it won. Hall is too good for that.
This week Eagles will be ready, but Conard will be just a bit better in the win.
Plainville at SP/GT/LM: Blue Devils playing for pride after stunning loss at Enfield. Falcons and Friends are going to be in for another long one, as Plainville will try to put this one away in the first three quarters rather than lose at the end for a third straight week.
Plainville win.
STATE PICK OF THE WEEK
Montville at NFA, Saturday, 1 p.m.: I question how good NFA actually is with a suspect schedule. A week after losing to Ledyard for first of season, 5-2 Montville invades turf field. New London still looming on Thanksgiving for NFA. Things don't look good for them.
Montville pulls off upset, but I don't really know why I think so. Puts New Britain temporarily in LL playoffs.
Whew. That was a sprint. I'm kind of upset, cause I had some really good things written before it disappeared. I guess that's what we get with technology.
Bundle up, folks, it's gonna get cold out there.
