Games to watch
NFA at Fitch, Thursday, 7 p.m.: NFA has quietly turned it around after an 0-6 start, which included a 38-36 loss to Fitch.
Simsbury at Conard, Friday, 3:45 p.m.: Simsbury has won seven-straight while Conard’s only loss in its last seven games came to Glastonbury.
North Haven at No. 1 Hamden, Friday, 6 p.m.: North Haven is among a pack of teams in the SCC chasing the ranked teams in the league. None are ranked higher than No. 1
Newington at Glastonbury, Friday 6:45 p.m.: Glastonbury has won seven in-a-row, not allowing any team to reach 40 points in that stretch. Newington has not lost a CCC game since opening night against Windsor.
Warde at New Canaan, Friday, 7 p.m.: The FCIAC is wide open behind unbeaten Ludlowe and these two teams are in the thick of it. If the Rams want to be an FCIAC playoff team, they need to win games like this at home.
Northwestern at Thomaston, Friday, 7 p.m.: The best chance for a Berkshire League team to beat Northwestern should come here in the rematch of a game Northwestern won 36-35 on opening night.
