We've crowned six state champions and concluded the 2024 CIAC high school football season. There were a few surprises -- Masuk knocking off No. 1-ranked Windsor to win the Class MM final and its first title since 2004 comes to mind. But for the most part, it was a weekend of Blue Bloods with Ansonia (22nd title), New Canaan (15th), Greenwich (10th), St. Joseph (16th) and maybe even Killingly (fifth) now, packing their displays with more championship trophies. But it was and especially big weekend for the FCIAC and Fairfield County at large, which won two thirds of the titles. The FCIAC alone won half of them. Overall, we ended the season right where it started: With Greenwich beating West Haven, this time to win the Class LL title, and New Canaan being crowned the No. 1 team in the state. This time, however, that ranking is etched in history. FIFTEEN-TIME championship coach Lou Marinelli joins us for our annual chat with the state's final No. 1 team. He talks about his players, his program's run of success and how it managed to win a third-straight title despite every team in the state chasing them. Join host Sean Patrick Bowley alongside Scott Ericson and Dave Stewart as they break down everything -- from the final GameTimeCT Top 10, weekend's best plays, the top performances and everything in between.

If the weekend's finals are even remotely as good as Sunday's semifinals, we're in for a treat because Sunday's were ridiculously good.

We had spills, like St. Joseph intercepting four passes and dethroning defending Class M champ Hand and Greenwich dethroning defending LL champ Staples. And we had chills, like the way Windsor, Masuk, Sheehan, Killingly and West Haven (especially the Westies) dismantled their opponents in stunning fashion.

Half of the 2024 field is set: Twenty-four teams have (unofficially) qualified for 48 spots across the six playoff divisions. Those include Fairfield Prep, which rallied from 15 points down to all but dash North Haven's dreams of a three-peatwhile solidifying its place in the Class LL race; and Brookfield, which marched past rival Masuk to stay unbeaten and clinch its first playoff berth in six years.  We'll take a deep look at who's still alive and who needs what to secure one the remaining 24 spots heading into the final week. That includes Manchester, which rode Emmanuel Sampel and Joe Mugovero to a comeback victory over New Britain, drawing the Red Hawks oh, so closer to a return trip to the Class LL playoffs. And it includes the likes of Hillhouse and East Haven, who will play Friday in a game that to decide whose Thanksgiving Day game will mean more than just bragging rights.

Exhibit A is Staples quarterback Nick Weil, who fumbled three times and threw four picks against some hungry, hungry Hogs, yet somehow — with a little help from his friends — lived to tell his fantastic tale of perseverance in the face of overwhelming adversity. Staples' nutty 14-10 victory over St. Joseph, courtesy of the Staples defense and Weil's 42-yard TD pass with 47 seconds left, highlighted a big week of football games as we round the final turn into the homestretch. But it wasn't the only impressive performance.  Jayden Taylor and Ryan Schoffstall piloted Newtown as the Nighthawks' blasted off for FIFTY first-half points to overwhelm Bunnell and prove they're a team a team with which to be reckoned with. Quintez Whittle and Ansonia, down their QB, met every Woodland punch with an overwhelming array of counters and haymakers in a 50-27 win. Glastonbury's Luke Shannon and Connor Finnerty teamed up for FIVE touchdowns in a 49-21 rout of then-unbeaten New Britain in what's surely at bellweather result in the upcoming Class LL playoffs. There was also big nights in big spots for Watertown's Brady Gambee, Ludlowe's Ryan Tompkins, Manchester's Joe Mugovero, Sheehan's Joshn Durant, everyone on Windham and more, much more.

That’s what we did — onto a pyre — after a topsy-turvy Week 6, one that saw yet another unbeaten SWC team go down after getting shut out in the next game after shutting out their last opponent. Two weeks ago, it was Bunnell knocking off Masuk. This week, it was unbeaten Brookfield knocking off Bunnell by the same score, 21-0.  We also saw a number of other unbeaten teams go down, including, for the second time this year, the state’s No. 1-ranked team when Wilton rose up and knocked off top-ranked Greenwich on its home turf at Cardinal Stadium. It’s left us with more questions than answers as we sift through the carnage to try and figure out where all of these teams actually should be ranked heading into the season’s second half. Join us as Pete and SPB recap the carnage AND have a **spirited** debate about which teams deserve to be voted in the GameTimeCT Top 10 football poll.

We’ve reached the midpoint of the 2024 season and — WELP! — throw out the scouting reports!

That’s what we did — onto a pyre — after a topsy-turvy Week 6, one that saw yet another unbeaten SWC team go down after getting shut out in the next game after shutting out their last opponent. Two weeks ago, it was Bunnell knocking off Masuk. This week, it was unbeaten Brookfield knocking off Bunnell by the same score, 21-0. 


We also saw a number of other unbeaten teams go down, including, for the second time this year, the state’s No. 1-ranked team when Wilton rose up and knocked off top-ranked Greenwich on its home turf at Cardinal Stadium.

It’s left us with more questions than answers as we sift through the carnage to try and figure out where all of these teams actually should be ranked heading into the season’s second half.


Join us as Pete and SPB recap the carnage AND have a **spirited** debate about which teams deserve to be voted in the GameTimeCT Top 10 football poll. (Spoiler Alert: They both agree it should be newly-crowned No. 1 Windsor. After that? Well...)


Plus! Don’t miss SPB’s FIRST real look at the six playoff division races. And don’t forget our weekly SHOUTOUTS!

Stop us if you've heard this before: Showdown? Showcase. Yes, the "Game of the Week" turned into the "Catch of the Day" at the Surf Club in Madison as GameTimeCT No. 6-ranked Hand dominated No. 7-ranked Fairfield Prep, 34-3 in one of the most eye-popping results of Week 2. It was just one of many intriguing or downright crazy results to come out of Week 2, especially Thursday night as Maloney and Windsor both beat back tough challenges from Glastonbury and Simsbury, respectively. Jesus personally showed up twice to rescue both Meriden schools. Maloney's Jesus Martell took over in the second half to save the Spartans while Platt's Jesus Vasquez (aka Fifa) saved the Panthers from the jaws of defeat against Berlin. Windsor didn't have Jesus, but did get a needed defensive boost after losing quarterback AJ Robinson. Elsewhere, New Britain stayed unbeaten with a rout of East Hartford, Naugatuck outlasted Holy Cross in an NVL showdown, Cromwell/Portland rode Tyler Cipolla to a big win over North Branford in the Pequot, and Norwalk stunned Wilton in a Saturday afternoon FCIAC encounter.

Thanks to dominant efforts by New Canaan, Darien, Greenwich and Staples, not to mention a strong effort by St. Joseph, the FCIAC has claimed the first four spots and five overall in the latest GameTimeCT Top 10 poll. But there were plenty of other eye-opening Week 1 performances out there — Fairfield Prep, Killingly, Windsor, Bunnell, Berlin and Windham, just to name a few. We also saw the return of Steve Christy to the Masuk sidelines. We break it all down on another thrilling episode of The Meat Grinder CT high school football podcast with Sean Patrick Bowley and Pete Paguaga, brought to you by GameTimeCT.

After six great championship bouts ad CCSU and UConn’s Rentschler Field, we’ve crowned our 2023 champions and voted in the final GameTimeCT Top 10 poll and the STAPLES WRECKERS are No. 1 following their thrilling, 21-20 Class LL championship victory over West Haven. Join hosts Sean Patrick Bowley and Pete Paguaga as they run through everything that happened during championship weekend, including recaps of all six state championship games and how they voted in the final top 10 poll. This week’s special guest star, our first in over a month, is none other than newly crowned No. 1-ranked Staples coach ADAM BEHRENDS.  The Iowa native arrived in Westport from IMG Academy in Florida just four years ago and, after a near-disastrous 2-8 season in 2019, Behrends quickly molded Staples in to a contender. But after a 1-point loss to Fairfield Prep in the 2022 quarterfinals, the Wreckers developed a 2023 Mantra: Find the Point. And they did just that, avenging their playoff loss to Prep by a point and then avenging their Week 1 loss to West Haven by a single yard and one point: 21-20.

And what a Thanksgiving week it was as we completed the CIAC state playoff field. There were upsets galore in the final Class S standings; a stunning revival for Fairfield Prep, which toppled West Haven to become the first losing team to qualify; Jett Hall's legendary Valley performances as Naugatuck toppled Ansonia in a battle of unbeatens. But the best game of Thanksgiving belonged to the Apple Valley Classic, where — at long last — Notre Dame recruit Matt Jeffery, injured for the better part of the last seven weeks, made his triumphant return to the gridiron and led Cheshire past rival Southington in a ride-or-die scenario in a game it hadn't won since 2011.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Welcome back to another thrilling episode of The Meat Grinder, your weekly dose of High School Football in Connecticut and because we live in Connecticut, and we're fast approaching the last Thursday in November, everybody should know what that means.

Yes, turkeys, it's Thanksgiving Football Week in Connecticut, the final regular season game of the year. It's a time to come home home, get the fam or the gang together and head out to your favorite high school football game, whatever it might be called — The Route 83 Bowl, the Turkey Bowl, the Green Bowl, the Elm City Bowl, The Battle for the Bell or the Battle for the Sword... whatever. There's always something to whet your appetite Thanksgiving morning. 

And of course Thanksgiving week means copious amount of playoff math, which begets playoff scenarios. Many, many playoff scenarios.

Because time is precious and short, Thanksgiving Week also means our annual hybrid episode, combining the Meat Grinder with the weekly Pick'ems Podcast!

So if you're not one of the lucky contestants to be playing this week, pull up a chair, kick back and relax. We've got everything you need to know, and then some. 

We start off with the usual, a breakdown of the latest GameTimeCT 10 poll, followed by a complete run down of all the teams vying for playoff spots. There are only 16 of 48 spots remaining and we'll tell you who needs what to keep playing next week. 

We also recap some of last week's big games with playoff implications, including Hand-Sheehan and South Windsor-Enfield. SPB also recaps two of last week's WILD NEPSAC Bowl games — Cheshire Academy's late rally past Avon Old Farms and Hamden Hall's thrilling conclusion to its Bowl game vs. Dexter Southfield-Mass.

And, finally, treat yourself to a full hour of Thanksgiving high school football picks. We're picking 20 games, including some of the week's biggest. 

So, Happy Thanksgiving to all. We do hope you will join us.

]]> 4041 no Special Episode ! Boston Herald reporter Danny Ventura joins the show Welcome to back to another episode of the Meat Grinder, your weekly dose of high school football in Connecticut. Do not adjust your YouTube or Spotify. It is Friday and it is a very special episode of the Meat Grinder. Last week’s drop of the Alliance playoff proposal got our gears going, we discussed it amongst ourselves, and then had a lengthy discussion about it with Oxford’s Joe Stochmal, a member of the CIAC committee. We also thought about how similar the proposal is to one enacted by Massachusetts a few years ago in how the MIAA, the Massachusetts version of the CIAC, virtually eliminated the state’s longstanding Thanksgiving Day football tradition at the expense of expanding the playoffs and starting it in early November. To give us a window into how that went down, we reached out to Danny Ventura, the 30-year veteran high school sports reporter from the Boston Herald for his insights and opinions on how Massachusetts’ devaluation of Thanksgiving Day football has gone over. Granted, the CT Football Alliance’s proposal suggests moving rivalry games typically held on Thanksgiving to Columbus Day, whereas Massachusetts allows teams to play Thanksgiving Day games in between the MIAA semifinals and championship weekend. But it was still an enlightening conversation all the same. We just couldn’t fit it all into this week’s regular Meat Grinder without heavy edits. Since we appreciate Danny’s time and his insight, we present to you the full interview in a special episode. ENJOY! Learn more about your ad choices.

The Alliance brass has interrupted the season with their latest call to remove Thanksgiving Day as Connecticut's crown jewel of sporting events. The idea: Dump a century's worth tradition in favor of a balanaced schedule based on class, 50% more (whyyy??) playoff teams, the ending the season before the wrestling mats get rolled out. A win for 12 schools' winter programs and 24 middling football teams, perhaps. Naturally, our intrepid podcast hosts have their own opinions on this latest move to remove Thanksgiving Day football, and they lay out their pros and cons of this budding tradition of yearly CT high school football playoff ideas. This week's special guest star is none other than JOE STOCHMAL, the only coach Oxford's ever known. His program is 8-0 for the first time and on pace to reach the state playoffs for the first time, even as they head to Jarvis Stadium to face unbeaten NVL rival Ansonia on Thursday night.  Stox gives us the lowdown on his program and, as a member of the CIAC football committee, shows us the roadmap on how playoff proposals become CIAC law. He also gives us his personal opinion on the Alliance proposal.  In the meantime, check out highights from a handful of Week 9's biggest games, including: No. 3 Maloney rallying past Southington; North Haven, sans coach Tony Sagnella, knocking off Matt Jeffery-less No. 2 Cheshire; and, finally, Choate's 17-14 victory over Avon Old Farms in the most anticipated Prep school game of the year, since last year.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices We knew it was coming and here it is. The Alliance brass has interrupted the season with their latest call to remove Thanksgiving Day as Connecticut's crown jewel of sporting events.

The idea: Dump a century's worth tradition in favor of a balanaced schedule based on class, 50% more (whyyy??) playoff teams, the ending the season before the wrestling mats get rolled out. A win for 12 schools' winter programs and 24 middling football teams, perhaps.

Naturally, our intrepid podcast hosts have their own opinions on this latest move to remove Thanksgiving Day football, and they lay out their pros and cons of this budding tradition of yearly CT high school football playoff ideas.

This week's special guest star is none other than JOE STOCHMAL, the only coach Oxford's ever known. His program is 8-0 for the first time and on pace to reach the state playoffs for the first time, even as they head to Jarvis Stadium to face unbeaten NVL rival Ansonia on Thursday night. 

Stox gives us the lowdown on his program and, as a member of the CIAC football committee, shows us the roadmap on how playoff proposals become CIAC law. He also gives us his personal opinion on the Alliance proposal. 

In the meantime, check out highights from a handful of Week 9's biggest games, including: No. 3 Maloney rallying past Southington; North Haven, sans coach Tony Sagnella, knocking off Matt Jeffery-less No. 2 Cheshire; and, finally, Choate's 17-14 victory over Avon Old Farms in the most anticipated Prep school game of the year, since last year.

It's a jam-packed and long episode. But, with this last full week of non-Thanksgiving football, why not spread our wings a bit?

So join us, won't you?

]]> 1203 The Meat Grinder (S6 E7): Fitch's Mike Ellis and the Curse of the GTCT podcast; Plus: The Midseason Player Draft Welcome back to another edition of The Meat Grinder, Connecticut's award-winning high school podcast brought to you by GameTimeCT.  We've reached the midpoint of the 2023 season, and what better way to celebrate than diving into a very special Meat Grinder midseason double album. Yes, like the rock legends of old — The Beatles, Floyd, The Stones, Zep, The Who — we've got so much good stuff we're loathe to make any cuts, so we've decided to release it all in one drop. Join hosts Sean Patrick Bowley and Pete Paguaga as they look back on the Week 6 that was, including the two big Saturday FCIAC games, Rockville and Notre Dame-Fairfield's mission statement victories, Masuk freshman Aaaron Champagne popping the cork on Barlow. This week's special guest star is ninth-year Fitch coach MIKE ELLIS, whose team rallied to beat NFA on Saturday to set up a big ECC Division I showdown at perennial contender Killingly. Truth be told, Ellis hesitated before joining the podcast this week after realizing that all of this season's previous guests lost the same week they appeared on pod.

Welcome back to another edition of The Meat Grinder, Connecticut's award-winning high school podcast brought to you by GameTimeCT.  We've reached the midpoint of the 2023 season, and what better way to celebrate than diving into a very special Meat Grinder midseason double album. Yes, like the rock legends of old — The Beatles, Floyd, The Stones, Zep, The Who — we've got so much good stuff we're loathe to make any cuts, so we've decided to release it all in one drop. Join hosts Sean Patrick Bowley and Pete Paguaga as they look back on the Week 6 that was, including the two big Saturday FCIAC games, Rockville and Notre Dame-Fairfield's mission statement victories, Masuk freshman Aaaron Champagne popping the cork on Barlow. This week's special guest star is ninth-year Fitch coach MIKE ELLIS, whose team rallied to beat NFA on Saturday to set up a big ECC Division I showdown at perennial contender Killingly. Truth be told, Ellis hesitated before joining the podcast this week after realizing that all of this season's previous guests lost the same week they appeared on pod.

]]> 1818 The Meat Grinder (S6 E6): All's Fair in Love and Football | Plus! Darien's Andy Grant Welcome to another edition of The Meat Grinder, Connecticut's only award winning high school football podcast, brought to you by GameTimeCT and CT Insider. It was a bye week for half the state, yet somehow we have jam-packed show because plenty happened. With everybody focused on Camren Kemp's Hamden homecoming on his birthday, it was junior quarterback Nick Conlan, who connected the biggest haymakers of Friday night as No. 2 West Haven beat Hamden to stay unbeaten. Join hosts Pete Paguaga and Sean. Patrick Bowley as they break down that anticipated matchup, plus plenty of others, including big nights from Granby/Canton's Will Attianese and Rockville's Amir Knighton as they head for another collision course Thursday night.  The guys also check in on Oxford, which is having a dream season thanks to gutsy QB Matt McGuire, who — once again — rallied the Wolverines to a big victory. There was also Evan Anderson's emotional night for Southington, big first wins by Hillhouse and Kennedy, and Avon Old Farms' rally past Brunswick in the rain.  Our special guest star this week is first-year coach ANDY GRANT of Darien, whose 4-0 team heads to face No. 1 Greenwich in one of two big FCIAC games Saturday. And, finally, we open up the MAILBAG and answer some questions for the first time this year. Post your questions in the comments below for next week. Join us, won't you?

North Branford coach Anthony Salvati https://www.ctinsider.com/gametimect/football/article/meat-grinder-ct-hs-football-podcast-s6-e5-2023-18405482.php Thanks to another round of nasty weather — this time a wave of torrential rain that drenched much of Connecticut and made playing football a slippery endeavor — it was a chaotic Week 4 of high school football. For those who played Friday night, the rain disrupted just about every football team's delicate offensive choreography, which scripted some eye-popping results. The one constant, however, was No. 2 West Haven's 31-21 victory over rival and No, 6-ranked Shelton at Finn Stadium. Now, the Westies are making a serious run at the state's top ranking as they head to face rival Hamden in a homecoming for RB Camren Kemp, who transferred a week before the season. Join SPB and Pete Paguaga as they break down that matchup and everything else that happened over the four-day Week 4 weekend: St. Joseph's narrow FCIAC win over Stamford on Saturday, Cromwell/Portland's Pequot rout of the new MSW co-op on Sunday. This week's special guest is first-year North Branford coach ANTHONY SALVATI, a T-Bird alum whose team is 3-0 going into a showdown with unbeaten Granby/Canton. Salvati talks about his squad, why he returned to his alma mater after spending four years at Guilford, and why he hopes the T-Birds will never have to co-op, as so many other Pequot programs have.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Thanks to another round of nasty weather — this time a wave of torrential rain that drenched much of Connecticut and made playing football a slippery endeavor — it was a chaotic Week 4 of high school football.

For those who played Friday night, the rain disrupted just about every football team's delicate offensive choreography, which scripted some eye-popping results.

The one constant, however, was No. 2 West Haven's 31-21 victory over rival and No, 6-ranked Shelton at Finn Stadium. Now, the Westies are making a serious run at the state's top ranking as they head to face rival Hamden in a homecoming for RB Camren Kemp, who transferred a week before the season.

Join SPB and Pete Paguaga as they break down that matchup and everything else that happened over the four-day Week 4 weekend: St. Joseph's narrow FCIAC win over Stamford on Saturday, Cromwell/Portland's Pequot rout of the new MSW co-op on Sunday.

Sean and Pete take a look back at some of the madness, beginning with Valley Regional/Old Lyme practically begging for table scraps after getting put outside by Rocky Hill's late-announced forfeit win from Week 1 and ending with Cheshire coach Don Drust pacing across the Maclary Complex praying his team had enough to squeak in over Darien after a tough loss to Southington in the Apple Valley Classic.

The end of the regular season is upon us, so welcome to a very special episode of BOTH the Meat Grinder AND the Petey Pageviews Pick ‘em Podcast. That’s right, it’s the WEEK 12 CROSSOVER EPISODE. Like when Family Guy met the Simpsons, or when Phineas and Ferb met the Avengers or Family Matters met Full House (ugh). In the Meat Grinder portion of the podcast, we take a look at the playoff situation heading into the final week of the regular season. There are 38 of 48 spots already filled — which has diminished the importance of this week’s matchups, frankly. Regardless, SPB breaks down who needs what to qualify for one of the final 10 spots.. Also, Hartford Public’s 2-1 Friday — including 1-1 on forfeits — has indirectly turned Class SS topsy-turvy. On the Pick ‘ems Podcast episode, Pete and Sean pick the winners of TWENTY Thanksgiving week games. So we'll see if the contenders can separate from the pretenders. Here are last week's results: Barker, Bowley, Brechlin and Stewart went 10-0; Fornabaio, McNamee, Morelli and Paguaga went 9-1; Ericson went 7-3 and the 8-Ball went 5-5 again. And here are the overall standings, Bowley and Fornabaio are tied for first at 79-31; McNamee and Stewart are tied for third at 78-32; Morelli is along in fifth place at 75-35; Barker and Paguaga are tied for sixth at 74-36, Brechlin is eighth at 72-38 and Scott Ericson is ninth at 64-44.

Now that Maloney has snatched the No. 1 banner away from Southington with its thrilling, 31-28, double overtime victory won on the foot of Josh Scaramuzzo, we turn our attention to Week 10 and another showdown between unbeaten teams. This time, it'll be No. 4 West Haven (8-0) playing host to No. 7 Hamden (8-0). While it might not pack the punch of No. 1 v. 2, it's an old District League rivalry resumed this year for supremacy in SCC Tier II, not to mention for a possible home game in the upcoming Class LL playoffs. Joining us this week is, of course, Hamden coach and athletic director Tom Dyer, who has guided Hamden to this recent renaissance of two-consecutive playoff seasons. Dyer, who won a couple of state titles at Hillhouse, talks about his team and what's been behind its 8-0 start. Dyer, who is also a representative on the CIAC's football committee and the coaches association, also has a say in the makeup of how Connecticut conduct its football playoffs. Naturally, given SPB's distain for the recent six-division expansion, we hear from Tom about the philosophy of the decision. Plus, with 2 1/2 weeks of games left before the end of the regular season, we delve into the latest CIAC playoff situation. So join us, won't you? Learn more about your ad choices.

Dyer, who is also a representative on the CIAC's football committee and the coaches association, also has a say in the makeup of how Connecticut conduct its football playoffs. Naturally, given SPB's distain for the recent six-division expansion, we hear from Tom about the philosophy of the decision. Plus, with 2 1/2 weeks of games left before the end of the regular season, we delve into the latest CIAC playoff situation. So join us, won't you? Learn more about your ad choices.

And it was indeed a thriller on Halloween Weekend, especially up at Pierson Park in Cromwell where Cole Brisson and the Cromwell/Portland football team rallied and then hung on for dear life to win against Di'Angelo Jean-Pierre and Valley Regional/Old Lyme, 28-27. Johnny Beltre tipped away the 2-point pass to extend the defending state champions' 21-game win streak. Joining us this week is Cromwell/Portland coach Randell Bennett who talks about that game and how he went from an inaugural Cromwell player to a championship head coach in 20 years. We also take a look at the latest Top 10 poll where, for the third-consecutive season, voters have set up a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup when Southington faces Maloney in a CCC battle at Falcon Field in Meriden. We also break down St. Joseph's defensive win over New Canaan and the latest CIAC playoff point standings.

Coach Sags talk’s about this year’s resurgent team, which plays Cheshire this week as it fights for a Class MM playoff spot. The guys also talk to Sagnella about the genesis of North Haven’s famous single wing and his time spent as an NFL replacement player for the Washington Redskins during the strike year of 1987.  Naturally, it’s a longer-than-normal interview. But well worth it. As for last week, on the night where West Haven honored the 20th anniversary of their last state championship football team, the Westies of the present were busy earning their biggest victory to date: a 34-28 victory over then-No. 6 Shelton.  Sean talks about the game and interviews some of the key players from that great, 2002 Class LL title team, including Tom DeMorro and Phil Banks, who scored the winning TD, and coaches Bert Siclari and Ed McCarthy. The guys also break down the latest Top 10 poll, including No. 1 Southington’s narrow win over Windsor and No. 8 Ansonia’s nailbiting 31-28 victory over Holy Cross, and examine the six state playoff standings through seven weeks.

If Week 4 was the Alliance Love Fest, Week 5 was the return of the jilted lover, our forgotten friend, the league game.

In the NVL, Gilbert/Northwestern/Housy put a scare into Ansonia; Staples outlasted Trumbull in an FCIAC thriller; Berlin rallied to beat Bloomfield in the CCC and so much more. Though the SCC, FCIAC and SWC have bye weeks, league play continues this week. Chris Anderson, a two-time championship coach at Woodland and now the head coach at Naugatuck, joins us this week to discuss his league's big game against Tom Ligi and Holy Cross at Municipal Stadium on Thursday night.

Of course, we discuss the most pressing issue of the times: The state playoff picture. Sean's just about got the formula figured out, but with so many games still to be played this week the best we can do is to give an overview before Thanksgiving Week. And what better place to start than to recap the carnage wrought by Cam Edwards and Norwalk at Fujitani Field. Edward scored five-touchdowns in a virtuoso performance to knock off playoff hopeful Wilton, 41-21, and put him on the short list of state player of the year (if he wasn't already.) Not wasting any time, Jeff Jacobs takes first crack at picking his top players of the year in this week's Jake's Takes segment. Though we lost the guest, there's plenty to whet your football palate in this week's pod. Unfortunately, this was recorded before the CIAC approved of a six-division playoff format for next year. You can be sure we'll have plenty to say about it next week. So join us, won't you?

Only three full weeks remain before the end of the season and teams are jockeying for their final playoff positioning before our teams dive into the busy final 10 days before Thanksgiving. Sean and Pete do their best to break down all the latest scenarios across the four different classes. But -- frankly -- the CIAC's new playoff formula modification makes figuring out actual scenarios next-to-impossible. Joining us this week is Fairfield Prep coach Keith Hellstern, whose team grabbed everybody's attention with a thorough 54-0 victory over rival Shelton. It was Prep's biggest margin of victory in 18 years. What does this mean for the Jesuits, who haven't been to a state final since 2013 and haven't won a state title since 1988? Confidence is key.

Plus: Branford coach John Limone https://soundcloud.com/gametimect/the-meat-grinder-s4-e8-branford-john-limone Welcome back to another jam-packed episode of the Meat Grinder, your one-stop shop for all things Connecticut High School Football with hosts Pete Paguaga and Sean Patrick Bowley of GameTimeCT.com The moment we've been waiting for this season has arrived. It's No. 1 vs. No. 2 Saturday at Dalling Field on the campus of St. Joseph High School in Trumbull. There, No. 1 Darien, winners of three of the last five Class LL championships, takes on No. 2 St. Joseph, winners of three straight titles in three different classes. It's the sixth No. 1 vs. No. 2 rankings battle since 2005 and the third involving Darien and second involving St. Joseph. Columnist Jeff Jacobs, the only one of us to have seen both teams live this season (imagine that!) joins us to break down how he sees this game going. But, of course, after such a great week of football, that game is only a sliver of what we'll discuss this week. We also touch on yet another great result in the FCIAC, Wilton's 20-17 victory over then-No. 3 New Canaan and the Warriors suddenly huge game against arch-rival and No. 7-ranked Ridgefield. We hit on Greenwich's re-affirming victory over Trumbull and their game against New Canaan in a thrilling FCIAC Saturday. But it's not all FCIAC. We also discuss Darell McKnight's big night for Ansonia against Seymour and record-breaking performances by Bristol Central's Victor Rosa (eight TD runs!) and Morgan's Drew Nye (7 TD passes!), and so so much more. JOINING us this week is 9th-year Branford coach John Limone, who talks about his surprising 5-1 Hornets, how he went from QB to head coach in just 10 seasons and some of the help he's had along the way. But what Limone *won't* talk about are his team's prospects for reaching the school's first state playoff berth since winning it all in 2005, so don't even mention it (although we do our best to try!) THE RUNDOWN 00:00 -- Opening Montage: No. 1 vs. No. 2 through the years. 2:25 -- It's No. 1 vs. No. 2 again. Winner gets inside track at the final No. 1. 5:35 -- Looking back on No. 2 St. Joseph's 17-14 rally past No. 4 Ridgefield. 7:15 -- Wilton topples No. 3 New Canaan. Are the Warriors for real? Can they finally beat Ridgefield? 12:38 -- No. 4 Greenwich has come all the way back. But can the Cards keep it going against rival New Canaan? 16:48 -- Breaking down the latest GameTimeCT Top 10 Poll. 18:20 -- Jeff Jacobs breaks down No. 1 Darien at No. 2 St. Joseph 30:03 -- McKnight eases Ansonia past Seymour, to 101st victory vs. NVL opponents, Pete gets spooked by Michael Myers in his first trip to Jarvis. 36:17 -- Morgan's Drew Nye torches Coginchaug for 7TDs in Sean's first trip to the Peters Complex. 40:53 -- Other Notable Week 7 performances, including Bristol Central's Victor Rosa going off for eight rushing TDs; Arce, Maloney crush Xavier on the road; Hall and Rockville. 49:52 -- Interview with 5-1 Branford coach John Limone Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, with a majority of the GameTimeCT Top 10 taking the week off, it was time to check in on some of the state's biggest stars still playing. On Friday, Sean went to check out Newington's Austyn Howe, who had been tearing it up through four games, only to see Glastonbury ride Jack Petrone and Matt Daniels to their first win of the year while knocking the Nor'Easters off their unbeaten perch. Pete got up early Saturday to check in on Trumbull's dynamic Corbin Smith rip it up against Westhill, while Sean was witness to the showdown in Hartford between good friends Victor Rosa of Bristol Central and Christian Garcia of Hartford Public. The two traded haymakers in a wild, 52-48 BC victory which ended with defense. Before welcoming this week's special guest star -- Trumbull's MARCE PETROCCIO, who talks about Smith, his team's good 3-1 start, and what it takes to coach in 2021 -- Sean and Pete dig into the big problem developing in what is already an ultra-competitive Class L playoff race. Sure, almost everybody of consequence was on a bye, but don't miss this action packed edition of The Meat Grinder! So join us, won’t you?
