Anderson finished with 139 yards on 16 carries, Cooper ran 16 times for just 47 yards. I think St. Joe's feared Cooper, geared up to stop him, and got burned by Anderson. I thought the winner of this game would be the favorite to win the M. Hillhouse will be tough to beat. They also played great defensively.
Yeah no doubt, Hillhouse's defense is as much a factor in this win as anderson was. Hillhouse has the luxury of having another great player in the backfield, and the dbs took care of the joes offense
Ok here we go with the remaining quarterfinal games: LL Greenwich @ Xavier I like Xavier in a high scoring physical game NFA @ Newtown NFA in another close one Glastonbury @ Southington Coach Cap wins this one over Ollie's kid L New Canaan @ Avon Down year for NC but should have enough to upset Avon Middletown @ Masuk I'm going with Middletown Platt @ Hand Not this year Platt Fitch @ Windsor Windsor to move on M Weston vs Elllington Tough to stop Weston Montville @ Wolcott Wolcott eeks one out S Prince Tech @ Ansonia Really!!!! Woodland @ Capital Prep Woodland needs the Qb to throw for another 6oo yds to win this one Trinity Catholic @ North Branford Nice season comes to an end for TC What do you guys think

Branford 49 Trinity Catholic 28
The only score from last night that surprised me was NFA putting up 63. Not surprised they won, just that they dropped 63 on a pretty good Newtown team. Should be a good game vs. Staples. I don't think Glastonbury has any shot at Xavier.

Boots I agree with almost all your picks. I do think Staples beats NFA, but wouldn't be surprised if NFA won. Don't sleep on Woodland, there QB in his last 2 games 1) broke the CT single game record for passing yards with over 600 yds in a win over Seymour and 2) broke the single season TD record last night. However, they already got crushed by Ansonia twice this year and would probably get blown out a third time if they make the finals.
Watching tape of FNF right now. They report NFA's RB Marcus Outlow has offers from both Alabama and Oregon. I had no idea...
Woodland will have a difficult time with North Branford. They should be able to play with them offensively, but their defense hasn't shown the ability to shut good offenses down. North Branford has one of the best QBs in the state no one talks about in Brandan Basil. The kid is legit. Good size, strong arm, very accurate. He does an outstanding job running the T-Birds offense. On the flip side, NBs defense can give up point and yardage. So, this game could turn into a shoot out. Staples from what I've heard, could be without RB Nick Kelly. He dislocated his shoulder in the WH game. We'll see if Masuk learned anything from the beating they took from Hand last year. Hyde will hang with Ansonia early, maybe a half. If Ansonia is clicking on offense, they blow Hyde out. They have great team speed and athletes, but lack size in the trenches. Newsome could have a huge afternoon. Windsor is out for revenge. Hillhouse should blow out Wolcott. Way too much speed. Xavier and Berlin win comfortably, I think.
Arkeel came into the playoffs with like 26 TDs... By the end of the playoffs He'll have at least 40 and Ansonia will be champion once Again... Staples is going to have a tough time, you just don't see backs with outlow's size and athleticism and add that with a solid overall cast and nfa easily has a chance to win the whole thing I wonder what all of the Tim Boyle naysayers are saying now, because he has been astonishing the last 3 games... There is now no doubt he is the best qb and possibly player in the state... Oh yeah and Xavier's offense is now absolutely unstoppable w. him and luster connecting, expect Berry to torch teams once he gets to the secondary Hand is probably going to win L, I just don't think anyone can beat them in the division
Not happening - needs to play more than a half... problem with blowing out the opponents. I agree though that Ansonia should win it.
