Best Haven? North Haven; Plus: Newtown's Dan Farina (S6 E8)

The Meat Grinder

Triumph and sadness ruled yet another rainy week of football. First, at the opening of the new Ken Strong Stadium turf, North Haven — ranked in the preseason, but dropped following its forfeit to Darien Week 1 — completed its march back to the top 10 with a near-perfect 21-13 upset victory over No. 2 West Haven.

The following night, Windsor, in its first game since the death of teammate Elijah-Jay Rivera, honored his memory with a moving ceremony with his family in the pouring rain at Jack O'Brien Stadium.

Pete and Sean discuss these headlining events of Week 7, and delve into some of the other key games, including Ansonia's Sunday wipeout of Holy Cross, New Canaan's overtime victory over Wilton, and Greenwich's statement 42-0 victory over Trumbull and much more.

This week's special guest star is Newtown's first-year coach DAN FARINA. whose No. 5-ranked Nighthawks put their unbeaten record to the test against a West Haven squad anxious to atone for their first loss of the year.

Plus, we run down some of the other big games of the week in the weekly Shoutout section.

So join us, won't you?
