GAMES TO WATCH

FRIDAY

Newtown at Fairfield Prep, 6 p.m.: Thanks to Windsor’s Week 1 loss to Newington and the voters’ elevating the Jesuits to take their spot, this becomes the first (by 30 minutes) Top 10 matchup of the season, No. 10 hosting No. 7 in the GameTimeCT poll. It’ll be the first meeting between two typically solid programs. New Fairfield at Sheehan, 6:30 p.m.: There are a few interesting mid-tier, which-way-are-they-going games on the schedule this week (thanks, Scheduling Alliance), including this one. The visiting Rebels came into the year hoping to build on last year’s strong finish but lost handily to Masuk. The Titans rolled over Wilbur Cross but get a bigger test in this one. Masuk at Windsor, 7 p.m.: Here’s another. The Warriors were well-regarded coming into the season, went to Newington and dropped a 30-22 decision. They’ll welcome Masuk, coming off that 43-12 win.

Brookfield at East Haven, 7 p.m.: And another. East Haven put together a solid win at Foran to open the season Friday night, coming back off last year’s 7-3 season, just 60 points shy of a Class M playoff spot. Here come the Bobcats, a Class M playoff team last season who got it handed to them by Weston in Week 1.

Middletown at Hand, 7 p.m.: And another. Who is Hand, exactly? Are they... OK, never mind. The No. 1 Tigers handled Notre Dame-West Haven for openers and move on to Middletown, a team that has drawn some mild support in the No. 14-15 range in the first couple of weeks of the GameTimeCT poll.

SATURDAY

Notre Dame-West Haven at St. Joseph, 1:30 p.m.: The schedule says Notre Dame visits Platt next week, but this has to be a mistake. The Green Knights played No. 1 Hand on Friday night and visit No. 2 St. Joseph this coming Saturday. No. 3 New Canaan has to be next, no? (No.)
