Who You Picking? Brookfield or Bunnell?

Talk about big games no one was talking about at the beginning of the season?
This week was supposed to be all about Staples vs. Norwalk in the FCIAC, with the winner heading to the championship game. No one mentioned Brookfield vs. Bunnell with SWC playoff berths on the line.
But that’s where we now stand. Brookfield is 6-0, Bunnell is 6-1. Here’s Sean Patrick Bowley’s preview of tomorrow’s game for The Post (scroll down, or enjoy the other previews, your choice, they all involve Fairfield County teams).
Brookfield is on the rise, after two off seasons that followed the Scott Lutrus era. With the Treibt twins – Trevor and Travis – and Jordan Burandt sparking the Bobcats, they pulled off what was then considered an upset over Masuk in Week 5.
There was a lot of talk early on this season that Bunnell was not as great of an overall team as it was the past two seasons of its SWC and CIAC Class L championship run. And with FB-LB Oliver Aurelia and WR Mark Harrison out with injuries (Aurelia has a lingering hamstring injury, Harrison has a bad shoulder), its lack of depth has been exposed.
So let’s ask you – who is going to win this Week 8 battle in the SWC? The winner is not necessarily in line for an SWC championship game berth. If Bunnell wins, the road gets a little muddier. If Brookfield wins, it should give them a clearer path to the title game.

I’m going with the Bobcats at home. New turf field (even though it didn’t help Bunnell last week !!) should get the fans crazed. I think tehy have been playing at some older field until Sat. Bunnell has had prpblems stopping the pass, and I think Brookfield continues that trend. 31-26. The lost leaves Bunnell having by a thread in Class L and all but dethrones them as SWC champs.
