FCIAC Football Blog

Both Brookfield and No. 5 Masuk were undefeated, it was Masuk’s home game, and 91% of FCIAC Football Blog readers thought Masuk would come away with the win.

Boom goes the dynamite. Brookfield wins 31-24.

Sean Partick Bowley of Connecticut Post will be on FCIAC Football Blog Live Saturday at 9:10 a.m. to talk about it.

… it’s Bowley, Callahan and Nash.

Not the law firm, not the rock group. Sean Patrick Bowley of the Connecticut Post, Ridgefield football coach Kevin Callahan and John Nash of the Wilton Villager and Stamford Times.

Bowley is coming on to talk about the Brookfield-Masuk battle of the SWC undefeateds, won by Brookfield on the road.

Callahan has what may be the hottest team in the FCIAC: A week after manhandling Staples, Ridgefield pulls off an emotional upset against Greenwich.

And Nash will come on to talk about what could be the FCIAC’s most overlooked team, undefeated Wilton.

The fun all starts at 9 a.m. Saturday at http://blogtalkradio.com/fciacfootballblog. See you then, or come back for the replay.
