Led by New Canaan and Greenwich, Fairfield County reigned over Week 1 | The Meat Grinder (S7 E2)

And we’re off! 

Week 1 is in the books, including a massive slate of enticing Alliance matchups between the major conferences. What happened? What did we learn? Well, if anything, we learned that the FCIAC, out of the starting gate, has taken a massive lead on everybody else — especially the SCC.

Thanks to dominant efforts by New Canaan, Darien, Greenwich and Staples, not to mention a strong effort by St. Joseph, the FCIAC has claimed the first four spots and five overall in the latest GameTimeCT Top 10 poll.

But there were plenty of other eye-opening Week 1 performances out there — Fairfield Prep, Killingly, Windsor, Bunnell, Berlin and Windham, just to name a few. We also saw the return of Steve Christy to the Masuk sidelines.

We break it all down on another thrilling episode of The Meat Grinder CT high school football podcast with Sean Patrick Bowley and Pete Paguaga, brought to you by GameTimeCT.

So join us, won’t you?
