Game Day: Week 2

It seems like it's been a really long week. Anyway, we're finally at Friday, and all seven NVL matchups are tonight at 7 p.m. We've got three Brass Division games, three Copper Division tilts, and the Sacred Heart-Derby inter-division clash. Not to say we're going to get much in the way of separation in the divisions, but there definitely are a few games that will have an impact.

Obviously, the number-one game of the week is up in Torrington when Naugatuck heads up north. This one will show us the team to beat in the Copper. There's been plenty of talk all week about the explosive Naugatuck athletes meeting the physical Torrington players. We'll have to see whether finesse or force wins this one.

The other big ones include St. Paul-Holy Cross and Ansonia-Crosby. Wolcott, Watertown, and Woodland shouldn't have too much trouble, but who knows? Sacred Heart also has a chance to start a rare 2-0 when the Hearts face the Jacob Tomczak-less Derby squad.

So, which games will everyone be at? I'll be at Naugatuck-Torrington tweeting some updates to @NVLFOOTBALL. WATR will be broadcasting the St. Paul-Holy Cross game while my boys at WRHS Media will be showing the Woodland-Kennedy contest.

Final thoughts? If you're at a game, feel free to tweet your updates (if possible) and give us your reports here after the game.
