Perhaps the FCIAC's most intriguing football game of the week takes place at Tiger Hollow on Friday (7 p.m.), when Ridgefield hosts Norwalk in a battle of 4-1 teams trying to stay in the CIAC Class LL state playoff picture.

With 15 teams either undefeated or with only one loss in the division, a second defeat might eliminate the loser of Friday's clash.

Ridgefield has been on a roll since a 16-3 defeat at Greenwich and is certainly playing like a state playoff contender. Last week, the Tigers defeated Fairfield Warde 37-20 for their fourth straight victory.

Sam Gravitte scored three touchdowns for Ridgefield - one rushing, one receiving and one on an 85-yard kickoff return, which was a back-breaker
for the Mustangs, who had climbed within 24-20.

Junior quarterback Curtis Rowe has passed for nine TDs and 977 yards for the Tigers, who feature a balanced attack as three players have more than 200 yards on the ground -- John Turner (48 carries for 287 yards and three TDs), Gravitte (62-265, 3 TDs) and Rowe (43-203,  3 TDs).

Jack Heller is Ridgefield's top receiver with 25 receptions for 380 yards and five TDs.

Norwalk (4-1) is coming off a 28-14 setback to New Canaan, and it will be interesting to see how the Bears react to their first loss under rookie coach Sean Ireland.

Ridgefield is sixth in the Class LL rankings while Norwalk dropped six spots to No. 10 after the loss to New Canaan.
