Undefeated Rocky Hill Gets Votes in Weekly Football Poll
The Terriers have prevailed in their first seven outings, to the tune of a 268-34 scoring differential.
Darien football continues to roll, both on the field and on the ballots of the two dozen sports journalists who again unanimously selected the Blue Wave as top high school team in Connecticut in the latest weekly poll compiled by GameTimeCT.com.
Darien shut out Trumbull 48-0 last weekend to up its record to 7-0, and in the process increased its scoring differential to a jaw-dropping 277-35.
Rocky Hill (7-0), which has outscored opponents by a 268-34 margin thus far, did not crack the top 10 but received significant support in the most recent balloting.
