Riding a four-game winning streak, the Weston football team has the unenviable task of facing UConn-bound Casey Cochran and Masuk's high-powered attack on Friday. Kickoff is 7 p.m. in Monroe.

The Trojans routed Notre Dame of Fairfield 42-6 last week to improve 6-2 and keep alive their state playoff hopes in Class S.

Weston currently holds the eighth and final playoff spot,but it will hard-pressed to contain Masuk's attack as the Panthers are averaging 55.6 points per game, the top mark in state.

Cochran, who rarely plays into the second half, has passed for more than 2,100 yards and 23 touchdowns for Masuk, which is ranked second in the state behind Cheshire and owns a 21-game winning streak.

Last week, Masuk drubbed Pomperaug 49-3. Cochran passes for 277 yards while Colin Markus rushed for 202 yards.

The Weston girls soccer team dropped a 2-1 decision Thursday to No. 5 seed Lewis Mills in the first round of the Class M state tournament. The Trojans concluded their season at 7-10.

Lewis Mills lost to Suffield 1-0 last year in the Class M finals. Weston did not qualify for the state tournament a year ago.

The fourth-seeded Barlow girls soccer team (13-3-2) has a bye into the second round of the Class L state tournament and will host the winner of the contest between No. 13 Torrington and No. 20 Woodstock Academy on Saturday at 2 p.m.

Last season, the Falcons earned a No. 3 seed after going 13-0-1 in the regular season and advanced to the semifinals, where they lost to eventual state champion Suffield.

In girls volleyball, No. 21 seed Weston advanced to the second round of the Class M tournament Thursday with a 3-2 (25-23, 19-25, 22-25, 25-23, 15-11) win over No. 12 seed Ledyard. In the second round on Saturday, the Trojans (10-8) play at No. 5 Rocky Hill, which had a bye in the first round.

Jessy Gersh registered 25 kills, 21 digs and 12 service points for Weston while Savannah Carpenter added 11 kills. Lili Clement chipped in with nine kills and 15 digs and Fran Holmes added six kills and 20 digs.

Second-seeed Barlow (16-2, regular season) also earned a bye into the second round of the Class M and will be at home on Saturday (1 p.m.) for the Granby Memorial-New Fairfield winner.

Barlow lost to RHAM 3-1 in last year's Class M state finals while Weston advanced to the semifinals, falling to RHAM, 3-1

The Weston boys soccer team (8-4-4) is seeded 19th in the Class M tournament and plays at No. 14 Bethel in the first round on Friday (2 p.m.).

Barlow (8-5-2) is 21st in Class M and plays at No. 12 Ellington on Saturday at 2 p.m. (postponed from Friday). Last season, the Falcons reached the quarterfinals as a No. 18 seed while Weston also advanced to the final eight as a No. 29 seed.

The Ellington-Barlow winner awaits either No. 5 Nonnewaug or No. 28 Foran inthe second round on Saturday while the Weston-Bethel survivor gets No. 3 Suffield in the second round.

Montville and Bethel were co-state champions last season after playing to a 1-1 tie in the final.

In field hockey, SWC semifinalist Barlow (14-2-2-0) is the No. 6 seed in Class M and hosts No. 11 Fermi in a first-round contest on Friday at 3 p.m.

If Barlow advances, it awaits the winner of No. 3 Avon and No. 14 Waterford in the quarterfinals on Monday. Last season, the Falcons fell to Branford in the first round.
