Bobcats Roundup: Girls Soccer Blanks Immaculate 7-0; Football Hosts Bunnell Friday Night

The Brookfield High School girls soccer team keeps rolling. A 7-0 shutout of Immaculate High School of Danbury on Tuesday night at home — a league match — lifted the Bobcats to 8-2-3 on the season. It was Brookfield's second straight shutout, following last Thursday's 1-0 win at Pomperaug, and the win moved the Bobcats to 3-2-2 in league play. Brookfield has outscored opponents 37-8 and carries a two-game winning streak into Thursday's 5:00 p.m. match at Harding High School of Bridgeport.

Thursday is a three-sport evening. While the girls are in Bridgeport, the Brookfield High School boys soccer team hosts Harding High School of Bridgeport at 5:00 p.m. The boys (4-7-3) are coming off Tuesday's 3-1 win over Immaculate High School of Danbury, and Harding's boys arrive at 4-10-1.

Then volleyball heads north. The Bobcats (4-4) travel to Monroe for a 7:00 p.m. league match at Masuk High School of Monroe, which sits at 14-3-2 and is ranked No. 22 in the state on MaxPreps.

Friday belongs to football. The Bobcats (1-4) host Bunnell High School of Stratford at 7:00 p.m. in a league matchup at Brookfield High School, chasing a second straight win and the first home victory of the season. Brookfield broke through last Friday with a 38-6 win at Weston, its first victory of the year.

Bunnell counters with one of the area's sharper passing attacks. Senior quarterback Jake Garrigan has thrown 11 touchdown passes this season, and his top target, senior Rody Ricketts, has six total touchdowns and averages 87.8 receiving yards per game, per MaxPreps stats. Tickets are available through GoFan, linked from the MaxPreps game page.
