Bobcats Soccer Heads Toward the Postseason

The fall soccer season is coming down to its final days. Monday, November 2, is the last date for games to count toward the Connecticut state tournament, according to the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference tournament packet. First-round games follow on Friday, November 6, or Saturday, November 7, with finals set for November 21 or 22.

The Brookfield High School boys, the Bobcats, stand at 4-4-1 in posted results. They opened with wins over Kolbe-Cathedral High School and Bunnell High School of Stratford, dropped games to Weston High School, New Milford High School, and Masuk High School of Monroe, tied Pomperaug High School of Southbury, then beat Immaculate High School of Danbury and Harding High School of Bridgeport before falling to Holy Cross High School of Waterbury. Boys teams qualify for the tournament with a winning percentage of .400 or better, a mark the Bobcats clear.

The Brookfield High School girls are unbeaten in posted results at 6-0-1. Their wins include Kolbe-Cathedral High School, Bunnell High School of Stratford, Weston High School, New Milford High School, Pomperaug High School of Southbury, and Immaculate High School of Danbury, along with a draw against Masuk High School of Monroe. Girls teams qualify at .350 or better.

Tournament pairings and seeds are set once the regular season closes, so the Bobcats' opponents, dates, and sites for the first round are not yet assigned. Both teams' final regular-season games count through Monday, so the weekend's results still matter for seeding. The Current will carry the pairings when they are released.
