Soccer Sweeps, Then Football's Friday Night

It was a good few days for the Bobcats — with one big night still ahead.

Both soccer teams swept their matchups. The girls beat Immaculate High School of Danbury 7-0 on Oct. 20, moving to 8-2-3 overall with back-to-back shutouts and a 37-8 goal differential. The boys blanked Harding High School of Bridgeport 3-0 on Oct. 22 — their second straight win — and sit at 5-7-3 overall. The boys' win came on the heels of a 3-1 road win at Immaculate two days earlier.

Volleyball split its two reported matches. Brookfield took down the New Milford Green Wave 3-2 at home on Oct. 20, then fell 3-0 at Masuk High School of Monroe on Oct. 22. The Bobcats are 5-7 overall, 4-4 in league play. They return home this afternoon at 3:30 against Pomperaug High School of Southbury.

Then comes the headliner: Friday night football. Brookfield (1-4, on a one-game win streak) hosts Bunnell High School of Stratford tonight at 7:00 p.m. — a league matchup and the biggest home crowd of the young season. Kickoff is 7 p.m. at Brookfield High School, 45 Long Meadow Hill Rd; tickets through GoFan, streaming on the NFHS Network.

Saturday doubles up on soccer: the boys travel to Holy Cross High School of Waterbury for an 11 a.m. kickoff, and the girls host Holy Cross at home at noon.
