Teams of the week
- Division I: An early 7-0 deficit didn't slow down Hartford at Colchester on Friday night. The Hurricanes dominated the rest of the way, rolling to a 32-7 victory that pushed their record to 2-0. Powerful Catholic Memorial makes the trip from Massachusetts to Hartford next weekend, but regardless of that result, the 'Canes have established themselves as one of the teams to beat.
- Division II: Burlington scored its second straight win over Division I rival Rice on Friday and Kevin Garrison was the big reason behind the Seahorses' 30-20 victory. Garrison's numbers -- 324 yards and four touchdowns -- hearkened back to Nate Long's days at BHS, and the junior running back might be the state's most dynamic player this side of Griffin Stalcup.
- Division III: The average margin of victory in the five DIII games in Week 2? 44.2 points. That makes this choice a hard one, but I'll go with Windsor after it posted a shutout in a 44-0 win over Oxbow. The Yellow Jackets are just one of four teams that have started the season 2-0, but they've outscored their opponents 99-7 and it's hard to find fault in that.
- Mt. Mansfield 28, Milton 22: What a turnaround from Week 1 for the Cougars. Seven days after falling behind 56-0 in the first half at Burr and Burton, MMU rode Asa Carlson's arm and a clutch defensive performance to a hard-fought win. Carlson hit Kyle Leggett for the tie-breaking touchdown with 8:45 to go, and MMU forced two late turnovers to seal a victory that puts the Cougars in the thick of the race for a playoff berth.
- Woodstock at Otter Valley (1 pm Saturday): Are the defending champion Otters still the team to beat in Division III? This one will go a long way toward answering that question after OVU went largely untested in its first two games. Woodstock is also 2-0 and leads the QPR standings after knocking off 2015 runner-up U-32 on opening night.
