Week 6 Review

After losing a close battle last week in Northeast Kingdom with undefeated St. Johnsbury Academy, BFA-St. Albans was on the road again to face the defending champion Hartford Hurricanes. Much like last week's tilt, this marquee matchup did not disappoint. While BFA marched out to an early lead against St. Johnsbury, it found itself down 24-10 at halftime this week. However, much like the Hilltoppers did a week before, BFA rallied and cut the score to 24-23 with about 10 minutes left to play. A missed extra point prevented BFA from tying the game and Hartford was able to hold off the Bobwhites the rest of the way.

In other highlights, Milton overcame a 35-22 second half deficit to defeat Lyndon 46-42 to move to 6-0, and Burr & Burton made a big statement by blasting Middlebury 36-7. Essex amd North Country both pitched shutouts for their first wins of the season as the Hornets blanked Colchester 20-0, and the Falcons topped Spaulding, 38-0.

Next week's Vermont Football Insider's games of the week have us watching the top teams in Division 2 as Milton puts its undefeated record on the line against Burr & Burton, and Bellows Falls squares off against Fair Haven in a matchup of one loss teams.
