Bunnell quarterback Brian Carrafiello has an emotional story as he leads his team into the postseason. Christian Abraham – Hearst CT.
Football takes center stage in Connecticut tonight as 16 quarterfinal games take place across the state. And so a special football-only edition of Linked Up is here to get fans ready for what will take place this evening. As typically done, these links focus on features for the teams, players, and coaches involved in the games tonight, rather than just single-game previews — but there are plenty of those out there as well. The NFHS Network will carry some of the quarterfinals live tonight, and will also have multiple semifinal games along with all four championship contests. Read up, and get ready for a big night of high school football.
