HOUSATONIC/WAMOGO VS. AVON

WHEN: Saturday, 2 p.m.

LOCATION: Housatonic Valley Regional High School, Falls Village

RECORDS: Housatonic/Wamogo 4-1; Avon 4-2

LAST WEEK: Enfield 27, Housatonic/Wamogo 20; Avon 39, Granby 0

LAST SEASON: Avon 48, Housatonic/Wamogo 12

TISCIA'S PICK: Housatonic/Wamogo 16, Avon 15

This is a very important game for the Mountaineers, who suffered their first loss of the year last week against Enfield. Their running game, led by Jake Sutterlin, will need to keep the chains moving and eat up the clock, a strategy that worked for Gilbert/Northwestern against Avon two weeks ago.
