GametimeCT Top 10 Football Poll, Week 8 (Oct. 26): No teams drop out for the first time this season

Albert Morgenthaler, left, and Jace McGee of Masuk celebrate their 28-14 win over North Haven in Monroe on September 17, 2026. For the first time of the 2026 high school football season, all of the Top 10 teams from the previous week remain in the Top 10. Now for the first time this year, we have some semblance of stability, though there were multiple shifts within the Top 10. This week St. Joseph has taken command of the No. 2 spot after a tie with Greenwich last week, following the Cardinals' 23-19 loss to No. 1 New Canaan on Friday. St. Joseph received 560 points in the vote, while Greenwich finished with 532 and sits at No. 3.

'Rumble strips' aim to slow e-bike riders on Somerville path

SOMERVILLE — Bump, bump, bump, bump, bump. Bikers, e-bikers, bucket bikers, scooter and e-moto riders, and anyone else zipping down this city’s shared-use path will find some new infrastructure rattling their chassis, wrists, and ankles this fall. Somerville over the past few weeks has been adding “rumble strips” to the otherwise smooth pavement lining the Somerville Community Path, a passageway popular with commuters, pedestrians, dog-walkers, and kids. It’s an effort city leaders hope can blunt the impact of one- and two-wheeled electric vehicles, whose riders sometimes treat paths like highways, frightening the slower walkers, bikers, and runners they whizz past. “If you’re strolling or jogging, or you’ve got kids, it can be really scary,” said Ben Wheeler, a city councilor who serves on the city’s traffic and parking committee. “If somebody doesn’t realize someone’s coming up fast…

Rams coach Sean McVay reveals missing piece that showed out in decimation of Raiders

When in doubt, line it up. Challenge your guys to be the more physical team. Then impose your will on the other guy. Somewhere along the way this season, Sean McVay and Rams had wandered from that identity. Too many possessions, too many stretches, too many games unfolded on someone else’s terms while losing four of their first six games. On Sunday, he and his team finally remembered who they were. And then they made the Raiders pay a dear price for it, running the football down their throat. The Rams’ 35-21 victory wasn’t nearly as competitive as the final score suggested. They were tougher, more disciplined and better coached. They established the terms of engagement, then spent the afternoon making sure the Raiders abided by them. Thirty-nine carries for 198 yards will do that. So will two running backs, Kyren Williams and Blake Corum, who each exceeded 90 yards rushing. They…
