16 Manchester @ 1 Bristol Eastern
9 Southington @ 8 New Britain
13 Middletown @ 4 Northwest Catholic
12 Bulkeley @ 5 East Hartford
15 Hartford Public @ 2 EO Smith
10 Weaver @ 7 Windsor

predictions: it's hard to go against any of the home teams here, but the once case where an upset may occur is Bulkeley. That team has DeShawn Hamlet back after he missed more than half the season due to disciplinary reasons. Other than that, the home teams will rule in the state's best conference.
