There are several key games this week, including unbeaten Haddam-Killingworth against Hyde on Saturday (1 p.m. at New Haven's Bowen Field) and the annual prep school battle between Hopkins and Hamden Hall (2 p.m. in Hamden), but none is bigger than Hand-Madison's trip to Shelton on Friday night.

Both teams are unbeaten and ranked in the Register Top 10 Poll. Shelton is third, Hand ninth.

I will preview the game in Friday's Register.

Let me know who you think will win that game. I am going with Shelton, who has a plethora of skill players, even without the services of Andre Henderson, who is injured and out at least two weeks, and a veteran offensive line and defense. It should be close though and played under an electric atmosphere at Shelton's Finn Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
