Welcome back to another exciting episode of The Meat Grinder, your weekly dose of high school football in Connecticut hosted by GameTimeCT editors Sean Patrick Bowley and Pete Paguaga.

This week we skip a special guest star to check the gauges, kick the tires and replace our vitals for the second half of the 2022 CT high school football season.

Welcome to the annual Midseason report, in which Pete and Sean break down their three surprising teams and three disappointing teams to date. Next, they offer up three teams and three players to watch in the season's second half.

There's also the unveiling of the midseason Top 10 poll, which saw a minor shakeup with Greenwich's redemption victory over No. 6 St. Joseph and Windham's mission statement victory over No. 4 Killingly.

And, finally, we take a peek at the impending disaster area that is the new six division playoff getup.

So join us, won't you?
