The Face Off kid is like a ninja out there. Defense is solid. Program has been down the last few seasons but I believe it's going the right direction.

Saturday should be a good test to see where WJ is really at.

St V is pretty bad. I won't put much stock in WJ rolling them.

St V is young and new coach, Walsh's FOGO should have a good day!

Wow,
Didn't expect it to be that bad. I think Hoban rolls on Wed!

It did not appear that SVSM’s defense was sliding. If they did it was really late. They have some players just maybe a little more time and they may pull it together. Wednesday will be a tough one for the Warriors. Just hope they have a better showing than Vs Hoover. They just were really off. Not sure if they would have beaten Hoover but I have seen them play a lot better. It happens I guess.

WJ and CVCA played pretty even in the pre season scrimmage. I think WJ won on the scoreboard 4-3. CVCA had two starters on offense out. Hoban beat CVCA 13-3. Hoban will roll WJ by at least 10.

Should be a good game, especially at FO! Revere is a senior laden team and has been steady.

Heard it was a rough game. No need for football mentality in lacrosse. Lacrosse used to be a contact sport with some skill now it is a skill sport with some contact!

Walsh got a tough draw for their round 1. Avon will bury Keystone then play Walsh. Avon is a tough match up. Very skilled and play fast, goalie is a big kid who is athletic and takes up space between the pipes really well. Avon is easily one of the most improved teams in the area. With a win over Avon a probable second round match up would cross the street to play in CVCA who has shown they can play with the areas top teams as well. Bad news for either is they are on the same side of the bracket at Toledo St Francis DeSales who is considerably better than both despite their record. They play a brutal schedule.

I thought it was really unusual for Ottawa Hills to be seeded where they were seeded. It really doesn't make sense. That match up leads to a round 2 game with Rocky River which in my mind are the 2nd and 3rd best teams playing really early. That does set up for a SFD vs OH final if the can get past RR who is struggling lately. It will be interesting to see how that plays out. SFD is the clear favorite from everything I've seen. I hope CVCA and Walsh get to play. There is a natural rivalry being basically across the street from one another.

CVCA at Walsh in Round 2 should be a good match up. Walsh has a decided advantage at the face off. I wouldn't be surprised if they win all of the face offs initially. If he wins it clean its a huge advantage for WJ. CVCA is really good at coming in from the outside and causing havoc if its not a clean scoop and go. Both teams scrimmaged early and Walsh won by 1, that scrimmage means very little now for both teams. It will come down to the defense for sure. CVCA has 2 very physical D-Poles in #26 and #24 who are very athletic kids with solid stick skills. The other D-Poles are solid as well and the goalie is solid. Whichever team makes the fewest mistakes should win. I fully expect a close game. CVCA's more difficult schedule as well as deep playoff runs the last few seasons could pay off. Both teams had a few common opponents and scores were pretty similar. Should be an entertaining game.
