Boys' Lacrosse: Wednesday and Thursday's Top Games (5/25 and 5/26)

Wednesday 5/25

Conard @ Hall @ 2pm
The West Hartford rivalry should be good again this year as Conard is one of the better teams in the state this year and Hall may have lost to all the good teams they faced so far but they beat the rest of the CCC so should not be overlooked.

SWC and SCC Semifinals:

(2) #10 Joel Barlow vs (3) New Fairfield @ 5pm @ Weston HS
-New Fairfield should make this closer than their regular season match-up but I still Barlow coming out on top.

(1) Newtown vs (4) Weston @ 7pm @ Weston HS
-Weston could provide quite the test for Newtown but the Nighthawks seem destined to end up in the championship for another game against Barlow to possibly settle who is better.

(2) Cheshire vs (3) Guilford @ 4pm @ Branford HS
-This will be a very good game and I'm going to make it my GAME OF THE DAY because Guilford beat Cheshire 16-3 last Friday, the 20th, but Cheshire did beat them 6-2 way back on 4/8 and is the defending Class L Chmapions.  I'm going to go with Guilford in this one but not by 13 goals, I'll say 5 or less.

(1) #4 Fairfield Prep vs (4) Daniel Hand @ 6pm @ Branford HS
-Prep is Prep and many think they are untouchable, rightly so since they went undefeated in conference play.  However, Hand has a very good team and they did come closest to beating the Jesuits, losing twice but only by four goals each time, 6-10 on 4/8 (ironic, I know) and 10-14 on 5/16, so there is hope.

Thursday 5/26

CCC Championships:

West: (2) Simsbury @ (1) #9 Glastonbury @ 530pm
-Glastonbury may have just beat Simsbury 8-5 almost a week ago on Friday the 20th but Simsbury is a very good team and will be more than ready for this one.  Glastonbury knows how to get up for a big game and win though so I think they will still win this game, maybe in overtime.

East: (2) Windsor @ (1) South Windsor @ 515pm
-In the sub-par division of the CCC, SW went undefeated (6-0) and Windsor 5-1 but neither of these teams are in the top four of the conference as a whole (3-Coanrd 4-Southington) so all I'm going to say about this game is the Bobcats won 10-8 in the regular season and they should find similar success in the championship game.
