Boys' Volleyball: Top Games for Mon 5/2 and Tues 5/3

Monday 5/2

Bloomfield @ South Windsor @ 5pm
-Bloomfield, form Class M, is a perfect 8-0 but hasn't faced a test like the 7-1 Bobcats from South Windsor, a Class L team.  Can Bloomfield stay undefeated or will South Windsor pick up a quality win and an all-important CCC win?

Cheshire @ Xavier @ 530
-On paper Cheshire is the better team this year, having only lost two all sets all season in their come-from-behind 3-2 win over Newington, but not only is this a SCC game but the two teams are rivals.  Cheshire came back form down 0-2 to beat Xavier in the 2009 SCC Championship game and the next year, Xavier beat Cheshire 3-2 to win their first SCC title ever.  Also, Cheshire was the only team to beat Xavier last year in the regular season so maybe Xavier can return the favor this year!

Darien @ Bridgeport Central @ 530
-Darien's (9-1) only loss on the season is to Staples but other than that they have not lost a set all season!  Bridgeport Central (8-1) somehow lost to Kolbe Cathedral but has won all their other games, including Danbury twice and Oxford.  I think Darien will win.

Ridgefield @ Masuk @ 530
-Yet another quality game, Ridgefield is 9-1 and tearing up Class L while Masuk is also 9-1 and tearing up Class M.  Masuk's one loss is Ridgefield 2-3 in their season opener but they beat Staples who beat Darien who beat Ridgefield so those four teams create a circle atop boys' volleyball in the state.  The second meeting between these two teams is a can't miss match!

Southington @ Newington @ 6
-A fifth and final big-time match up on the second day of May; Southington is coming off their 0-3 embarrassment at the hands of Staples while Newington is looking to rebound from their heart-breaking 2-3 loss to Cheshire last week!  Both teams need this win as if they didn't already know that.  Oh yeah, this will decide who is the top team in the CCC this year as Glastonbury is not really in contention and we haven't seen Wethersfield face either of these teams yet but a loss to South Windsor doesn't help their case (SW lost to G-bury)!

Tuesday 5/3

2 games, neither of which is worth noting.
