4-0 Bville they’ve hit the pipe twice & have been peppering the Scarsdale goalie who has a handful of saves already clear mismatch Scarsdale hasn’t mounted any attack thru 1qtr & 1:02 into the 2nd bville makes it 5-0. We’ll find out how good the broncos are thurs vs L/P & Sat vs Pac. This game won’t help in determining their place in Sect.1 6-0 1:47 into 2nd.
10-0 Bville at half almost all the goals came fr attackmen. Scarsdale had it’s 1st shot on net w/ 1:49 left in the half. They had an emo the last min of the half & got 1 shot off that went wide. This one’s over @ half. It’ll be interesting to see how Bville does on thurs & sat. They really haven’t been tested yet. Their attack is very good the two Gras Bros & #10 have been havin a field day today. We will find out this wk how good this team is
West Islip scores three unanswered goals to close the game and wins 14-11.

Northport 5, Sachem North 5 after 3
Sachem North picks up a huge win, 10-8
Smithtown West holds off Smithtown East 10-9. Brian Balkam had 13 saves for East, which trailed 4-1 after one quarter and 9-6 after three. Pannell and Schultz each 4-2 for West.
Kinda surprised people aren’t giving Sachem North much of a chance to contend in Suffolk A. They have a nice squad.
They lost to WI and WM by a combined 18 goals.
SE really picked it up in the 2nd half. Looked like West was in control before that. Good game.
back to Croton-Harmon……why would you think that they are off to a surprising start at 7 – 0? Anyone that knows this team doesn’t think it’s surprising. And they are playing 16 Section 1 games, not 10. And right now they are
8-0.
