We are set to start what promises to be an eventful week.
When it ends, we will be at the halfway point of the regular season.
The day is highlighted by a big Rockland County showdown between two of the top teams in the county.
North Rockland is 5-2, with both of its losses by one goal (to Byram Hills and Weston in overtime).
Suffern is 2-2, with losses to John Jay and Fox Lane.
The teams meet at 4:15 p.m. at Suffern Middle School.
In a Section 1 vs. Section 9 matchup, Tappan Zee (6-1), which suffered its first loss in its last game (against Brewster), hosts Warwick.
On Long Island, Comsewogue, one of the region’s biggest surprises at 7-0, plays at Kings Park.
Rocky Point, off to a 5-2 start after a sub-par three-win season last year, hosts Huntington.
In Connecticut, St. Joseph-Trumbull plays at Fairfield-Warde.

Prediction: North Rockland 8, Suffern 7 … OT …
Bville 4 M-neck 0 after 1st Very Sloppy
Suffern up 4-3 at half
Final … 11-8 Suffern wins
9-1 Bville at half. M-neck’s goalie put the ball in his own net for the last goal of the half. M-neck’s D is no match for Bville O. Especially the close D. They would be much better off playing a zone. Or at least sucking in their D. H. Gras is having his way w/ the close D. M-neck graduated all the good D-men that made this a match last yr. Bville’s O especially attack/Gras bros are dominant as I right this the younger one makes it 10-1
Jack Gras scores to make it 13-4 w/ 10mins left. He’s had 2 unreal rips to high corners has 4 goals or more. Bville uses him well always has the ball. He scores again to make it 14-5. Any team that plays Bville going to have to blanket the Hopkins Bound BlueChipper. Meant to say J. GRAS in the last post as the one having his way w/ the Tiger D. Think he has 5 goals at least
15-7 Final M-neck played Bville to a tie in the 2nd half. Something to build on. They definitely need to work on their close D. Bville’s an attack driven team w/ speed at midfield. Good O, but D needs work. Especially when they go up against better teams. Have to stop J. GRAS or at least try to contain him
Something to build on? It’s call taking your foot off the gas, after leading by 8 at the half.
It’s called domination, followed by good sportsmanship.
Tom Cirillo had nine goals in Eastchester’s 12-10 loss to Pelham, giving him a school-record 143 for his career.
Rocky Point wins 9-3 over Huntington..
