Here are my first and second round predictions:

Mcdonogh by 3 over BL
SP by one over Loyola

I like MCD over SM in the semis and CHC over SP by 8.

I really like MCD in this game. Coach Hilgartner and his staff will show their coaching mettle this afternoon. I'm looking for a five goal margin of victory.

Haverford's Nostrant to take over at Gilman according to IL. The program should be in good hands under his leadership. Coach Nostrant can't arrive soon enough. Has anyone else noticed recent encore performances (see Crawford's, Brocatto's and Matthew's) are all complete duds? I love when the papers...

CHC blows Gilman out by 5-6. SM vs MCD: I'm not sure. SM killed the Eagles last year but both teams are quite different. If MCD can dominate the FO X, look for them to compete, if SM goes 50% or better at the X, look for them to win by 4-5.

Assuming SMs beat the Eagles on Friday, I can't remember the last time MCD wasn't in the 6 team playoffs. Has to be at least 10 years. I know they've been in the semis for the past 6 years which is pretty amazing.
