That brought me to lumpys poll. It has severna park as W
22? Kent island as 36 and queenstown right behind them??

Looks like a poll from someone that just watches MIAA

Varsity Sports Network is a poll. I don't know who contributes, but VSN seems fairly accurate.

South River lost to Huntington 8-9
Marriotts Ridge lost to Catonsville 4-11
Patterson Mill lost to CM Wright 6-7

Today's Highlights:
Kent Island vs Urbana

Hereford vs Towson

[Jumbo]

I check out lax number poll. But it isn’t realistic in some cases. Seems they randomly add and subtract points in the SD column. But the overall rankings seem ok.

For tonight’s games. My predictions
No game will be close. All at least 5 goal wins
KI over Urbana
Churchill over Blake
CAtonsville over dulaney
Hereford over Towson

Severna Park at #22... Yes.
Kent Island at #31.
Queenstown?

I think the Broadneck vs SP game might be better than Navy vs Bucknell. I just may hit that one inside.

By all accounts, SP is the clear winner tonight, especially when comparing common opponent goals against. But these in county rival games do become a game within a game.

I'll go SP 14-9, with SP separating the game in the 3rd quarter.

Two very similar teams. Based on their losses, they're very similar. Based on their wins, Broadneck has proven more. But this is only the case because Broadneck has a better SOS (strength of schedule). I'm predicting a good, close game with Broadneck coming out on top. Though, based on their (thus far this season) weaker SOS, there's no reason why Severna Park shouldn't win this one.

Hereford 7 Towson 6

Jumbo, you owe Towson and Urbana apologies...

Yes. Surprised me. Seems like some teams are having really good games. And some really bad games.

Towson got blown out by Catonsville and Hereford played Catonsville close. Towson had a close game with dulany and Hereford blew out dulaney. Just seemed like Hereford was a much better team

I thought KI would blow out Urbana. The only comparable I found was KI and Broadneck 1 goal. And Broadneck crushed Urbana is a scrimmage 10-0. but Urbana played South River close and KI and South River scrimmaged and that was close.

Yes. Both games were closer than I expected. I was wrong. Sorry Towson and Urbana

[Jumbo]

Tough call tonight. So evenly matched.

Each team has a strong attack and a stud defender. I think both teams put that defender on the strong attack

SP has a better transition game
Broadneck has a better FOGO

Based on past performances, the only outcome that would shock me would be broadneck blowing out SP

SR's defense is their strength, IMO. They have some talented players on offense, but feel like their d and goalie keep them in the game.
