If Carmel makes the final it will be more because A is weak than anything else. Yes, they return most of their team, but the team was just decent last year. Nowadays, these kids don't magically become Paul Rabil just because they have aged a year. Their game experience and stick skills are very well versed at younger and younger ages. North Rockland will take a step back and Carmel may jump them. Other than maybe Arlington, there is nothing else at A, other than of course Mamo and Dale.

C might have the most good teams. Rye will be head and shoulders above every one else, but there are a lot of teams that can make semis.
