The game of the week to watch this week will come on Tuesday as West Islip faces off against Sachem North and their high powered Gamblin-led offensive formation. This will be a preview of a potential late season playoff matchup in Suffolk County's Section XI tournament.
Two major match-ups on Tuesday - not only SN/WI, but also Ward Meville with Smithtown West. Some previews on these two big time games to be held tomorrow in Suffolk's top flight.
Ward Melville at Smithtown West - Could Ward Melville be on the edge of a county, Long Island and state run? National polls have them getting the respect they deserve, but Smithtown West has been an Achilles heal for them over the past few years. Expect that this will come down to a two goal affair at very most.
Sachem North at West Islip - Since they last played, the balance of power has shifted with the Sachem North imports leading the way. North will open the offensive flood gates here, the score be damned. Gamblin alone will account for six goals and the rest of the offense will be good for another dozen. West Islip will not generate offense as the transition game will be stifled by North in the middle. This will not be as close as many have predicted - final score, 18-7.
