weekend open thread - Amherst Invite / GCC edition

a little bit late posting this one, but alas i am out of town and away from my computer (bumming one from a friend at the moment.)

this weekend is really something of a easterns preview - at the Amherst Invite (Division A) we've got pennsbury, amherst, columbia, paideia all in one place. (also essentially a rematch of the Paideia Cup)

The same goes for the women's side of things - Amherst, Amhert JV, Beacon, and Andover will all be at easterns this year.

Feel free to use this thread to post any updates you hear from the fields, speculation and the like.

for our friends in the midwest - Granite City Classic is shaping up in St. Cloud, Minn. featuring the #2 team from the Paideia cup - Hopkins HS as well as some other big names from the "star of the north" state in a preview of the Minnesota state championships.

love to hear results and updates from anyone whos got em there too.

ARHS boys' other scores:
over Longmeadow 15-0
over CHS 15-3
over Nipmuc 15-3

Paideia won all their games and will play Pennsbury in one semi. I don't know who we will be playing in the other one yet.

On the girls' side, Paideia and ARHS won all their games by a wide margin, I hear. Don't know who they will be playing in their semis.

Don't know anything about the B division.

Hopkins Lost in granite city in the finals to a tough and spirited SJR 1812 team. Although Hopkins lost they showed great signs of brilliance. Missing 4 of their top 8 players and only having 10 players the whole tourney they managed to do well but not as well as anyone expected them to do. Granite City was a real test to the Hopkins tema and now they are getting pumped and ready for their next up coming tourney WESTERNS!
