BLAXEIGHT GAMES OF THE WEEK

Garden City at Bridgewater-Raritan (NJ), Monday, April 14th, 7:00 pm
One of the top public school programs in New Jersey, the Panthers are currently 5-1. Garden City's Luke Cascadden usually gives the Trojans a major possession advantage by dominating the faceoff X. 

Wantagh at Massapequa, Tuesday, April 15th, 1:00 pm

Calhoun at Oceanside, Tuesday, April 15th, 5:00 pm
The Colts are 2-4 playing a tough schedule and the Sailors lost two in a row before winning a nailbiter against Plainedge on Friday. A great matchup will be Calhoun's Harley Finkelstein against Oceanside's Dylan Bender, both returning All-County players. 

Roslyn at Plainedge, Tuesday, April 15th, 9:30 am
Every game in League 1 will be a battle and this one is no different. Both teams have this game circled as a W on their schedules, so something has to give.
