--
Should be a solid matchup in the final, a rematch between Colonie and Guilderland. If the Raiders can play like they did on Thursday against Mohonasen, it should be a heck of a game down there at the Armory. But, if the Raiders come out flat, as they did against Shen on Tuesday, it will be a long game for Colonie.
Guilderland has four big-time weapons - Brett Marfurt, Drew Smith, Jon Terry and Kevin Kost. Without a doubt, whichever team wins the game will get a big boost going into sectionals against the major league teams from the Big 10.

Shaker is also on a roll - look out for the Bison. On Saturday, the Mohon-Shen game should be fun to watch too, each of those teams bring a exciting, balanced attack.

Full sectional brackets come out Wednesday and we will have them here first.
