Wednesday 1/20

We got some Wednesday night D1 match ups.

Salem v. Trinity
Trinity is a scary team if they could figure it out.  Walsh can flat out score, Trickett does all the little things and their Frosh, Santos I think, is going to be something special.  Salem has probably one of the best big men in the state and I think he will take over tonight.  Trinity needs to find a way to force Salem to score outside of the paint tonight, and I don't think they will be able to.  Salem Wins.

Concord v. Timby
This is a tough one to call as I have not seen Timby play.  These two used to be fierce rivals battling at the bottom of the D1 standings, but now Timby is playing D2 and playing well.  I think Timberlane gets hot and home.  Timberlane wins.

After last night I am struggling and in need of a couple of wins. . . 21-9  

Unfortunately NH12345, I am going against your picks on both games tonight.

Salem v Trinity - Salem tends to get consistently over rated. Bigs for Salem wither against teams with strong bigs...see Pinkerton and Bedford games. Walsh / Trickett fall into this category. Couple that with the loss of Gott, and that Trinity has seen most of the top 8 in D1 already, I'm taking Trinity.
( Have to say that I do like Dodier from Salem. He's got heart. Sometimes a little excitable. But he plays hard every second.)

Concord v Timberlane - I have not seen either team yet. Neither look great on paper. When in doubt, go with the higher Division team. Concord pulls it out.
