I heard Cardinal Newman and Porter-Gaud were delayed by lightning. I assume the same for Hammond and Northwood.

Looks like Hammond and Pinewood will be favored to advance as Cardinal Newman has to travel to Pinewood. This should be Hammond's year.

If you said this "could" be Hammond's year or "might" be Hammond's year, I could or might agree with you. "Should" is awfully strong language given Hammond's last two playoff meetings with Pinewood:

May 9, 2007 Pinewood 7, Hammond 0
May 8, 2006 Pinewood 10, Hammond 0

Would anyone consider a 2-0 win over Ben Lippen IMPRESSIVE!!!! Let's face it Ben Lippen is weak.
Pinewood will have a hard time getting past Cardinal Newman on Wednesday. The only advantage they have is home field. Cardinal Newman may want it more. Hammond's offense is greatly improved and everyone is healthy, In the past 2 years Hammond suffered through numerous injuries and those scores have absolutely nothing to do with 2008. let's look for Cardinal Newman to win a close one, 3-2 at Pinewood. Hammond will beat St. Joes 3-1. If the championship comes down to Hammond and Cardinal Newman it should be a very good game, down to the wire.

I guess it's better to post a score with the amount of time the starters played to give an accurate indication of a game. I however, think that tends to rub it in the face of the opponent, but to each his/her own.

I'm sure those that matter with respect to either Hammond or Cardinal Newman, coaching staff that is, aren't going to put too much stock in the Ben Lippen scoreline. If that were to happen, home field wouldn't be the only advantage for Pinewood. (Which by the way, I disagree with anyway, but, that's why they play the games.)

I would consider it exactly as impressive as Hammond's 2-0 win over Ben Lippen last month. Or was Ben Lippen not as "weak" three weeks ago?

Comparing scores against common opponents is NOT the best way of predicting a match. Two teams may match up very differently against a common opponent than they would against each other. That said, I note that Hammond "only" beat Northwood 8-1 when Pinewood beat Northwood 12-0 earlier in the season.

I do think Hammond has a decent shot at de-throning Pinewood as 4-time SCISA champions. After all, a good chunk of Pinewood's team is 9th and 10th graders. I just think you need to go out and earn it rather than rather glibly proclaim that it "should" be your year.
