The outcome for the first round games should be intuitive. But what is great about this game, "on any given day". Just look at some of the first round matches from last year.

Predictions U-17 Boys

1. CESA 93 Premier vs SC United 93 Elite
I understand that SC United had to forfeit a match for their coach getting a red card and not having a backup coach on the bench. Dropped them to last seed. Great young men on both teams. CESA should win. Could be interesting. Two former players from SC United now play for CESA.
2. Palmetto United vs Coast FA
Palmetto United has had a tough first year in Premier League. Have faced tough comp. which should count. I understand that Conner Agnew left team to play for North Meck Academy. Coast was the spoiler in first round last year. Could go either way.
3. CESA 93 Challenge vs CFC 93 Boys
CESA is a solid team. Did well winning challenge league this year. These two teams tied 1-1 in league play. CESA should win.
4. SC United MP vs SC United Palmetto 1
The two teams tied 2-2 in league play. Palmetto team lost their last match to SCU Elite 4-0 after beating same team twice in scrimmages during the season. If Palmetto 1's keeper is on, Eudy's boys should prevail. Drawback: they had to give up homefield advantage and will travel to MP on Thurs night to compete.
