Even though some prominent teams have ended their seasons in the last two weeks, there is plenty of action in New England and Pennsylvania over the next fortnight. I think there are a number of interesting tournaments to keep track of, including New York’s Class B, Pennsylvania’s Class 3A, and Connecticut’s Class LL. In the latter, the triumvirate of Darien, New Canaan, and Wilton will once again, I think, dominate the proceedings and it will be extremely interesting to see who comes out on top.
