We’re live from Glens Falls

Action is officially underway here at the Glens Falls Civic Center, where Blessed Sacrament of New Rochelle just tipped in its Class B semifinal. As you can imagine, we were all enthused about the 10 a.m. start.
The good people at The Journal News have provided you, the fans, with a six-person crew for the Federation this weekend. The reporters are myself, “Carp,”:http://carp.lohudblogs.com Harold Gutmann, and “Kevin.”:http://kickoff.lohudblogs.com Matt Brown and Peter Carr are holding things down on the photo side.
Harold, Kevin and I all drove up together last night because of the early start time. On the way to our hotel, Kevin made a joke about a bunch of city schools heading three or four hours north to play for championships that could very easily be decided a whole lot closer to home, so we put our heads together and thought about it: Do you know that Peekskill and Lakeland are the CLOSEST schools to Glens Falls this weekend? Lakeland is 159 miles from the Civic Center and Peekskill is 168. I’m sure both with feel right at home.
Prediction: Although, as I noted in today’s story, “Lakeland is facing its stiffest competition all season,”:http://www.lohud.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070323/SPORTS02/703230400/1034/SPORTS I just cannot pick against the Hornets. Not only have they won every game, but they’ve never even really been threatened.
Steve Fallo always says his team is the one to beat until it has a blemish on its record; I happen to agree. LAKELAND 64, KENNEDY 59. The Hornets will have to score a little more than normal to win, but they will.
