If they play the way they did against Comsewogue, Jay is unbeatable. That game was a total team effort, a lot of hustle and crisp passing. Based on these stats:

It definately will be not a high scoring game. The teams will be tight wit the big crowd and all and that will also keep the score down.

In the recent meetings between JJ and Yorktown, the pace has been settled and the scores have not gotten that high. Put it this way. Last year I think we can all agree when JJ and Yorktown met in the regular season, JJ was a heavy favorite and playing at home. Final score - 12-6 JJ. That's not a lot of goals even in that scenario with JJ's offense being a bit more powerful than this year and Yorktown's defense and goaltending at that point not nearly as strong as it is now. I originally had 9-8 as the final, but dropped it at the last minute to 8-7 when I saw the forecast of intermittent rain for Friday. You guys feel strongly and so do I. We'll just have to see. Should be interesting. Old Timer –

As I said in the podcast, I'd be very surprised if it got into double figures, and shocked if either team got into the teens. Remember, 2005 sectional final - it was Yorktown 5, JJ 4 after JJ won the regular-season game 7-5. Also, in the last 13 meetings between the teams, the winning team has scored less than 10 goals six times.
