I think that Boone County and CovCath could end up being the teams to beat. CovCath will need some time to gel but they finally have some depth. The junior class really compliments the returning seniors. However, my bet is with Boone County with Connor the dark horse.
The Breds will win this game by 5 due to the injuries and lack of consistency by Highlands. Although I believe that Highlands has more talent top to bottom it just won't be on display tonight - underachieving year by the Birds.
I believe that CCH, at home, will win going away. It will be close through the 1st half but Thelen and Wellbrock will dominate the much smaller Indians inside.
