5:59	OK everyone. David Willis checking in to talk high school hockey. Feel free to comment on any topic on the local scene.

6:18	[Comment From RaiderNation] David, do you think Central Catholic will make the Super 8 again this season?

6:23

Nation, I don't see why not. Central has been playing as well as anyone in the state recently. Going into the week they were ranked No. 11 in Eastern Mass, and since then they beat Arlington and tied Catholic Memoral, the No. 10 team in Eastern Mass. It should only go up. And, as coach Mike Jankowski pointed out the other day, everyone is contributing. They don't have just one top line like they did two years ago when they made the Super 8, led by Paul Jaskot. They have a balanced attack, led by Connor MacPhee (9 goals) and Cam Fisichelli and Mike Holland (6 goals each).

6:25	Might I add, goalie Cam Keller was awsome against CM. But the Raiders do face some tough competition. They still have to play St. John's Prep (No. 12 in Eastern Mass), Arlington Catholic (No. 3) and always-tough Andover before the season ends.

6:25	[Comment From Warrior Pride] I think Andover matches up well with Central. What do you think?

6:32

I've been impressed by Andover every time I've seen them. They played Central right down to the wire in their first matchup, a 4-3 Raiders win. With George Flanagan (17 goals) and Paul Russell (9 goals) leading the offense and Cam Smith finally healthy, the Warriors can score like crazy. And Riki Retelle is as good as any defensman I've seen since covering the local hockey scene.

6:32	[Comment From Warrior Pride] Central's schedule is pretty difficult, I admit. But give Andover credit.

6:34	Oh, I have and will. Andover's a good team that should make a run at a state title.
