Buena Vista (0-3) @ #15 Chestnut Hill Griffins (2-1) (-18) :
- With Chestnut Hill only needing a win and for North Central to win to most likely capture the 3rd annual highly coveted Dice Roll trophy. The Griffins will play in front of the home crowd hoping to drop the confetti following the final of the opening game. Buena Vista is coming off of their first win of the season and after the performance they pulled off in the first half vs Elmira; this is anything but a pushover game for the Griffins. With so much on the line look for Ryan Hart and Gary Wagner to have big games and finish this thing off the way they expected.
Prediction: Griffins by 13
Elmira Soaring Eagles (1-2) @ #25 North Central Cardinals (2-1) (-1):
- In the nights opener the North Central Cardinals will be playing with the hopes of winning the Dice Roll Trophy in their second season of competing. If Chestnut Hill loses all North Central needs to do is win to capture the trophy, if they both win; the Cardinals need to win by 28 more points than the Griffins to take over the second tiebreaker. Elmira, after having a sluggish start to the invitational will look to go into the regular season on a positive note and a road win vs a ranked opponent could do just that for them. The balanced attack from N. Central may be too much for Elmira and the Cardinals may be watching the second game with excitement in hopes of hoisting the trophy at the end of the night.
Prediction: Cardinals by 3
