A rivalry over the years, and Both teams coming off big wins and carrying some confidence. Whiteoak is looking to get back on track and heading into the hardest part of their schedule and Eastern is rolling the last few games...Eastern will be looking for revenge from last year and Whiteoak will get their first look at Lawson since he was injured last year...Should be a good game.

Predictions?

If I'd known yesterday what I know now, this would have been one of the BIG games.

Both teams coming off of impressive wins. The game being played at Eastern makes it a very tough but winnable game for Whiteoak. You figure Eastern will play pretty well at home, but Whiteoak proved they can be very good on the road with their performance at Oak Hill earlier in the season. If Whiteoak can hit their shots and avoid foul trouble they stand a chance to come out on top yet again.

Eastern just knocked off an undefeated Peebles team. This game for Whiteoak may have the difficulty level of a D4 District Championship game. Things like playing smart, crashing the boards, making 1 on 1 free throws, limiting turnovers and hitting a couple BIG shots in crunch time will be needed.....fortunately they have the cast of players to do it.

Whiteoak 46
Eastern Brown 42

I find easterns new gym to be a tough place to play. Even for Eastern, lol. It is pretty wide open, air conditioned, rims are tight, and I wouldnt consider it to be a shooters gym, which is opposite of their old gym, "the Barn", where the rims were soft and it was HOT!

Eastern by 12

I don't think any team in the SHL is playing as good as Eastern right now. I'll take the Warriors by 14.

Manchester guys drilled the prediction.

Good win for Eastern....Whiteoak will bounce back.

score?

52 - 40
