             The Skinny
1 Deerfield (1) 8-0 Big, powerful. Won Flood-Marr.
2 St. Sebastian's (2) 4-0 Cohesive squad, excellent team play. Breezed at Barber, as expected. 
3 St. Paul's (8) 8-0 Won Avon Tournament without best player, Colin Koch (concussion).
4 Berkshire (3) 7-1 Pietrasiak just average in loss to St. Paul's.
5 Exeter (4) 4-1-1 Griffins don't play another Top 10 team for five weeks.
6 Taft (6) 4-1 Won L'ville Tournament. Have four straight shutouts vs. New England Div. I teams.
7 Cushing (5) 4-1 Bet on them moving up.  
8 Salisbury (NR) 5-2-1 No one has played Deerfield as close as Salisbury did in 2-1 loss at Flood-Marr Friday night.
9 Avon Old Farms (7) 5-3 Winged Beavers aren't beating the good teams. 
10 Tabor (10) 3-3-1 In danger of falling out of top 10.
