***
Walpole 4, Valley Jr. Warriors 3 recap (box score unavailable):
Valley grabbed leads of 1-0 and 2-1 in the first only to be answered each
time by Walpole. Valley grabbed another in the second to go up 3-2 but John
Ronan scored on a tip-in midway through the third to tie it up before regulation
ended.  Two minutes into overtime  Stars center Paul Falco drew the puck back to defenseman Steve Wenzel who ripped a slap shot on the ice just inside the post to give Walpole the win and advance his team to tonight's title game.
