| 7 | St. George's | x-x-x | (10 ) GPG/GAA: 5.00/1.69 -- Senior Ryder Shea, statistically the top goalie in prep hockey (1.74/.943) has five shutouts and has only allowed more than three goals in a game once (he gave up four at Tabor last Friday). Junior defenseman Everett Baldwin will paste anyone who gets near his goalie. Sophomore Marco Senerchia and junior Nathan Walsh are other d-men to watch. The only team ranked in this poll that St. George's has faced is #9 Dexter. The Dragons won a 3-2 nailbiter on a Nathan Walsh goal with less than two minutes remaining. SINCE FEB. 5 POLL: (5-0) Beat Rivers, Brooks, RL, Tabor, and Groton. THIS WEEK: vs. St. Mark's (Wed.), vs. Middlesex (Sat.) |

| 8 | St. Sebastian's | x-x-x | |
| 9 | Dexter | x-x-x | (N/R) GPG/GAA: 4.31/2.88 -- Dexter has a slight chance for an Elite 8 spot, but to get there they'll need to beat Holderness and Belmont Hill this week. We wouldn't make that bet, but stranger things have happened. Dexter had difficulty at the Holiday Tournaments, over one 4-game stretch going 0-2-2. Since then, they've gone 12-4-0. SINCE FEB. 5 POLL: (3-1) Lost to New Hampton; beat P-Abbey, Winchendon, and Kents Hill. THIS WEEK: @ Holderness (Wed.), vs. Bel Hill (Fri.) |
| 10 | Noble & Greenough | x-x-x | (7) GPG/GAA: 3.75/2.63 -- Ten of the Bulldogs' top 11 scorers are underclassmen. We pointed this out in the last poll, and probably several other times as well. That's their weakness as there's plenty of skill here, and the future looks bright. But, last Friday at Bel Hill, they held leads of 2-0 and 3-1 only to give up four goals in a second-period meltdown, losing 5-3. With that loss, they gave up control of their destiny. To gain an Elite 8 spot now would require both Seb's and Dexter to crumble like those barely edible Dunkin' Donuts muffins. SINCE FEB. 5 POLL: (2-1-1) Beat Milton and BB&N; tied Gov's; lost to Belmont Hill. THIS WEEK: vs. Gov's (Wed.), @ Milton (Sat.) |
