Looks like DIV is EA’s to loose this year. I know they have a good bit of their team returning. D1 looks like it’ll be really close all year between Jesuit and St Paul’s.

[uhscubs1]

How long has it been since St Paul was not the clear #1 pre-season favorite?

[smoser]

a long time... but that's what you get when you give up two goals in stoppage time. St.Pauls travels to play Jesuit two weeks from today, on Nov.20, at 5:30.
