Angola-NorthWood Sectionals Finals preview

The Hornets won the NECC Conference (6-2) this season outright for the first time in 16 seasons. They have 12 seniors on the roster. Their record overall is 12-4-1 and Dailey is their leading scorer (for the 11 games I could find information on, he scored 15 times). They are scrappy and hard working as you would expect. Their regular season schedule is not overly impressive and does not match up with the Panthers' 2020 schedule. They did not face a ranked opponent nor did they play any NLC team. Therefore they are hard to compare to NorthWood. The Panthers were at #8 in the rankings on the final day of the regular season. Game time is 7 pm at West Noble. The winner advances to the Regional Semi Final at Mishawaka Marian a week from tomorrow (10/17). The Panthers are all healthy for tomorrow's game. The weather forecast shows mostly cloudy and 67 degrees for kick off time tomorrow and the wind will be at NNW 8 mph which is less than what we have been dealing with at West Noble all week long. Of course it doesn't help that we are in the middle of a corn field......
