6 Brattleboro                11 Colchester
11 Colchester


Fairly Chalk, but I do like a couple of upsets in the early rounds.  Colchester over Brattleboro will certainly be a tough win, but junior guard Anthony Granai has been playing well as of late.  I think hes capable of leading the Lakers to a first round win on the road.
Mt. Mansfield over BFA in the 4 vs. 5 game, many may not feel is an upset (including myself). MMU has played a much tougher schedule then BFA.  Eric Suder, and Ethan Brown could be a tough match up for the Bob Whites, but with stud PG Nick Swim they are also certainly capable of a win.
