We're over two hours away from kickoff of the Class II Long Island championship between East Islip and Lawrence.
Let's get a prediction forum going.
Pick the score, post your name, and include one sentence of analysis if you'd like. Whoever comes closest wins and I'll put your name in REALLY BIG CAPITAL LETTERS at the end of the game. Not much of a prize, I know, but whatever. Let's get it going.
I'll start.
East Islip 24, Lawrence 21. Late field goal by Sean Moller.

east islip- 31
lawrence- 24
east islip will grind it out running the ball. Go ahead TD in 4th by dennis drywa to win it!!
This should be a very close game. The way to beat Lawrence is by beating them early, as their defense gets better and better as the game progresses. Add the experience in the Long Island Championships for Lawrence, I will take the Golden Tornadoes in a tight game.
Final score: Lawrence 28, East Islip 24
Lawrence -20-East Islip -14. in a classic hs football game.
East Islip - 21
Lawrence - 22 (overtime)
Game goes to OT tied 14-14. EI scores and kicks the PAT. On Lawrence's turn, they score, go for two,...and get it...barely.
Lawrence 27- East Islip 14
EI 30 Lawrence 27...two great offenses...which defense comes up big? I think Moller will prob. kick three fg's in this one.
East Islip 17, Lawrence 14. The game will be a slugfest on the lines. And it will be won on a last-minute field goal.
This is the muscle of the EI boys against the power and speed of the Lawrence guys. I say EI unravels and loses its composure at the end and Lawrence prevails.
Lawrence 35, East Islip 14. two-time champs.
