The Suffolk League IV title could come down to a game between its top two teams. First-place Half Hallow Hills West (10-1-0) and second-place Smithtown West (9-1-1) will need to wins its next two regular season games to set up a game between the two teams on Oct. 24 that would decide the league title. Hills West has games left again Deer Park (1-8-2) and Bellport (2-4-5) and Smithtown West must beat Bellport and West Babylon (8-3-0).
Yet what makes this truly interesting is Smithtown West's only loss was 4-2 to West Babylon, while Hills West's only loss was 1-0 to Smithtown West. Smithown West has the obvious harder road having to play West Babylon, but could gain an emotional advantage going into the final game with a hard-fought win. Do you think both teams will win its next two games? If so, then who wins when Smithtown West and Hills West play each other?
