MURRAY: The Spartans opened the regular season with a couple of wins and coach Jadee Talbot hopes to see that success carry deep into the season. Richard Jew leads Murray in goals while Ryan Margetts and John Timothy are also able to score when needed. Goalkeeper Thomas Wirthlin has a 0.75 save percentage so far and is tough to get a ball past.

RIVERTON: Tough defense is the name of the game for the Silverwolves. Coach Jason Wiscott led the team to a great year in 2006 and it looks like a repeat is in order this year with Benny Lock, Matt Maughan and Justin Knaras scoring well. Newcomer Josh Holland joins the offensive attack and is already paying off for Riverton.

WATERFORD: Always a threat, the Ravens return for another big run at a state championship. Senior Mark Manning may be as good a player as the state has and had 10 goals and four assists in Waterford's first two games. Sunn Kim and Roarke Jennings are also expected to contribute to the offense while Ian Wade takes over in the crease.
