             The Skinny

1 Deerfield 3-0 They have, as Earl Weaver used to say, "deep depth."
2 St. Sebastian's 3-0 Defending NEPSIHA champs just keep rolling along. A batch of skill.  
3 Berkshire 4-0 Having Jeff Pietrasiak means that on any given day they can beat anybody.
4 Exeter  3-1 Nate Jackson's performance on Saturday was one for the ages.    
5 Cushing 3-1 Unlike last year, Cushing doesn't have the one big line. Less margin for error.
6 Taft 1-1 Nowhere near as strong as last year's team, but not shabby, either. 
7 Avon Old Farms 2-1 Beat themselves in loss to Taft.
8 St. Paul's 4-0 They're undefeated, and have a planetarium on campus.  
9 Governor Dummer 3-0 They don't score much, but G Gabe Winer doesn't give up many, either. .
10 Tabor  1-1-1 They beat Exeter, and Exeter beat Cushing, so.... here they are.

 

Only games between NEPSIHA Div. I schools -- the principal factor in determining seedings for the playoffs -- are included in the won-lost records above.
