PV Perspective: Coming into the game Valley has all the momentum in the world after knocking off the county tournament champs, who also came into the state sectionals as the No. 1 seed. The Panthers have an 8 game winning streak as they look to improve that to 9. 

Roxbury Perspective: Despite Roxburys last game being a relatively easy game against Montville, they come into this game hoping to beat Valley for the first time in the last 5 years. The Gaels have a 6 game winning streak and are excited for an opportunity to make that 7. 

Past Games Between each other: These two teams faced one another in 2017 and it led to a 2-0 Valley win.
