BUBBLE WATCH
DIVISION 1
QUALIFIED

Sci-Tech (13-3), Chicopee (12-4), East Longmeadow (11-4), Northampton (14-2), Minnechaug (12-4), Central (10-6), Commerce (10-7), West Springfield (10-7)
BUBBLE
VALLEY WHEEL keeps spinning
Longmeadow (7-10) - Lancers have Comp, Westfield and Putnam in their final three.
Chicopee Comp (7-10) - Colts have Longmeadow, Minnechaug and Westfield.
Westfield (7-10) - Bombers have Chicopee, Longmeadow and Comp.
It’s quit possible all three knock each other out. It’s highly unlikely two get in. If one gets in it should be Longmeadow. The Lancers have the easier road record wise.
ELIMINATED
Amherst (3-14), Agawam (4-13), Pittsfield (4-13), Ludlow (4-13), Cathedral (5-12), Putnam (5-12), Holyoke (4-13)

DIVISION 2
QUALIFIED

Palmer (14-4), Hoosac (15-3), Drury (15-3), South Hadley (6-9), Mohawk (11-6), Belchertown (12-6), Taconic (12-6), Wahconah (10-8), Hampshire (10-8)
BUBBLE
Mahar (8-8) - Senators have Pioneer Christian, Smith Academy, Mohawk and Greenfield and needs two wins. Could get three.
Race for Second place in Berkshire South
Monument (6-11) - The Spartans (4-7) are one game behind Lee (5-6) for second place. Monument has first-place St. Joseph (5-5) and Lenox (2-9). Lee has Lenox (2-9) and Mt. Greylock (2-9). St. Joe’s has Monument, and North powers Taconic and Hoosac.
Keep in mind that if Lee and St. Joe’s tied for first, Monument would not get in. If say Lee wins the South and St. Joe’s and Monument tie for second, MM gets in.
