Here is a preview of tonight's Division 2 game. I'll have previews for Thursday's games later. 

Division 2
No. 4 Palmer (16-5) vs. No. 1 Hoosac Valley (18-3), 8 p.m.
Head to head: Did not play
How they got here: Palmer beat Belchertown; Hoosac beat Mahar
Players to watch: Palmer: Tyler France, Jackson Bailey; Hoosac: Robbie Burke, Dalton Larabee
Winner gets: Drury in finals
Hoosac team offense: 59.2 points per game
Hoosac team defense: 48.9
Palmer team offense: 55.2
Palmer team defense: 47.8
Comments: Palmer had a relatively easy time with Belchertown in the quarters while Hoosac needed a buzzer beater from Burke to beat Mahar. It’s not the first time Burke won a game at the buzzer this season so Hoosac has the edge in close-game experience. Either team could make a case for having the tougher schedule. Palmer played Sabis, NLCS, Quabbin and Southbridge, the latter two D1 teams out of central Mass. Hoosac played Taconic twice, Drury twice, Mohawk, Commerce, Putnam and Amherst the latter three D1 teams from the PVIAC.
Keys for Hoosac: Keep Bailey off the glass and slow down France. The loss of Nate Biros to an ACL tear will hurt with blocking out Bailey so Larabee will need to play well.
Keys for Palmer: Slow down Burke (easier said than done).
History: Hoosac last appeared in the finals in 2005 where it lost to South Hadley. Hoosac won its only title in 2003. Should the Hurricanes advance, it will set up the first final ever between heated rivals Drury and Hoosac. Drury has won six titles, most recently in 1990, and is in the finals for the first time since 1995.
Palmer reached the Division 3 finals in 1989 where it lost to Smith Academy.
