BOYS

This is definitely the top Region race of the day as someone deserving to punch their ticket is going to be sitting at home in 2 weeks.  Starrs Mill and McIntosh Boys are evenly matched and should be quite a battle. Morrow had a surprising regular season and will be duking it out to get in with Union Grove. Northgate and everyone else have will have a tough time qualifying. Top Boys to watch are:
