TISCIA'S PICK: Valley Regional/Old Lyme 33, Gilbert/Northwestern 20 – This will be the hardest game ‘GN’ will play to date. Valley Regional/Old Lyme is an offensive force, scoring 40 or more point six times this season. It will take a near-perfect defensive effort from the Yellowjackets to pull this off.
